Troy Sennett - Book of Matches lyrics

If I found book of matches If I lit this place on fire Would you think of all the nights we sat around and time flew by? Would you stare into the flames now? And you wonder where it goes The more that you look to the past The more that you lose sight of where you are I've sat up many nights just thinking How do I move on? Where did I go wrong? But it's night like this I realize I've known this all along I've got to dream a different dream I've got to sing a different song If I found book of matches If I lit this place on fire Would you think of all the nights we sat around and time flew by? Would you stare into the flames now? And you wonder where it goes The more that you look to the past The more that you lose sight of where you are This is the first time that real life has caught up to you No, you can't always take it slow Won't be the last time if you can't learn to let go We all step in rhythm while everybody else is out of time If I found book of matches If I lit this place on fire Would you think of all the nights we sat around and time flew by? Would you stare into the flames now? And you wonder where it goes The more that you look to the past The more that you lose sight of where you are You get close enough to touch the flames And that's when you get burned When you've spent your whole life waiting Well then what have you learned? In those cold November nights when you have learned to walk alone Just keep your eyes upon the path And don't look back until you've found your way home If I found book of matches If I lit this place on fire Would you think of all the nights we sat around and time flew by? Would you stare into the flames now? And you wonder where it goes The more that you look to the past The more that you lose sight of where you are
