Bridges Made Of Matches Lyrics

The boards of these matches
Still creak beneath my feet
I'm already lighting that match
Already burning it down
It's getting harder to look in the mirror lately
Afraid the gears on this clock are going to stop turning
Before i figure out just what I'm doing here
Sometimes its all so certain
Sometimes its so unclear

This melody in my mind slows down sometimes
My dance quiets to a shuffle across the floor
Lights go out and my friends go home
And I'm left standing behind this lonely door

The same silence where i find my sanctuary becomes a prison
Locked away my silent prayers for comfort
Waiting for that sun to shine down on me
That warmth on my skin starts to burn
Behind these iron bars
Through this open window
I'm waiting for that sun to sun shine
Wish these scars could form a name across my heart
At least then I'd know who to blame
As I look through the haze of my selfish ways
It starts to look alot like my name

The boards of these matches
Still creak beneath my feet
I'm already lighting that match
Already burning it down
Already burning it down

Bayonettes And Bedsheets

This melody in my mind slows down sometimes
My dance quiets to a shuffle across the floor
Lights go out and my friends go home
And I'm left standing behind this lonely door

The boards of these matches
Still creak beneath my feet
I'm already lighting that match
Already burning it down
Already burning it down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
