“Light Up the Match”

When it all began we ruled the land.
We were surrounded by our family, friends.
They accepted us 'cuz they could see the love.
We were a match made from the heavens above.

Then you came undone, unraveled the fun,
then announced, “War Has Begun”.

You're So Damn Analytical.
Why Don't You Just Kick Back and Relax.
You're Flip Floppin's Full Whimsical.
We've Been Draggin' 'Cuz Your,
Top Speed Panic Attacks,
Are Gas Lightin' All Political.
We're Supposed to Be Flirtin',
Not Spoutin' Out Blurred Facts.
I'm Drawin' the Line and This Is Critical,
So Listen Up Girl, You and Me,
“Light Up the Match”.

In another time we done just fine.
Our differences is what kept us both in line.
Just like our first date we laughed and played.
Two of a kind playin' a game of charades.

Until you forgot your meds, or ate them like pez,
then proclaimed, “Honey, Simon Says”.

You're So Damn Analytical.
Why Don't You Just Kick Back and Relax.
You're Flip Floppin's Full Whimsical.
We've Been Draggin' 'Cuz Your,
Top Speed Panic Attacks,
Are Gas Lightin' All Political.
We're Supposed to Be Flirtin',
Not Spoutin' Out Blurred Facts.
I'm Drawin' the Line and This Is Critical,
So Listen Up Girl, You and Me,
“Light Up the Match”.

At the very end we always push send.
We speak our minds then use rhymes to defend.
Then rationalize and circle around our own lives.
To prove its worth is the one golden surprise.

Then we looked in the mirror, realized we're inferior,
together repented, “To Our Deliverer”.

We're So Damn Analytical.
Why Don't We Just Kick Back and Relax.
We're Flip Floppin's Full Whimsical.
We've Been Draggin' 'Cuz Our,
Top Speed Panic Attacks,
Are Gas Lightin' All Political.
We're Supposed to Be Flirtin',
Not Spoutin' Out Blurred Facts.
Let's Draw the Line and This Is Critical,
So Listen Up God, We Together,
“Are a Perfect Match”.
