lyrics

i’ve tried to find a way
to reinstate my claim on this
house that’s been put to flame
by post-honeymoon phase

i’m not so trim, my face unshaved
our love seat suffers no stains
it has been put to shame
encased in picture frame

and i know and i know
and i know and i know
and i know i’ll never break her gaze
and i know and i know
and i know and i know
and i know that if i stay, she’ll never say

(forget the estate)
let’s take a holiday and try to keep what’s left of this aflame
don’t have to think about it lay it down and try another day
let’s take a holiday and try to keep what’s left of this aflame
don’t have to patronize me, shoot me down and look the other way

i want something i can’t say
to seize more than just my last day
in a coming of age
twenty-two years too late

and matches heaven made
won’t make it through the endless days
can’t seem to hold a flame
to matches china made

and i know and i know
and i know and i know
and i know i’ll never break her gaze
and i know and i know
and i know and i know
and i know that if i stay, she’ll never say

let’s take a holiday and try to keep what’s left of this aflame
don’t have to think about it lay it down and try another day
let’s take a holiday and try to keep what’s left of this aflame
don’t have to patronize me, shoot me down and look the other way
