She strikes a match like a conversation pours us both another drink and knows Hikes a path to my inspiration warmest coat a mother’s instinct grows And when I listen to your eyes
It’s like I think that I can almost hear them cry She strikes a match to a constellation spills my glass the puddle reaches hers Finds a path to my education fills the gaps that other teachers learnt But when I listen to your eyes I start to think that I might never hear you smile
Can’t relate, won’t admit, you sail away the ocean splits, time you wait, floats the ship A long debate spoken quick, want to leave, really trying to fall asleep, but it’s still your side, she wants to leave, she’s really lying, she wants to grieve but she’s still alive
She strikes a match with an observation points out things I’d only seen before Writes a map with no information joins our fingers only me she’s for And then I listen to your eyes and like to think that I could maybe hear them shine
Can’t relate, won’t admit, you sail away the ocean splits, time you wait, floats the ship A long debate spoken quick, want to leave, really trying to fall asleep, but it’s still your side, she wants to leave, she’s really lying, she wants to grieve but she’s still alive
Watch you sail away the music in your eyes Watch you sail away the moon was in disguise Watch you sail away there’s music in your eyes Chasing silhouettes
Can’t relate, won’t admit, you sail away the ocean splits, time you wait, floats the ship A long debate spoken quick, want to leave, really trying to fall asleep, but it’s still your side, she wants to leave, she’s really lying, she wants to grieve but she’s still alive
