Discover the story of the song > Match In The Rain Acoustic – Alec Benjamin

The lyrics are about a person who feels that their romantic partner is growing distant. The protagonist senses that there is trouble ahead and fears that their relationship is coming to an end. They compare their situation to trying to light a match in the rain, meaning that it feels impossible to bring back the passion and love they once had. Despite their intuition telling them that it's too late, they still want to make their partner love them again. But in the end, they realize that the conditions of their relationship make it nearly impossible to rekindle the flame. They compare it to futile efforts like flying a kite in a hurricane or riding a bike with no air or chain. In the end, they accept that the relationship is a losing game and that it's time to let go.
