Tom Grennan – Lighting Matches lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've had a long day, I've been walking on
Hands in pockets, Wishing on stars I can't see
I watch 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 so fire catches
Stay in the dark another day (are we alone?)
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 paint my eyes on, let conversation lie on
It feels like I've no room for time
Tell me which piece of you is missing
We all got past, it exists

[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 so fire catches
Stay in the dark another day (are we alone?)
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 stand back
And I-I-I-I won't let it burn down
Gonna make this puzzle with a piece that doesn't fit
There must be something more to this

[Chorus]
So I'm lighting matches
Making a shelter for a flame so fire catches
Stay in the dark another day (are we alone?)
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
