Swan Matches

I remember hours scraped away
Hospital blue paint off the wall
Like it would take forever
Lighting those swan matches to see
Just how long they’ll take to burn out
Like they could burn forever
How we envied all those actors lives
How that cricket talked all night
Like he could talk forever
Then I thought I’d heard you in the hall
Turns out that it wasn’t you at all
I guess you had to be there
And I remember how fast we ran
I remember how fast we ran
We flew over fences
We dodged all the moving cars
And the dry Arizona faces
The dry Arizona faces
And how we stayed awake all night long
How we stayed awake all night long
We flew over fences
We dodged all the moving cars
And the dry Arizona faces
The dry Arizona faces
