Song | Matchsticks Don't Make Men |
Artist | Faster Faster |
Album | Hopes and Dreams |
She sits alone at this café. | |
Never looking over her shoulder, | |
But feeling every change. | |
This scene is all but picture perfect. | |
Is it worth it? | |
As the bartender pours you another drink you sit and think: | |
"Should I lock eyes with a stranger? | |
Just to feel his sense of danger?" | |
As I enter from stage right. | |
Behind a painted face she's screaming: | |
"I'm not an optimist!" | |
Keep it up, keep it up. | |
You'll find something to smile about. | |
They don't notice you; your disguise is more than convincing. | |
Keep it up, keep it up. | |
You'll find something to smile about. | |
They don't notice you; just play it cool and don't give yourself away. | |
I'll ask if this seat is taken. | |
If I'm not mistaken, | |
You were expecting me anyways. | |
Your eyes are hiding more than tears. | |
They're giving away your fears. | |
And with this handful of lines I'll expect you to change. | |
But I'm left wanting. | |
[Chorus] | |
She demands compensation for what's been done here. | |
And how I wish I knew what we were dealing with. | |
Matchsticks don't make men and I've created a monster. | |
There's a storm coming and I can feel it in my bones. | |
I want to hear your voices echo off these walls. | |
There's a storm coming I can feel it, I can feel it |
She sits alone at this café. | |
Never looking over her shoulder, | |
But feeling every change. | |
This scene is all but picture perfect. | |

You' ll find something to smile about. | |

Keep it up, keep it up. | |
You' ll find something to smile about. | |
