Seems you've been changing lately 00:07
I can feel the distance in your touch 00:08
There's two people in this hallway 00:10
But there's only one of us 00:13
That's tryna keep this fire going 00:15
Should I just give up? 00:17
I sense trouble on the horizon 00:19
I'm afraid our time is up 00:21
The clouds are rolling in, I feel you drifting away 00:23
And though my intuition tells me that it's too late 00:27
That in these conditions, tryna bring back the flame is like 00:30
Tryna light a match in the rain 00:35
I still want to make you love me, make you love me again 00:39
Even though my intuition tells me that it's the end 00:43
That in these conditions tryna bring back the flame is like 00:46
Tryna light a match in the rain 00:52
00:56
Yeah, I can taste it, it's the end 00:59
This love's impossible to save 01:01
Though you embrace it, I can't face it 01:03
So I look the other way 01:05
There's trouble in your eyes 01:07
But I pretend that we're okay 01:09
I wish that we could compromise 01:11
But there's just nothin' left to say 01:13
The clouds are rolling in, I feel you drifting away 01:15

Tryna light a match in the rain 01:44
Tryna light a match in the rain 01:47
Like flyin' a kite in a hurricane 01:49
Like ridin' a bike with no air chain 01:51
On a broken road, it's a losing game 01:53

[English]

Seems you've been changing lately
I can feel the distance in your touch
There's two people in this hallway
But there's only one of us
That's tryna keep this fire going
Should I just give up?
I sense trouble on the horizon
I'm afraid our time is up
The clouds are rolling in, I feel you drifting away
And though my intuition tells me that it's too late
That in these conditions, tryna bring back the flame is like
Tryna light a match in the rain
I still want to make you love me, make you love me again
Even though my intuition tells me that it's the end
That in these conditions tryna bring back the flame is like
Tryna light a match in the rain

Yeah, I can taste it, it's the end
This love's impossible to save
Though you embrace it, I can't face it
So I look the other way
There's trouble in your eyes
But I pretend that we're okay
I wish that we could compromise
But there's just nothin' left to say
The clouds are rolling in, I feel you drifting away
And though my intuition tells me that it's too late
That in these conditions, tryna bring back the flame is like
Tryna light a match in the rain
I still want to make you love me, make you love me again
Even though my intuition tells me that it's the end
That in these conditions tryna bring back the flame is like
Tryna light a match in the rain
Tryna light a match in the rain
Like flyin' a kite in a hurricane
Like ridin' a bike with no air chain
On a broken road, it's a losing game
Tryna light a match in the rain
Like flyin' a kite in a hurricane
Like ridin' a bike with no air chain
On a broken road, it's a losing game
The clouds are rolling in, I feel you drifting away
And though my intuition tells me that it's too late
That in these conditions, tryna bring back the flame is like
Tryna light a match in the rain
I still want to make you love me, make you love me again
Even though my intuition tells me that it's the end
That in these conditions tryna bring back the flame is like
Tryna light a match in the rain
