Loving You lyrics - Matt Costa
Loving you's not hard to do
We're always gonna make it through
You've got my attention, here's my affection for you
So bring your green eyes here to me
Swimming in a sea of tears
Oh they cut right through me,
And you were free and clear
Now I'm gonna hold you tight
Sweeter than all of the fruit
Looking down from the hills in this valley
As long as your heart beats you were made for me,
Where the lights are low, and the smoke is thick
Let's go back to how it felt then
So I can say...
Loving you's not hard to do
We're always gonna make it through
You've got my attention, here's my affection for you
I found you in that great big crowd
Your silent screams I heard out loud
Closer, feel it burning, I'm gonna love you in style
And when I hold you tight
Sweeter than all of the fruit
Looking down from the hills in this valley
As long as my heart beats you were made for me,
Where the lights are low, and the smoke is thick
Let's go back to how it felt then
So I can say...
Loving you's not hard to do
We're always gonna make it through
Loving you's not hard
We're always gonna make it through
You've got my attention, here's my affection for you
So bring your green eyes here to me
Swimming in a sea of tears
Oh they cut right through me,
And you were free and clear
Now I'm gonna hold you tight
Sweeter than all of the fruit
Looking down from the hills in this valley
As long as your heart beats you were made for me,
Where the lights are low, and the smoke is thick
Let's go back to how it felt then
So I can say...
Loving you's not hard to do
We're always gonna make it through
You've got my attention, here's my affection for you
I found you in that great big crowd
Your silent screams I heard out loud
Closer, feel it burning, I'm gonna love you in style
And when I hold you tight
Sweeter than all of the fruit
Looking down from the hills in this valley
As long as my heart beats you were made for me,
Where the lights are low, and the smoke is thick
Let's go back to how it felt then
So I can say...
Loving you's not hard to do
We're always gonna make it through
Loving you's not hard
Early November lyrics - Matt Costa
Early November took a drive to the sea
Just to hear the waves crash on the night on the beach
It was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
Hearing them sing
We drank coffee in the morning light
You read the paper and I put my head in my hands, in my hands, in my hands
And cried
Early November just a leaf on a tree
We walk with a fog through the lonely cemetery, -tery, -tery
Lonely cemetery
Early November seems a lifetime away
The words that we spoke like clouds
No they don't seem to stay, seem to stay, seem to stay
Stay in one place
And they don't, and they don't, and they don't
Even mean the same thing
No they don't, no they don't, no they don't...
Just to hear the waves crash on the night on the beach
It was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
Hearing them sing
We drank coffee in the morning light
You read the paper and I put my head in my hands, in my hands, in my hands
And cried
Early November just a leaf on a tree
We walk with a fog through the lonely cemetery, -tery, -tery
Lonely cemetery
Early November seems a lifetime away
The words that we spoke like clouds
No they don't seem to stay, seem to stay, seem to stay
Stay in one place
And they don't, and they don't, and they don't
Even mean the same thing
No they don't, no they don't, no they don't...
Eyes For You lyrics - Matt Costa
Once in a town in a far away place
There's a boy who sits waiting alone
Dreams of your town and the people you're sitting with
All of them with you right now
Oh how you cry... I don't know
Talking 'bout people who talk about you
Still I can't see the truth
I know a boy who'd just love to be talked to
Just eye to eye, seeing blue
And now I do, now I do
Eyes for you, just for you
Eyes for you, just for you
Now there's a home and it's inside my heart
And there we'll never part
I gave it to you and I'll always come through
When you cry, I feel it too,
I feel it too... I do
Eyes for you, just for you
Eyes for you, just for you
Just for you.
There's a boy who sits waiting alone
Dreams of your town and the people you're sitting with
All of them with you right now
Oh how you cry... I don't know
Talking 'bout people who talk about you
Still I can't see the truth
I know a boy who'd just love to be talked to
Just eye to eye, seeing blue
And now I do, now I do
Eyes for you, just for you
Eyes for you, just for you
Now there's a home and it's inside my heart
And there we'll never part
I gave it to you and I'll always come through
When you cry, I feel it too,
I feel it too... I do
Eyes for you, just for you
Eyes for you, just for you
Just for you.
