Lighting Matches

[Verse 1:]
I've had a long day of it
Walking home hands in pockets, wishing on stars that I can't see
I watch all you city dreamers, left hometown believers
Looking down at the ground like me.

[Pre-Chorus:]
We're all lonely people, lonely people, alone
Going in circles, going wherever the wind blows and it blows.

[Chorus:]
But I'm lighting matches
Making a shelter for a flame til' fire catches
Stay in the dark another day
I wanna know, will it all get better?
Are we alone? Or are we lost together?
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together?
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together?

[Verse 2:]
So I lift my eyes up, let conversation light up
It feels like I've known you for time
Tell me which piece of you is missing
We all got parts need fixing
It's just the catch of being alive.

[Pre-Chorus:]
We're all lonely people, lonely people, alone
Going in circles, going wherever the wind blows and it blows.

[Chorus:]
But I'm lighting matches
Making a shelter for a flame til' fire catches
Stay in the dark another day
I wanna know, will it all get better?
Are we alone? Or are we lost together?
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together?
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together?

[Bridge:]
And I-I-I-I won't strike out
And I-I-I-I won't let it burn out
Can't make this puzzle with a piece that doesn't fit
There must be something more than this.

[Chorus:]
But I'm lighting matches
Making a shelter for a flame til' fire catches
Stay in the dark another day
I wanna know, will it all get better?
Are we alone? Or are we lost together?
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together?
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
Are we lost together?
