Strike A Match (feat. Zach Rivers & Carlos Macias)

I REMEMBER NOW

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I WAS LOW

HAD TO LEARN TO COUNT

AND I'LL TELL YOU THINGS WERE SLOW

THEN A ONE AND TWO BECAME A THREE

ALL I HAD TO DO WAS FIND THE SEEDS

THAT'D I'D LATER SOW

SO THEY'D RISE UP FROM THE GROUND

IT'S TIME TO DITCH YOUR UNIFORM

SO I'LL BE NAKED FOR A LITTLE WHILE?

BUT YOU'LL START THE FIRE TO KEEP YOU WARM

SO STRIKE A MATCH

AND LEAVE YOUR LITTLE WORLD BEHIND YOU

IF YOU CAN'T SEE

YOU'LL FIND OUT FAST

CAUSE WHAT'S THE POINT

OF KINDLING IF IT CAN'T IGNITE YOU?

LET IT BURN HOT ENOUGH

TO MELT THE PAST

AND DON'T TURN BACK

I dunno man... what you're saying is really catchy and all but

I – I feel like I need to think about this more

Hey - think less!

I SHOULD TELL YOU NOW

IF THINGS CAN GO WRONG THEY'LL GO

YOU'LL BE FREAKING OUT

WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF DOUGH

LIKE YOU?

WHEN THEY'RE NOT BUYING WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO SELL

YOU WILL SCREAM AND SHOUT AND CRY AND YELL

"THIS IS GETTING OLD!"

BUT YOU'VE GOT TO STAND YOUR GROUND

IT'S TIME TO TAKE THE WORLD BY STORM

'CAUSE I'VE BEEN WAITIN' FOR A LITTLE WHILE

AND YOU'LL START THE FIRE TO KEEP YOU WARM

SO STRIKE A MATCH

AND LEAVE YOUR LITTLE WORLD BEHIND YOU

IF YOU CAN'T SEE

YOU'LL FIND OUT FAST

CAUSE WHAT'S THE POINT

OF KINDLING IF IT CAN'T IGNITE YOU?

LET IT BURN HOT ENOUGH

TO MELT THE PAST

I COULD TELL YOU THAT IT'S WORTH IT

I COULD SAY YOU'LL NEVER FALL

BUT YOU WON'T BE THINKING 'BOUT THAT

WHEN YOUR BACK'S

AGAINST THE WALL

I CAN SEE THAT YOU'RE RELUCTANT

YOU'VE JUST GOT TO FAN THE FLAMES

AND THEY WILL SHOW YOU THE NEW WAY

Hey man. Are you getting the message here?

Look, it's not gonna be all roses and butterflies

And candy and your dreams may not come true

Right away. But, you know, if you stick around

And you stick to it and give it some time

Maybe even believe in yourself a little bit

I'm telling you. I'm telling you

SO STRIKE A MATCH

AND LEAVE YOUR LITTLE WORLD BEHIND YOU

IF YOU CAN'T SEE

YOU'LL FIND OUT FAST

CAUSE WHAT'S THE POINT

OF KINDLING IF IT CAN'T IGNITE YOU?

LET IT BURN HOT ENOUGH

TO MELT THE PAST

AND DON'T TURN BACK