Good Times lyrics - Matt Costa
Baby we're running out of money
Honey we're running out of dough
I'm turning back to the man that I once was
But it was fun to fool them for a while
Finally those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
Good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
Everyone smiles for a sad song
Especially when they're riding high
But right now it's a crying shame
That the good times are coming to an end
Finally those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
All those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
I won't miss those fancy dinners
Won't even miss those fancy clothes
I won't miss that girl I love
I'm just turning back to the man that I once was
Finally those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
All those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
[x2]
Babe we're running out of money
Honey we're running out of dough
Let's slow it all in a fiery bash
And the rest we'll put up into smoke
Finally those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
All those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
All those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
All those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
Good times are coming
Those good times are coming now
Good times are coming
Those good times are coming now
Good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
Good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
All those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
Good times are coming… to an end
Honey we're running out of dough
I'm turning back to the man that I once was
But it was fun to fool them for a while
Finally those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
Good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
Everyone smiles for a sad song
Especially when they're riding high
But right now it's a crying shame
That the good times are coming to an end
Finally those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
All those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
I won't miss those fancy dinners
Won't even miss those fancy clothes
I won't miss that girl I love
I'm just turning back to the man that I once was
Finally those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
All those… good times are coming

Good times are coming… to an end
All those… good times are coming

Good times are coming… to an end
All those… good times are coming
Those good times are coming
Good times are coming… to an end
Good times are coming… to an end
Shotgun lyrics - Matt Costa
I've got a feeling right now but it's so hard to choose
Which way to go and what to do
All the winners I know were just born to lose
Don't know who you can look up to
People walking around, they're just gambling fools
Place your bets and pay off your dues
Some are for peace, some are for war
I just sit and try to ignore it
A new situation will face you at dawn
You can just fake it, who'll say you're wrong?
It's hard to have faith in
(Who's going to say they're not insane?)
When all your role models made it on a shotgun vacation
I tried to find my own way in the books that I read
Found all my favorite authors, they're dead
Sometimes in your life you're gonna walk in a room
Everyone's invited but you
That new situation will face you at dawn
You can just fake it, who'll say you're wrong?
It's hard to have faith in
(Who's going to say they're not insane?)
When all your role models made it on a shotgun vacation
We try, try and we try, and we try
We try, try and we try
And we find a way
[x2]
All the winners I know were just born to lose
Shotgun vacation
Shotgun vacation
Which way to go and what to do
All the winners I know were just born to lose
Don't know who you can look up to
People walking around, they're just gambling fools
Place your bets and pay off your dues
Some are for peace, some are for war
I just sit and try to ignore it
A new situation will face you at dawn
You can just fake it, who'll say you're wrong?
It's hard to have faith in
(Who's going to say they're not insane?)
When all your role models made it on a shotgun vacation
I tried to find my own way in the books that I read
Found all my favorite authors, they're dead
Sometimes in your life you're gonna walk in a room
Everyone's invited but you
That new situation will face you at dawn
You can just fake it, who'll say you're wrong?
It's hard to have faith in
(Who's going to say they're not insane?)
