Lyrics

Starin' at the lightning
Through the open window
I've tried to move on
But all I want is to rest

Cancelled all of our plans
Just for the hell of it
No one knows how I feel
And I'll never tell it
No

It's just the way that you are
Frivolous with your spending of
People like they'll always be around
And it's just the way that I am
Lighting the matches and
Throwing them
And stepping back to watch it
Burn all over again

Now I'm all alone here
No one to turn to
But I'd never pick up
If you were to call
(If you were to call)

I lie awake here in the dead of night
I can't sleep in this house
It's on fire
I guess I'm doing it again

It's just the way that I am
Lighting the matches and
Throwing them
And stepping back to watch it
Burn all over again
It's just the way that you are
Frivolous with your spending of people
Like they'll always be around
(Like they'll always be around,
Like they'll always be around)

I play back the memories
Like old tapes that I can't pause
The sun has bleached my hair
I'm too tired to move on

It's just the way that I am
Lighting the matches and
Throwing them
And stepping back to watch it
Burn all over again
It's just the way that I am
I won't move on until I know I have to
And I have to
But I fear it might be too late
