lyrics

Light that match
Strike those pins
Knock me down
Knock me down again

Once we rode the waves
sun in our hair
salt in our teeth
felt the water break
pull the sand from under our feet
nothing burns my tongue now
nothing scrapes my knee
I stay out of the sun now
I keep my hands clean

Light that match
Strike those pins
Knock me down
Knock me down again

Once we drove all night
wind in our hair
blood in our cheeks
we would cut the lights
race the moon right over the trees
drink the bottle dry
watch the sun rise out of the sea

nothing breaks my heart now
nothing moves my feet
no fire in my blood now
I walk the lighted streets

nothing terrifies me
nothing can shake me
no power in the lines now
no flooding on the streets

Light that match
Strike those pins
Knock me down
Knock me down again
