I've Got a Match Lyrics

Get out of the car
Put down the phone
Take off that stupid looking hat you wear
I'm going to die if you touch me one more time
Well I guess that I'm going to die no matter what

Love people are there
The smell of love is everywhere
You think it's...

    its def a song about a relationship that has taken a turn for the worse. its actually pretty mean when you think of the old insult: "ive got a match, your face and my ass" which is awfully similar to "your embrace and my collapse", which i think must be a euphamism for the same over all point. plus i cant help but catch the pun with the use of the word match. he says "the SMELL of love is everywhere". john is obviously got a bad percpective on love, cus whats a good way to get rid of a bad smell? light a match!
