She waits for darkness to arrive
Like the night she is alive
In the moonlight she can hide
She wants the sun to disappear
Daylight fills her up with fear
And she can't keep it all inside
The world can't fit inside a matchbox
If it's full of secret dreams
It does no good to know the answer
If we don't know what it means
She lights a cigarette and waits
Loves the lover that she hates
Burns her bridges one by one
Nobody listens when she cries
So she covers up her eyes
To protect them from the sun
The world can't fit inside a matchbox
If it's full of secret dreams
It does no good to know the answer
If we don't know what it means
I know that you want to be by her side
And all of these things you hide are killers
And maybe you're wrong about
The one thing that you think you know about
She waits for daybreak to arrive
When it does she will survive
In the daylight she can't hide
She wants the world to disappear
People fill her up with fear
And she just keeps it all inside
The world can't fit inside a matchbox
If it's full of secret dreams
It does no good to know the answer
If we don't know what it means
