The Signature
The Matchup Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Im asking you out, out as a friend
i have my doubts, but i'm taking the chance
i don't know if i can hold it back
a million words are passing by
i'm pretty sure you are used to it
cuz you ain't no ordinary worker
the gloves in your face, thunder and disgrace
i only wanted to show you that you're my kind of girl
the kind that i like, if we'd stick together we'd ride through the night
we'll ride through the night alright
im asking you out, out as a friend
i have my doubts but i'm taking the chance
cuz i think it might be worth it and if i don't try
i might regret it for the rest of my life
leaves are falling, time is flying by
and the day as come to say goodbye
some kind of twist in this masterplan
everything has changed, i'm outta my mind
almost thought you would be mine...
i'm asking you out, out as a friend
i have my doubts but i'm taking the chance
cuz i think it might be worth it and if i don't try




i might regret it for the rest of my life
until the day i die

Overall Meaning

The Matchup's song, The Signature, is a heartfelt plea from the singer to someone they admire. The lyrics express the singer's hesitancy and doubt in asking the person out, but ultimately their desire to take the chance and not let the opportunity pass them by. The singer recognizes the object of their affection as someone extraordinary, using the metaphor of boxing gloves to describe their strength and resilience in facing life's challenges. Despite the uncertainty of what the answer may be, the singer sees the potential for a fulfilling relationship with this person.


The second half of the song takes a somber turn, as the singer realizes that things may not go as planned. The leaves are falling and time seems to be moving too quickly, leading to a sudden and unexpected change in the situation. The master plan that the singer had constructed in their mind falls apart, leaving them feeling out of control and unsure of what to do next. Despite the disappointment and heartache, the singer acknowledges that they did what they could and took the chance, avoiding a potential lifetime of regret.