When all your role models made it on a shotgun vacation
We try, try and we try, and we try
We try, try and we try
And we find a way
[x2]
All the winners I know were just born to lose
Shotgun vacation
Shotgun vacation
Clipped Wings lyrics - Matt Costa
She was the rain dancing in puddles
She was trouble
Me, with the games I played was a puzzle
But I loved her, it's true
Now I know what love can do
Once we were young, and lived dangerous
But the rains poured down, they started to change us
We both grew so ancient
Singing in circles around her were golden cherubs of sorrow
I tried to bury them all in the backyard with a shovel
But I only dug myself a hole
Once we were young, and lived dangerous
But the rains poured down, they started to change us
We both grew so ancient
There we were, familiar strangers
When the rains poured down,
Heaven knows why she changed her mind
Or she saved her goodbyes
Over cloudy skies, we tried, with clipped wings, to fly
She was the rain dancing in puddles
She was trouble
Once we were young, and lived dangerous
But the rains poured down, they started to change us
We both grew so ancient
So there we were, familiar strangers
When the rains poured down,
Heaven knows why she changed her mind
Or she saved her goodbyes
Over cloudy skies, we tried, with clipped wings, to fly
She was trouble
Me, with the games I played was a puzzle
But I loved her, it's true
Now I know what love can do
Once we were young, and lived dangerous
But the rains poured down, they started to change us
We both grew so ancient
Singing in circles around her were golden cherubs of sorrow
I tried to bury them all in the backyard with a shovel
But I only dug myself a hole
Once we were young, and lived dangerous
But the rains poured down, they started to change us
We both grew so ancient
There we were, familiar strangers
When the rains poured down,
Heaven knows why she changed her mind
Or she saved her goodbyes
Over cloudy skies, we tried, with clipped wings, to fly
She was the rain dancing in puddles
She was trouble
Once we were young, and lived dangerous
But the rains poured down, they started to change us
We both grew so ancient
So there we were, familiar strangers
When the rains poured down,
Heaven knows why she changed her mind
Or she saved her goodbyes
Over cloudy skies, we tried, with clipped wings, to fly
Laura Lee lyrics - Matt Costa
Laura Lee, Laura Lee,
Sits under the chestnut tree.
Laura Lee, Laura Lee,
Whispers every word she speaks.
Dark braided hair, Laura Lee.
Laura Lee, Laura Lee,
An orphan in the hands of faith.
Laura Lee, Laura Lee,
Take this cloak and walk with me.
Cover your feathers, Laura Lee.
Laura Lee, Laura Lee,
I loved her and I set her free.
Laura Lee, Laura Lee,
If you see her tell her hello for me.
I think on her often, Laura Lee.
Silver Sea lyrics - Matt Costa
Build build a ship for two
In the waves she'll get tossed
In a wooden ship for two
Silver sea we were lost
Lost, lost, lost
Sturdy sails can't pull us through
They were shredded and torn
Struck the great whale with my harpoon
Drugged us way off our course
There are the strangest creatures
Wading just on the shores
Some walk on the longest legs
On the deep ocean floss
Build build a ship for two
In the waves she'll get tossed
In a wooden ship for two
Silver sea we were lost
Lost, lost, lost
Where are the birds?
Where are the fish?
What land have I come to?
Where is my boat and where is my love?
What has fate brought us to?
Build build a ship for two
In the waves she'll get tossed
In a wooden ship for two
Silver sea we were lost
Lost, lost, lost
In the waves she'll get tossed
In a wooden ship for two
Silver sea we were lost
Lost, lost, lost
Sturdy sails can't pull us through
They were shredded and torn
Struck the great whale with my harpoon
Drugged us way off our course
There are the strangest creatures
Wading just on the shores
Some walk on the longest legs
On the deep ocean floss
Build build a ship for two
In the waves she'll get tossed
In a wooden ship for two
Silver sea we were lost
Lost, lost, lost
Where are the birds?
Where are the fish?
What land have I come to?
Where is my boat and where is my love?
What has fate brought us to?
Build build a ship for two
In the waves she'll get tossed
In a wooden ship for two
Silver sea we were lost
Lost, lost, lost
Ophelia lyrics - Matt Costa
Strangers crash into the night
This train's headed for you babe
One last song plays on the radio
The sun burns the night away
In the morning I only wanna see your fear's face
I'm not asking to keep you more or longer than you wanna stay
The night was like a deck of cards, you hit me with the ace of clubs
I'm placing all my bets begging you to deal some love
Ophelia come on
Rows and rows of corn grow high
Over the tall grass we could hide
Honest pages of an open book
We tangled up between the lines
That's where you'll find me, dying to fill your empty time
Ophelia come on
I'll bring you gems from faraway lands
Or Italian leather shoes
You're the finest thing I've ever seen
Like fire melts ice, it's true
Ophelia, can I spend the night with you?
