Matches - Mike Mains & The Branches

Here we go falling over the edge now

The great divide is split wide open

Tell me which side of hell

You think we’ll land on

And if we make it to the pearly gates

Then tell me will our accolades

Earn for us an eternal date in heaven?

What filthy piles of sand our lives make

If we just sit beside the shore and never change

We’ll take what you believe and turn it into a forest

Give me a set of matches and we’ll sing a

That would burn down everything that kept us back

So loosen up the rope tangled around your throat now

Like flowers of spring, your words will bloom out

Because they’re destined to go upon the mountain tops

(Ohhh) Nobody cares what you believe until they see what you do

So take a step off of the porch, there’s a dream to walk through

It’s only when you die to yourself, that you’re made new

Oh and Danny signed up for war but didn’t know

(Up up ohh up up)

If all the blood he shed on the ground would change a thing at all

(Up up ohh up up)

We’ll take what you believe and turn it into a forest

Give me a set of matches and we’ll sing a

That would burn down everything that kept us back

Tell your father you love him and let’s get in my car

Drive as fast as we can 'til we’re gettin' to where we think

We will be saved, from the world and everything

Oh yeah, man grab him while the pot is hot

These words of mine are sharp enough to cut a hole in the wall

The one you built around your heart to never let no one in

You’re tough as nails but fragile as you’re seldom up the skin

We are the pictures on the wall you wish your camera took

We are the echo in the hallway that is leading you down

That dusty road your filthy feet don’t dare to walk down

But once you do you’re bound to hear «I once was lost but now I’m found!»

(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

We’ll take what you believe and turn it into a forest

Give me a set of matches and we’ll sing a

That would burn down everything that kept us back

Tell your father you love him and let’s get in my car

Drive as fast as we can 'til we’re gettin' to where we think

We will be saved, from the world and everything

Oh yeah

I once was lost but now I’m found

(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
