Striking Matches Lyrics - Squeeze

Striking matches an' I'm smokin' cigarettes 

Puttin? on a kettle, playin? a cassette 

Foldin? up the papers, rubbin? my eyes 

Thinkin? of all that happened last night 

The passion, the feelings that soaked in her love 

And the pools of silence where kisses were sprung 

Her love levitates me, I'm walking on air 

Two feet from the carpet, I'll always be there 

Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's mornin' again 

I look in the mirror, I still look the same 

Striking matches, getting? a flame on the stove 

There's some of her hair in the teeth of my comb 

Dirty clothes piled up on the bathroom floor 

She's silently sleepin', I half close the door

I see her beauty layin? on my bed 

I'm warm from within me with what she has said 

Her love is my balloon, I won't let it down 

For ever and ever I'll always be proud 

Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's mornin' again 

I look in the mirror, I still look the same 

Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's mornin' again 

Ooh, I'm striking matches, I go up in flames 

I'm a director casting for a part 

(Turn on the light) 

It's for a soap set here right in my heart 

(Leave her alone) 

Shuffle to the window, shuffle to the door 

(Don't wake her up) 

She got the part I don't wanna see anymore 

(Unplug the phone)

Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's mornin' again 

I look in the mirror, I still look the same 

Ooh, I'm striking matches 

Ooh, I'm striking matches, I go up in flames
