lyrics

Settle for a matchstick
while you wait for the sun to come
It's almost like the windows were painted on
Won't the angels sing us a song tonight
'cause I'm not sure if we'll make it out alive

From this empty house
We sent it straight into that hole in the ground
Let's burn it down

Settle for a glass half full
when you get too sick of the fire
Us broken kids always need to come back home
Won't the angels sing when we die?
'cause I'm not sure if we'll make it out alive

From this empty house
We sent it straight into that hole in the ground
Let's burn it down

Nothing feels like the movies
I'm just dreaming now
Wasting days, drifting through this town
Let's burn it down

Settle for a matchstick
while you wait for the sun to come
