MATCHBOOK
(T. Alsup/S. Barker)
VERSE 1
Sunlight and stale perfume
Another unfamiliar room
Beautiful stranger in this bed
Awkward silence as you wake
Realizing your mistake
Same old voices in your head
Say this was fun, collect your things,
Say I should run, it’s just one of those things
CHORUS
Take her number, lose her name
Tell her that it’s all the same
No connection, no regret
Take your pleasures on the fly
Make an exit, say goodbye
Light another cigarette,
Oh, and keep yourself, keep yourself detached
She’s just a number in a MATCHBOOK
VERSE 2
Sunlight and faint cologne
She finds herself alone
In a bed that feels too wide
Another unfulfilling tryst
One more name goes on the list
Once again she acts surprised
Feeling like a whore, wonders what do I this for
Told herself he’d want something more
It’s just one of those things
CHORUS
But they take her number, lose her name
Tell her that it’s all the same
No connection, no regret
Take their pleasures on the fly
Make an exit, say goodbye
Light another cigarette,
They say keep yourself, keep yourself detached
She’s just a number in a MATCHBOOK
BRIDGE
She’s been looking for something, somewhere that’s safe to fall
You’ve been looking for nothing, looking for nothing at all
CHORUS
Sunlight and stale perfume
Another unfamiliar room
Beautiful stranger in this bed
Awkward silence as you wake
Realizing your mistake
Same old voices in your head
Say this was fun, collect your things,
Say I should run, it’s just one of those things
CHORUS
Take her number, lose her name
Tell her that it’s all the same
No connection, no regret
Take your pleasures on the fly
Make an exit, say goodbye
Light another cigarette,
Oh, and keep yourself, keep yourself detached
She’s just a number in a MATCHBOOK
