Like a Match is an anthem of praise.
This is the first track off of Toby’s new album THIS IS NOT A TEST.
The song is talking about how people need to strike up God’s love for them.
[Intro]
Select a song
One, two, three, four
Woah, yeah-eah-eah
[Verse 1]
I keep hearing people say I need a getaway
We got that getaway that takes 'em to a whole new place
Won't leave us empty, won't leave us craving more
We've found that fulfillin' fire that they've been lookin' for
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
If it's real, we gotta show it
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause if it's not, they sure gonna know it
[Chorus]
You and me, we gotta love
Hold nothing back
You and me, we gotta love
Strike it up like a match
Burnin' for the world, we're burnin' for the world
Burnin' for the world to see
You and me, we gotta love
Strike it up like a match
[Verse 2]
Ever tasted something sweet, knock you off your feet
Or bumped a song all night long, kept it on repeat
I call up all my friends, I gotta let 'em in
I tell 'em, "Take a drink of this and never thirst again"
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
If it's real, we gotta show it
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause if it's not, they sure gonna know it (Know it)
[Chorus]
You and me, we gotta love
Hold nothing back
You and me, we gotta love
Strike it up like a match
Burnin' for the world, we're burnin' for the world
Burnin' for the world to see
You and me, we gotta love
Strike it up like a match
[Bridge]
That's who we are, who we are, oh
That's who we are, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
That's who we are, who we are, oh
That's who we are, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh (Tell 'em, boys)
[Pre-Chorus]
If it's real, we gotta show it
'Cause if it's not, they sure gonna know it, yeah
If it's real, we gotta show it
'Cause if it's not, they sure gonna know it
(They gonna know it)
[Chorus]
You and me, we gotta love (We gotta love)
Hold nothing back
You and me, we gotta love (We gotta love)
Strike it up like a match
Burnin' for the world, we're burnin' for the world
We be burnin' for the world to see
You and me, we gotta love
Strike it up like a match
[Outro]
We gotta lo-o-ove, lo-o-ove, ooh
(Strike it up like a match)
We gotta lo-o-ove, lo-o-ove, ooh
(Strike it up like a match)

To figure the context of that line out, we’d probably have to look at the line before it. I believe the line, “If it’s real, we’ve gotta show it.” refers to the light we have inside, or our faith. “Oh, cause if it’s not, they sure gonna know it.” seems to suggest that people will know us by our acti...
