Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My hands are cupped around a match
I'm just trying to keep the lights on
But a lighthouse should not be in league
With the rocks
Though at some point, it's all uncharted waters
[Chorus]
I didn't see you there
I didn't see you there
I didn't see you there
I didn't see you there
[PreChorus]
Hands are cupped around a match
I'm just trying to keep the lights on
With the martyrs, in the tombs
With the saints
Or whoever wants to burn, whatever
[Chorus]
I didn't see you there
I didn't see you there
I didn't see you there
I didn't see you there
[PreChorus]
Hands are cupped around a match
I'm just trying to keep the lights on
If you wanted quick results, said the night
Well, then I think you should have been a surgeon
[Chorus]
I didn't see you there
I didn't see you there
I didn't see you there
I didn't see you there
[PreChorus]
Or has it already gone out?
Or has it already gone out?
Or has it already gone out?
Or has it already gone out?
[PreChorus]
Hands are cupped around a match
I'm just trying to keep the lights on
Hands are cupped around a match
I'm just trying to keep the lights on
[Chorus]
I didn't see you there
I didn't see you there
I didn't see you there
I didn't see you there