Ophelia come on
This train's headed for you babe
One last song plays on the radio
The sun burns the night away
In the morning I only wanna see your fear's face
I'm not asking to keep you more or longer than you wanna stay
The night was like a deck of cards, you hit me with the ace of clubs
I'm placing all my bets begging you to deal some love
Ophelia come on
Rows and rows of corn grow high
Over the tall grass we could hide
Honest pages of an open book
We tangled up between the lines
That's where you'll find me, dying to fill your empty time
Ophelia come on
I'll bring you gems from faraway lands
Or Italian leather shoes
You're the finest thing I've ever seen
Like fire melts ice, it's true
Ophelia, can I spend the night with you?
Ophelia come on
Golden Cathedrals lyrics - Matt Costa
We all know that feeling
When phantoms and shadows make reality dreary
But don't let them conquer you
Don't let them shatter you
Some say when you disappear, there's a golden cathedral there
And all the choir children sing your name
And they glue you back together again
We all know that feeling
When someone gets you wrong
And they don't know you from Adam
We've all judged and been judged on
Some will lend a hand and your world falls off their table
And your body gives in
But don't let them conquer you
Don't let them shatter you
Some say when you disappear, there's a golden cathedral there
And all the choir children sing your name
And they glue you back together again
So don't let them conquer you
Don't let them shatter you
Don't let them conquer you
Don't let them shatter you
Some say when you disappear, there's a golden cathedral there
And all the choir children sing your name.
When phantoms and shadows make reality dreary
But don't let them conquer you
Don't let them shatter you
Some say when you disappear, there's a golden cathedral there
And all the choir children sing your name
And they glue you back together again
We all know that feeling
When someone gets you wrong
And they don't know you from Adam
We've all judged and been judged on
Some will lend a hand and your world falls off their table
And your body gives in
But don't let them conquer you
Don't let them shatter you
Some say when you disappear, there's a golden cathedral there
And all the choir children sing your name
And they glue you back together again
So don't let them conquer you
Don't let them shatter you
Don't let them conquer you
Don't let them shatter you
Some say when you disappear, there's a golden cathedral there
And all the choir children sing your name.
The Season lyrics - Matt Costa
I've got a perfect picture stuck in my mind
Oh I was falling crooked over the hands of time
I don't know what to do with this burning love inside
It's like we never met: she's so cold and unkind
This is the season when everybody's leaving
So go on
And break my heart
Yeah, go on
And break my heart
Yeah, go on
(And break my heart)
This ain't the crush that I've been waiting for
I saw my baby at my friend's back door
I don't know what to do with this crazy love of mine
They said she'd never leave, but I watched her walk away
This is the season when everybody's leaving
So go on
And break my heart
Yeah, go on
And break my heart
Yeah, go on
She won't be yours
(She won't be yours)
And you won't be hers
(You won't be hers)
She's the kind of bird you find every day
You can fool yourself or fly the other way
This is the season when
This is the season when everybody's leaving
You push into the great unknown
Without the strangers who were lost on their own
This is the season when everybody's leaving
This is the season when everybody's leaving
This is the season when everybody's leaving
So go on
And break my heart
Yeah, go on
And break my heart
Yeah, go on
Oh I was falling crooked over the hands of time
I don't know what to do with this burning love inside
It's like we never met: she's so cold and unkind
This is the season when everybody's leaving
So go on
And break my heart
Yeah, go on
And break my heart
Yeah, go on
(And break my heart)
This ain't the crush that I've been waiting for
I saw my baby at my friend's back door
I don't know what to do with this crazy love of mine
They said she'd never leave, but I watched her walk away
This is the season when everybody's leaving
So go on
And break my heart
Yeah, go on
And break my heart
Yeah, go on
She won't be yours
(She won't be yours)
And you won't be hers
(You won't be hers)
She's the kind of bird you find every day
You can fool yourself or fly the other way
This is the season when
This is the season when everybody's leaving
You push into the great unknown
Without the strangers who were lost on their own
