Sift through the ashes, wonder was this for the best.
Better forgotten or better to keep what was left?
But before I think, the match is already lit.
Sift through the ashes, throw my whole past to the wind.
The sun moves from west to east, again, and
Birds fly in reverse just overhead.
Piled in boxes, pictures I couldn't forget.
Pieces of letters, no knowledge of how it ends.
In my current state I just can't bear the thought of it.
Moving through backwards, I put each box back in place.
The sun moves from west to east again, and
Birds fly in reverse just overhead.
Take it all back.
Let me unstrike the match.
Lay in the light, sleep out the fever chill.
It's all gone from my sight, but the memory lingers still.
Gone from my sight, but I can't erase what time will.
The sun moves from west to east again, and
Birds fly in reverse just overhead.
Take it all back.
Let me unstrike the match.
Oh just take it all back.
Let me unstrike the match.
Better forgotten or better to keep what was left?
But before I think, the match is already lit.
Sift through the ashes, throw my whole past to the wind.
Birds fly in reverse just overhead.
Pieces of letters, no knowledge of how it ends.
In my current state I just can't bear the thought of it.
Moving through backwards, I put each box back in place.
Birds fly in reverse just overhead.
Take it all back.
Let me unstrike the match.
It's all gone from my sight, but the memory lingers still.
Gone from my sight, but I can't erase what time will.
Birds fly in reverse just overhead.
Take it all back.
Let me unstrike the match.
Oh just take it all back.
Let me unstrike the match.
