but I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss, I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs, the smell of smoke would hang around this long 'cause I knew everything when I was young. I knew I'd curse you for the longest time, chasin' shadows in the grocery line, I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired and you'd be standin' in my front porch light and I knew you'd come back to me.

but I took your matches before fire
could catch me, so don't look now
i'm shining like fireworks
over your sad, empty town
