One Bright Match

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You walked in carrying a paper cup Rain on your sleeve, hair coming undone I was counting the cracks in the station floor Then you laughed, and I forgot the number [Pre-Chorus] One small spark in an ordinary day Turned the long way home into a better way [Chorus] Life on a tinder, a little flame A tiny hello, and nothing’s the same You make the plain old minutes come alive One bright match, and the whole day’s wide [Verse 2] We missed our stop by a mile or two Shared warm fries from a folded-up bag You drew a crooked heart on the receipt I kept it tucked in my coat all week [Pre-Chorus] One small spark in an ordinary day Turned the long way home into a better way [Chorus] Life on a tinder, a little flame A tiny hello, and nothing’s the same You make the plain old minutes come alive One bright match, and the whole day’s wide [Bridge] If the morning comes in gray again Meet me where the buses turn Bring that laugh you tried to hide We’ll give the day another chance [Final Chorus] Life on a tinder, a little flame A tiny hello, and nothing’s the same You make the plain old minutes come alive One bright match, and the whole day’s wide [Outro] One bright match The whole day’s wide
