Playing For Keeps Lyrics
It's so simple and complicated.
The way you can crush me.
No matter how much this hurts, this is through.
I get as far as your door before i get caught.
I make up excuses just to touch you and I can't stop, I can't stop.
So are we playing for keeps.
The days begin and they don't end for weeks.
Leave me left out of anyting to do with you.
Excuse me while I fall apart.
Don't flatter yourself sweetheart.
Let me take the wheel and I'll crash this car.
Why do you have to make this so hard?
You're so good at pretending everything is alright.
You're as welcome as cancer, but my door is always unlocked

lyrics are so true and perfect..
Definitely right...This song is amazing and has great sound and everything. This is one of my favorite songs even though I like every one. They were awesome at the Dec 17th concert with Yellowcard. Got both their cd's there...best 15 bucks spent EVER.
i was a fan of matchbook romance before all the stupid little girls at my school who think they are "punk" started showing up at the shows, but anyhoo, this song sounds like taking back sunday...odd
"you're as welcome as cancer, but my door is always unlocked"
i like that line. matchbook is one of my fav's. they have some good lines. check out something corporate...
and countmycrows, i def. agree with you on that one i hate it when girls just start listening to it and think they're punk and shit..isn't that just a pain in the ass..it kills me-it's def. a pet peeve
This song is freaking awesome. The acoustic is just as awesome. Matchbook Romance needs to get bigger, they are good enough to.
This band and others as good as it make me sad because i don't live in America and i'll probably never get to see them live.......
"you're as welcome as cancer, but my door is always unlocked"
i agree, i like that line too. it means that he cant stand to see her come back, but his door is always unlocked if she does want to.
i was so fucking happy when they played this live. basically about how painful and dramatic relationships can get and how frustrating it is.
i think it's talking about some girl who continually flirts with him. Then when he thinks she really loves him, she turns around and says she doesn't. He keeps getting hurt by her, and he doesn't want her around, but he can't help letting her come back.
CountMyCrows ...what does it matter who likes thse guys ya know if you spend all ur time gettin angry about that stuff you'll miss out on some cool stuff i reckon chill out ...and keep it real
