If I only had one match left
Would I try to light a fire under you?
If I could only say one thing
Would it be what I've been wanting to?

Every time I close the gate
I wonder if this is enough
If I only had one match left
I would try to light it between us

If we only spoke with our minds
I would never look you in the eye
'Cause I think I might've heard some things
You told me even if you didn't try

All the thoughts that we've been pondering
I think that they'd add up to be enough
If we only spoke with our minds
Our lips might find a way to say so much

Oh little fire, sleepy in the coals
Open up the door, see a flame unfold
Stoke with words you say and the way you say them
Little fire awaits for you to get close to him

If you only want to stay safe
And tucked under the covers of your bed
I would tell you that I knew what it was like
And of the dreams that I've been living in instead

And those times I close my eyes
And wonder what we could do with this love
If I only had one match left
If I only had one match left
If I only had one match left
I would try to light the fire between us