This is the season when everybody's leaving
This is the season when everybody's leaving
This is the season when everybody's leaving
So go on
And break my heart
Yeah, go on
And break my heart
Yeah, go on
Johnny's Love Of Majik lyrics - Matt Costa
Johnny was a good boy and Johnny was my friend
But Johnny had a love for majik that just wouldn't end
No, it just wouldn't end
Johnny saw a white owl fly over his head
And Johnny's sister saw the same thing and now she's dead
And now she's dead
She put her hands over her eyes and stared into the sun
And when it burned through all her fingers
Johnny's soap box car race was done
Maggie was a good girl and she was Johnny's friend
But Maggie had a love for tragedies that just wouldn't end
No, it just wouldn't end
She put here hands over her eyes and stared into the sun
Johnny was a good boy and Johnny was my friend
But Johnny had a love for majik that just wouldn't end
It just wouldn't end
But Johnny had a love for majik that just wouldn't end
No, it just wouldn't end
Johnny saw a white owl fly over his head
And Johnny's sister saw the same thing and now she's dead
And now she's dead
She put her hands over her eyes and stared into the sun
And when it burned through all her fingers
Johnny's soap box car race was done
Maggie was a good girl and she was Johnny's friend
But Maggie had a love for tragedies that just wouldn't end
No, it just wouldn't end
She put here hands over her eyes and stared into the sun
Johnny was a good boy and Johnny was my friend
But Johnny had a love for majik that just wouldn't end
It just wouldn't end
Drive lyrics - Matt Costa
Baby ask your man if he would let you come along with me
Or would he like that
Tell him I won't keep you long
As soon as our good times are gone I'll bring you right back
We'll drive to the sea
And watch the sun come up over the hills and trees
Be as good as I can be
Try not to get your clothes too sandy
So baby ask your man to please define the words he screams
Across the phone each time I call you
Tell him I won't do a single thing he wouldn't do to you
Except not own you
We'll drive to the sea
And watch the sun come up over the hills and trees
Be as good as I can be
Try not to get your clothes too sandy
I don't want to, I don't want to take his place
I just want to
We'll drive to the sea
And watch the sun come up
We'll drive to the sea
And watch the sun come up over the hills
And we'll drive to the sea
We'll drive to the sea
And watch the sun come up over the hills and trees
And we'll drive to the sea
And watch the sun come up over the hills and trees
Or would he like that
Tell him I won't keep you long
As soon as our good times are gone I'll bring you right back
We'll drive to the sea
And watch the sun come up over the hills and trees
Be as good as I can be
Try not to get your clothes too sandy
So baby ask your man to please define the words he screams
Across the phone each time I call you
Tell him I won't do a single thing he wouldn't do to you
Except not own you
We'll drive to the sea
And watch the sun come up over the hills and trees
Be as good as I can be
Try not to get your clothes too sandy
I don't want to, I don't want to take his place
I just want to
We'll drive to the sea
And watch the sun come up
We'll drive to the sea
And watch the sun come up over the hills
And we'll drive to the sea
We'll drive to the sea
And watch the sun come up over the hills and trees
And we'll drive to the sea
And watch the sun come up over the hills and trees
Mobile Chateau lyrics - Matt Costa
Far away is the moon
Shining down in her room
Found you tripping on the stars
Making mobiles out of parts
That you found lying on the ground, hark the birds are singing
We've been lost and found
Far away is the sun
Winter you will come
With your lily white hands
Making crafts out of plants
Found you weeping in the snow, hark the bells are ringing
I won't let you go
And with the trees we will sway
The sky and geese
We ought to stay this way
Found you weeping in the snow, hark the bells are ringing
I won't let you go
Shining down in her room
Found you tripping on the stars
Making mobiles out of parts
That you found lying on the ground, hark the birds are singing
We've been lost and found
Far away is the sun
Winter you will come
With your lily white hands
Making crafts out of plants
Found you weeping in the snow, hark the bells are ringing
I won't let you go
And with the trees we will sway
The sky and geese
We ought to stay this way
Found you weeping in the snow, hark the bells are ringing
I won't let you go
Can You Tell Me lyrics - Matt Costa
Can you tell me what I need to know
To paint a picture like Picasso?
