Story Behind the Song
I wrote this after being majorly dissed at the bar.
Lyrics
you asked me for a light,
I fumbled for a match,
deep in the pockets of my checkered dating past,
it was all that I was looking for,
I'd found it here at last,
with one remaining match,
I struck a little flame,
you gave a little laugh,
and said funny how these tiny sulfur soldier lives must pass a million times every night, it's difficult to grasp,
you reached across at last,
and cupped your hand on mine and pulled it to your cigarette,
smiling through spools of smoke flirting with your fingertips,
your eyes liquid chestnut flecked with cherry fire,
your smoke and Stoli perfume mingled with my desire
so I asked you for your number and you cracked a little smile
and said find another match.
