Like A Match
I took my head for its midnight walk
No no I hadnt been outside in days
I kept the leash by my side, but it wasn't quite tight
And I lost it

So now I'm wandering the countryside
Right past the brothels and the graveyard ghosts
And though they call me quite clearly, I keep up my pace
Because they can't save us

Stuck in a space again
Like dreaming with heavy legs
My head is made of Velcro
I can't let go! Let go! Let go! Let go!

I still believe in love
And I believe in keeping my chin up
And though we light like a match and burn only an inch
Ill take it, yes I will. Ill take it!

Such a precious instant
Perfect, unintended
And nothing there to help us hold on
Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!

So Ill love her like I loved my first
Ill laugh until my stomach bursts
Ill dream until I turn to clay
And Ill be okay. Okay, okay? Okay. Okay? Okay
