Playing For Keeps

Playing For Keeps

Matchbook Romance
(album: Stories And Alibis)

It´s so simple and complicated.
The way you can crush me.
No matter how much this hurts, this is through.
I get as far as your door before i get caught.
I make up excuses just to touch you and I can´t stop, I can´t stop.

So are we playing for keeps.
These days begin and they don´t end for weeks.
Leave me left out of anything to do with you.
Excuse me while I fall apart.
Don´t flatter yourself sweetheart.
Let me take the wheel and I´ll crash this car.
Do you have to make this so hard?

You´re so good at pretending everything is alright.
You´re as welcome as cancer, but my door is always unlocked.

So are we playing for keeps.
These days begin and they don´t end for weeks.
Leave me left out of anything to do with you.
Excuse me while I fall apart.
Don´t flatter yourself sweetheart.
Let me take the wheel and I´ll crash this car.
Do you have to make this so hard?

You´re so good
You´re so good
You´re so good
You´re so good

So are we playing for keeps.
These days begin and they don´t end for weeks.
Leave me left out of anything to do with you.
Excuse me while I fall apart.
Don´t flatter yourself sweetheart.
Let me take the wheel and I´ll crash this car.
Do you have to make this so hard?
