Burnt Matches, Old Flames by Jay Olivine published on 2022-09-14T08:10:35Z This is a slinky little blues built around the title hook ‘Burnt Matches, Old Flames’. A cautionary tale about rekindling old love leaving you more lonely than before. Acoustic guitars, brushed drums and a whispered chorus. Lyrics can be licensed - let me know if you are interested. Full lyrics below: Burnt matches and old flames Burnt matches and old flames They’re two things I can’t explain Burnt matches and old flames Burnt matches and old flames You play with matches You're gonna get burnt You fool with old flames You're gonna get hurt But you know, they’re just the same They’re just burnt matches and old flames Burnt matches and old flames Burnt matches and old flames Burnt matches and old flames Burnt matches and old flames Some people put their matches Back into the box Some chase their old flames Like they’re hunting a fox But to me, they’re just the same They’re just burnt matches and old flames Don’t play with matches You’re sure to start a fire You’re bound to get burnt Re-igniting past desires But you know, they’re just the same They’re just burnt matches and old flames Now I beg please hear me And heed this tale of woe It happened on a lonely night When my heart was hanging low I know the path to trouble It’s a well worn track I knew right where it lead And I should’ve double back But I followed my footsteps I followed my footsteps I followed my footsteps I followed my footsteps I followed my footsteps I followed my footsteps And guess right where they led? I found my way to her front door I’ve never craved anything this much before It was warm in her arms It was hot through the night But I’ve never been more lonely in my life Some fires burn slowly Some are hard to put out Some will consume you But do not have a doubt Wo-oh-yeah Some fires burn slowly Some are hard to put out Some will consume you But do not have a doubt Once it’s been struck There’s no use in laying blame They’re just burnt matches and old flames Burnt matches and old flames Burnt matches and old flames Burnt matches and old flames Burnt matches and old flames Genre Jazz & Blues Comment by Armin Zandinejad hoooo good vibe i like it man 2024-04-11T19:57:30Z Comment by In/Action really nice 👍 2024-04-09T21:35:16Z Comment by kieranmckenna 🔁 2024-04-09T07:38:28Z Comment by Frank D Great acoustic guitar and a relaxed ambience! 2024-04-09T07:03:51Z Comment by Laszlo Papp Music Super unique peace, excellent guitar play and vocal! 2024-03-08T06:53:15Z Comment by ABCGOD Such a clever song!
