Lighting Matches by Tom Grennan
I’ve had a long day, I’ve been walking on
Hands in pockets, Wishing on stars I can’t see
I watch you city dreamers, left hometown believers
Looking down at the ground like me
We’re all lonely people, lonely people, alone
Going in circles, going wherever the wind blows and it blows
But I’m lighting matches
Making a shelter for a flame so fire catches
Stay in the dark another day (are we alone?)
Will it all get better (are we alone?)
Or are we lost together
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together
So I paint my eyes on, let conversation lie on
It feels like I’ve no room for time
Tell me which piece of you is missing
We all got past, it exists
We’re all lonely people, lonely people, alone
Going in circles, going wherever the wind blows and it blows
But I’m lighting matches
Making a shelter for a flame so fire catches
Stay in the dark another day (are we alone?)
Will it all get better (are we alone?)
Or are we lost together
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together
And I-I-I-I won’t stand back
And I-I-I-I won’t let it burn down
Gonna make this puzzle with a piece that doesn’t fit
There must be something more to this
So I’m lighting matches
Making a shelter for a flame so fire catches
Stay in the dark another day (are we alone?)
Will it all get better (are we alone?)
Or are we lost together
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together
