looking for a lighter

today i turned twenty-three

finally catching up with my old fake id

i just found it in the kitchen drawer

full of sentimental things

that i don't need anymore

but still i'm searching through coupons and keys

dead flowers and figurines and old letters from you

damning the memories i rifle through

when i'm looking for a lighter

how can you flick me right back?

spark up a memory and just like that

i'm burning for you so bad

bad

bad

your love is a drag

it's a drag

it's a drag

it's just a cheap drink buzz patio

needing someone to light my smoke

in a sea of black leather jackets

i find you like metal on a magnet

old flame you're lighting me up

small talk leading into dangerous stuff

and i end up playing with fire

when i'm looking for a lighter

how can you flick me right back?

spark up a memory and just like that

i'm burning for you so bad bad bad

your love is a drag

it's a drag

it's a drag

just when i think i'm over it

i pick you up just like a bad habit

the kinda high that don't last

your love is drag

it's a drag

it's a drag

it's a drag

looks like i'm looking for you

but i'm not looking for you

damn the memories i rifle through

when i'm looking for a lighter

when i'm looking for a lighter

looks like i should get going

looks like i should quit smoking
