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
