Danielle Lussier - Another Torch Song Lyrics

You said you saw me coming from across the square
I didn't recognize you with that facial hair
You asked me if I changed my perfume
'Cause you noticed that you smelled something new
Oh what am I to do?
How could I not want you?

Strike a match and light the incense
Yes, I know that it makes no sense
But I'm not here to play those childish games
Can't you feel the fire reigniting
With the moon and the stars as our lighting
You think I'm different, but I still feel the same
Oh, and I can't write another torch song
For an old flame
Old flame

My mom and dad always had good things to say
About the way you treated me back in the day
I never thought I'd see you again
Until I learned that you moved to Brooklyn
Only two miles away
How am I going to behave?

Strike a match and light the incense
Yes, I know that it makes no sense
But I'm not here to play those childish games
Can't you feel the fire reigniting
With the moon and the stars as our lighting
You think I'm different, but I still feel the same
Oh, and I can't write another torch song
For an old flame
Old flame

I remember how we used to flirt
Watching the planes taking off at the airport
I'm not begging you to be my man
I just want you to know you can

So strike a match and light the incense
Yes, I know that it makes no sense
But I'm not here to play those childish games
Can't you feel the fire reigniting
With the moon and the stars as our lighting
You think I'm different, but I still feel seventeen (seventeen)
And I can't write another torch song
For an old flame

Mmmm
Old flame
