CAPO 3
VERSE 1
()
I could catch just like a candle melt myself down to an end
and have no way of ever coming back round here again
or I could glow just like an amber rising out of an autumn fire
drifting to the heavens floating higher and higher
you better hide your matches, boy
I could sparkle like thin white paper wrapped tight round some cigarette
and leave nothing but the smell of smoke and the bitter taste of regret
or I could get hot like them coals that turn the water into steam
and fall down around you like some misty morning
you better hide your matches, boy
you better hide your matches, boy, oh
CHORUS
cause I'm bound to lose all I am right here in your arms
and it ain't gonna take much
and it ain't gonna take long
so you best turn your eyes if youre not ready tonight
to watch me burn like this
you better hide your matches
VERSE 2
cause I can't afford to let you go
I'm afraid to draw you near
cause I could get so lost in you that I might dissapear
and the words are on the tip of my tongue
but you wont hear a sound
cause once that fire gets going, there's no way to slow it down
you better hide your matches, boy
you better hide your matches, boy yeah
CHORUS
()
you better hide your matches, boy
oh yeah
you better hide your matches, boy
END
