Name on a Matchbook Lyrics

So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong
So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong

Stranger to me now
Come in too close
Come in too close for comfort
When the sun went down
Midnight bask on the antisocial
Maybe on another night
Maybe at another time
Met you somewhere before
I wonder it's a shock at all

So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong
So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong
I got your name on a matchbook
I need your face in a flash
So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong

I leave your books unwrapped
Your mouth unkissed
your bed can stay unmade up
Step too easily
It's too impossible to believe
Is it wrong that I want more
I wonder as I shut the door

So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong
So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong
I got your name on a matchbook
I need your face in a flash
So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong

So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong
So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong
I got your name on a matchbook
I need your face in a flash
So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong

Karen Bird's Theme

So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong
So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong

Stranger to me now
Come in too close
Come in too close for comfort
When the sun went down
Midnight bask on the antisocial
Maybe on another night
Maybe at another time
Met you somewhere before
I wonder it's a shock at all

So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong
So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong
I got your name on a matchbook
I need your face in a flash
So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong

I leave your books unwrapped
Your mouth unkissed
your bed can stay unmade up
Step too easily
It's too impossible to believe
Is it wrong that I want more
I wonder as I shut the door

So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong
So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong
I got your name on a matchbook
I need your face in a flash
So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong

So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong
So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong
I got your name on a matchbook
I need your face in a flash
So long, so long
Oh take me, prove me wrong

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.
