Pocketful of Matches

[Verse 1] I picked a topic off the floor A paper moon, a screen door A fish in boots, a crooked grin A key that fits nowhere in You laughed and said, "Why that one?" 'Cause it felt like red gum on my tongue Small and strange, but hard to shake Like a name I almost couldn't save [Pre-Chorus] Now it's stuck in my teeth Like a song with a dare Little sparks in my palm I can feel them everywhere [Chorus] Pocketful of matches Pocketful of matches One small spark and I'm gone Pocketful of matches Pocketful of matches Say the word, we strike on [Verse 2] I gave it legs, I gave it eyes Put a little storm in its disguise Now it's running through the wire fence Barefoot, wild, and making sense You said, "That thing looks dangerous" I said, "Good, that's why it found us" It only takes a tiny flame To turn a bored day into a name [Pre-Chorus] Now it's stuck in my teeth Like a song with a dare Little sparks in my palm I can feel them everywhere [Chorus] Pocketful of matches Pocketful of matches One small spark and I'm gone Pocketful of matches Pocketful of matches Say the word, we strike on [Bridge] If the world tilts, we float on light If you shine, I glow brighter inside We gather what burns, we guard the spark Hand in hand, we'll light up the dark [Chorus] Pocketful of matches Pocketful of matches One small spark and I'm gone Pocketful of matches Pocketful of matches Say the word, we strike on [Outro] Pocketful of matches, we carry the flame Small but stubborn, we whisper your name
