Matchbook Romance
(album: Stories And Alibis)

we drive tonight,
and you are by my side.
We´re talking about our lives,
like we´ve known each other forever.
the time flies by,
with the sound of your voice.
its close to paradise,
with the end surely near.
and if i could only stop the car
and hold onto you,
and never let go (and never let go)
i´ll never let go (i´ll never let go)
as we round the corner
to your house
you turned to me and said,
"i´ll be going through withdrawal of you
for this one night we have spent."
and, i want to speak these words
but i guess i´ll just bite my tongue,
and accept "someday, somehow"
as the words that we´ll hang from.

and i (i..), i don´t want to speak these words.
´cause i (´cause i..), i don´t want to make things any worse.
and i (i..), i don´t want to speak these words.
´cause i, i don´t want to make things any worse.

why does tonight, have to end?
why don´t we hit restart,
and pause it at our favorite parts.
we´ll skip the goodbyes.
if i had it my way,
i´d turn the car around and runaway,
just you and i.

and i (i..), i don´t want to speak these words.
´cause i (´cause i..), i don´t want to make things any worse. (any worse)
and i (i..), i don´t want to speak these words
´cause i, i don´t want to make things
and i, i don´t want to make things any worse
