歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] Seventy-four in a jar From a diner near and far The Rusty Spoon, the Neon Star Striking light inside my car Faded orange, burnt and old Stories that were never told Keeping out the winter cold Watch the amber flame unfold [Pre-Chorus] Tracing lines of blue ink Gives me time to think About the mailman's slow walk And the way the floorboards talk [Chorus] Phosphorus and faded dreams Splitting at the paper seams Waiting for your cursive hand Across the miles of sand Little strikes of light Keep me warm tonight Just a spark in the dark Leaving such a tiny mark [Post-Chorus] Strike a match, let it glow Where did all the diners go? Strike a match, let it glow [Verse] A phone number on the back Faded down to dusty black Someone wanted someone then With a leaky ballpoint pen Was it 1979 or ten? I trace a doodle of a bird A message that was never heard Every crease is quite absurd [Hook] Matchbook magic in my palm Keeping all the static calm Matchbook magic in my palm [Chorus] Phosphorus and faded dreams Splitting at the paper seams Waiting for your cursive hand Across the miles of sand Little strikes of light Keep me warm tonight Just a spark in the dark Leaving such a tiny mark [Bridge] Airmail envelopes are thin Letting all the daylight in I check the metal box again Counting heartbeats out of ten The hinge is rusted shut In this quiet little rut Maybe you forgot the zip Or the stamp began to slip [Breakdown] Casio keys spinning slow Nowhere else for me to go Just the sulfur and the dust And a heart I try to trust [Chorus] Phosphorus and faded dreams Splitting at the paper seams Waiting for your cursive hand Across the miles of sand Little strikes of light Keep me warm tonight Just a spark in the dark Leaving such a tiny mark [Post-Chorus] Strike a match, let it glow Where did all the diners go? Strike a match, let it glow [Outro]
