[Verse 1]
Seems you've been changing lately
I can feel the distance in your touch
There's two people in this hallway
But there's only one of us
That's tryna keep this fire going
Should I just give up?
I sense trouble on the horizon
I'm afraid our time is up

[Chorus]
The clouds are rolling in, I feel you drifting away
And though my intuition tells me that it's too late
That in these conditions, tryin' to bring back the flame is like
Tryin' to light a match in the rain
I still want to make you love me, make you love me again
Even though my intuition tells me that it's the end
That in these conditions, tryin' to bring back the flame is like
Tryin' to light a match in the rain

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I can taste it, it's the end
This love's impossible to save
Though you embrace it, I can't face it
So I look the other way
There's trouble in your eyes
But I pretend that we're okay
I wish that we could compromise
But there's just nothin' left to say

[Chorus]
The clouds are rolling in, I feel you drifting away
And though my intuition tells me that it's too late
That in these conditions, tryin' to bring back the flame is like
Tryin' to light a match in the rain
I still want to make you love me, make you love me again
Even though my intuition tells me that it's the end
That in these conditions, tryin' to bring back the flame is like
Tryin' to light a match in the rain

[Bridge]
Tryin' to light a match in the rain
Like flyin' a kite in a hurricane
Like ridin' a bike with no air or chain
On a broken road, it's a losing game
Tryin' to light a match in the rain
Like flyin' a kite in a hurricane
Like ridin' a bike with no air or chain
On a broken road, it's a losing game

[Chorus]
The clouds are rolling in, I feel you drifting away
And though my intuition tells me that it's too late
That in these conditions, tryin' to bring back the flame is like
Tryin' to light a match in the rain
I still want to make you love me, make you love me again
Even though my intuition tells me that it's the end
That in these conditions, tryin' to bring back the flame is like
Tryin' to light a match in the rain

Alec Benjamin

After getting dropped by Columbia Records at 18 years old, singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin built a following by playing in parking lots outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts. The Phoenix, Arizona native caught the attention of Jon Bellion, earning a songwriting credit on Bellion’s debut album and later joined him on tour.

To build on the momentum, Benjamin began uploading new songs to his YouTube channel at a rapid clip and eventually earned on a viral hit with “I Built a Friend” and a deal with Atlantic Records.

Benjamin connects to listeners by incorporating using his life struggles to tell stories and give meaning to his songs. You can see this in “Let Me Down Slowly,” “Paper Crown,” “I Built a Friend,” “Death of a Hero,” and “If We Have Each Other.”