Can you give me the tool that's right
And make a masterpiece of my life?
Make one simple and make one grand
One Michelangelo and one Cezanne
Frame the strangeness inside your mind
Open the curtains, open them wide
Chaos will turn into grace, brush my eyes
With colors shapes and lines changing frame of mind
So can you tell me what I need to know
To paint a picture like Picasso?
Can you give me the tool that's right
And make a masterpiece of my life?
That's what I need
That's what I need
That's what I need

Idol lyrics - Matt Costa
Come get what you deserve
Rolled up in your shirt
Yellow's blowin' heat
Purple takes a seat
So carry it slow
To the rattle of your rhythm and bones
As the rising slope
Pays you back, you will know
You are not an idol
You will soon find out what you've become
Washing out what's yours and mine
You're a part of a larger life line
See what you see not what you want to
See what you see not what you want to
You are not an idol
You will soon find out what you've become
You are not an idol
You will soon find out what you've become
You are not an idol
You will soon find out what you've become
Rolled up in your shirt
Yellow's blowin' heat
Purple takes a seat
So carry it slow
To the rattle of your rhythm and bones
As the rising slope
Pays you back, you will know
You are not an idol
You will soon find out what you've become
Washing out what's yours and mine
You're a part of a larger life line
See what you see not what you want to
See what you see not what you want to
You are not an idol
You will soon find out what you've become
You are not an idol
You will soon find out what you've become
You are not an idol
You will soon find out what you've become
Witchcraft lyrics - Matt Costa
You put a spell on me girl
Some kind of southern breeze, and I know what it means
I'm not a superstitious man
But you're calling me back after being with him
You got me feeling strange
Pins and pains that I cannot explain
I can't explain
You must be using witchcraft
I met her Monday morning, by Monday evening I had found
She had a reputation, Miss Fiery hair is gonna put you down
She's got me saying something I never thought that I'd be saying again
And I can't explain
'Cause you're the dark black cat that crosses my path
And you're the mystic train that rolls off the track
It must be witchcraft for you to do someone like that
It must be witchcraft for you to do someone like that
You got me feeling strange
Pins and pains that I cannot explain
You got me saying something I never thought that I'd be saying again
And I can't explain, you must be using witchcraft
Some kind of southern breeze, and I know what it means
I'm not a superstitious man
But you're calling me back after being with him
You got me feeling strange
Pins and pains that I cannot explain
I can't explain
You must be using witchcraft
I met her Monday morning, by Monday evening I had found
She had a reputation, Miss Fiery hair is gonna put you down
She's got me saying something I never thought that I'd be saying again
And I can't explain
'Cause you're the dark black cat that crosses my path
And you're the mystic train that rolls off the track
It must be witchcraft for you to do someone like that
It must be witchcraft for you to do someone like that
You got me feeling strange
Pins and pains that I cannot explain
You got me saying something I never thought that I'd be saying again
And I can't explain, you must be using witchcraft
Painted Face lyrics - Matt Costa
Acrobatic women dancing
Dressed up horses, hands clapping
Violins with beating big drums
Through comic curtains he runs
People laugh at his painted face
His cartwheels leave people amazed
Walking with the other clowns he paints his skin to face the day
No one knows just what they're thinking, smiles and frowns crumble away
There are two sides to a painted face
One side's real and one side's fake
One cup to spill and one cup to taste
One life to live and one life to waste
One jump to fall and one saving grace
One's a brick wall and one's the road paved
Fire breather, tarot reader
Lion and maestro pack up and drive
Over hills with icy peaks
The painted boy was left behind
