Matches, used to get so distracted Lightnin' up all this madness Made to feel, I'm average, have this Lonely, hopin' that God might hold me Put His arms 'round me, slowly No one never told me I used to give up the fight Now I'm not scared anymore I could set the world on fire, no matches I could change the world layin' on this mattress I could save the world, right off its axis Don't you know I could set the world on fire, no matches Strike it up til were ashes No more tears on these lashes Now I'm more than average, standin' Taller, I couldn't feel any taller You could stand on my shoulders Don't know if I told ya I used to give up the fight Now I'm not scared anymore I could set the world on fire, no matches I could change the world layin' on this mattress I could save the world, right off its axis Don't you know I could set the world on fire, no matches Lightnin' up all that darkness Feelin' awful, not hopeless Knowin' that it's not worth it Can't believe that I used to give up the fight But now I'm ready for more I could set the world on fire, no matches I could change the world layin' on this mattress I could save the world, right off its axis Don't you know I could set the world on fire, no matches
