07 “Who Stole My Lighter”

[Verse 1 – soft, dramatic] Lake Orion night, house packed too tight Music too loud but the vibe felt right Had it in my hand just a minute ago Blue Bic flame with a steady glow Passed it around like we always do Didn’t think twice, I trusted you Turned back quick and it was gone Now I’m standing here like what went wrong [Pre-Chorus – emotional build] Was it something that I said? Did I leave you somewhere instead? [Chorus – dramatic, funny, big] Who stole my lighter? where did it go? Blue Bic flame that I used to know Now it’s sparking someone else’s bowl And I’m out here trying to find my soul Who stole my lighter? don’t play pretend You were in my hand like a trusted friend Now you’re lighting up somewhere unseen Indica, sativa, hybrid in between [Verse 2 – suspicion / humor] Saw you flick once across the room Different hand but I knew that hue Safety gone like I like it best Now you’re living on someone else’s desk Asked around but they just laughed “Check your pockets”—yeah I did that Everybody swears they didn’t see But I know you didn’t leave on your own from me [Pre-Chorus] We were good just minutes before Now I’m checking every drawer [Chorus – bigger, more dramatic] Who stole my lighter? where did it go? Blue Bic flame that I used to know Now it’s sparking someone else’s bowl And I’m out here trying to find my soul Who stole my lighter? don’t play pretend You were in my hand like a trusted friend Now you’re lighting up somewhere unseen Indica, sativa, hybrid in between [Bridge – boy band breakdown] Maybe I should let you go… Maybe you were never mine… But I know that spark was real… Every single time… [Break – quiet, almost spoken] “…it had just the right flick…” “…you don’t replace that…” [Final Chorus – biggest, emotional parody peak] Who stole my lighter? I need to know Blue Bic flame that I can’t let go If you see it out there pass it back to me That’s the one that always lit perfectly Who stole my lighter? don’t play pretend You were in my hand like a trusted friend Now you’re lighting up somewhere unseen Indica, sativa, hybrid in between [Outro – soft, defeated] …check the couch again… …it’s gotta be here somewhere…
