about

This song is a story about coming to terms with a romantic relationship and having issues that are standing in the way of full committment to said relationship...it's also kind of about the state of the world and how everything we have in place as a society are falling apart and there's still hope to change the wrongs that have been done so far.

lyrics

You should've known I wasn't good at holding on to fragile things,
'cause when you met me everything was broken - hearts and guitar strings
Right before tour, you slid a ring on my finger as if it would keep me from sticking them in places you wouldn't want them to go

Hold on or go on;
Don't let me be the rope that keeps you hanging on
You should let go, 'cause we don't know if I can be the stable ground that you stand upon.

It's funny how 'I love you' never turns out as good as it sounds,
But there's a chance that our love's one worth saving
When will I learn; still striking matches as I watch this city burn;
When everything comes crashing down will you be waiting?

Will you still be waiting?

Weather the storm; we flicker just like candles left out in the rain;
It's so dark and cold if you leave I don't know if I'll find my way;
I'm drinking shots of memories
Chase them with regret that consumes me and I just can't seem to drink enough to stop this constant burn

Hold on, or go on;
I'll never be all you want - only who I am

It's funny how 'I love you' never turns out as good as it sounds,
But there's a chance that our love's one worth saving
When will I learn; still striking matches as I watch this city burn;
When everything comes crashing down will you be waiting?

It's not too late;
Oh, not too late to change our ways and come back from the edge
It's not too late;
Oh, not too late - together we can learn to love again

It's not too late;
Oh, not too late to change our ways and come back from the edge
It's not too late;
Oh, not too late - together we can learn to love again

It's funny how 'I love you' never turns out as good as it sounds,
But there's a chance that our love's one worth saving
When will I learn; still striking matches as I watch this city burn;
When everything comes crashing down will you be waiting?