Far behind is the painted face
But one side leaves and one side waits
Dressed up horses, hands clapping
Violins with beating big drums
Through comic curtains he runs
People laugh at his painted face
His cartwheels leave people amazed
Walking with the other clowns he paints his skin to face the day
No one knows just what they're thinking, smiles and frowns crumble away
There are two sides to a painted face
One side's real and one side's fake
One cup to spill and one cup to taste
One life to live and one life to waste
One jump to fall and one saving grace
One's a brick wall and one's the road paved
Fire breather, tarot reader
Lion and maestro pack up and drive
Over hills with icy peaks
The painted boy was left behind
Far behind is the painted face
But one side leaves and one side waits
Bleeding Hearts lyrics - Matt Costa
There's just one thing
There's just one thing
That'll torture your soul, the grass will stain your clothes
Until the bleeding heart hands you a rose
It's a long, long ways
It's a long long ways
Four letter words can cause you so much pain
It's a long long ways
They're coming soon to take away
But you can't wait another day
The loneliest and lonelier, well he'll get his and she'll get hers
How long must I wait? How long can we wait?
The good's all gone bad, now the villains stole the hand
And you hide in corners starving for a chance
There's just one thing
There's just one thing
That'll torture your soul and the grass will stain your clothes
Until the bleeding heart hands you a rose
'Til the bleeding heart hands you a rose
'Til the bleeding heart hands you a rose
'Til the bleeding heart hands you a rose
There's just one thing
That'll torture your soul, the grass will stain your clothes
Until the bleeding heart hands you a rose
It's a long, long ways
It's a long long ways
Four letter words can cause you so much pain
It's a long long ways
They're coming soon to take away
But you can't wait another day
The loneliest and lonelier, well he'll get his and she'll get hers
How long must I wait? How long can we wait?
The good's all gone bad, now the villains stole the hand
And you hide in corners starving for a chance
There's just one thing
There's just one thing
That'll torture your soul and the grass will stain your clothes
Until the bleeding heart hands you a rose
'Til the bleeding heart hands you a rose
'Til the bleeding heart hands you a rose
'Til the bleeding heart hands you a rose
Secret lyrics - Matt Costa
Treat it like a secret, keep it between us
Until we get too tired of holding on
The truth may try to seek it
Keep it, keep it, little secret
I can try to hide you
Disguise you and remind you to stay inside your little room
Deep down inside my pocket
The key that locks the locket to you, secret
So won't you say, your secret is safe
And won't you stay here with me today
My little secret
My little secret
A sound for your ears only, so don't tell anybody
A sight for only you to see
Well she's my little secret
Keep it, keep it, little secret
My little secret
My little secret
My little secret
Until we get too tired of holding on
The truth may try to seek it
Keep it, keep it, little secret
I can try to hide you
Disguise you and remind you to stay inside your little room
Deep down inside my pocket
The key that locks the locket to you, secret
So won't you say, your secret is safe
And won't you stay here with me today
My little secret
My little secret
A sound for your ears only, so don't tell anybody
A sight for only you to see
Well she's my little secret
Keep it, keep it, little secret
My little secret
My little secret
My little secret
Strings Of Change lyrics - Matt Costa
Some live off the land
Some grow tired of the old gas lamp
And some turn to strangers along the way
Some holy tramp on a desert plain
Some pour a drink and drown
Some long haired innocent swarms the crowd
Some give birth to their mother's fiends
I'm staring at the strings of change
And some throw religion away
Some clip the nails of the hands that pay
Some will give to get in return
Strangled sex with their egos
Some pour a drink and drown
Some long haired innocent swarms the crowd
Some give birth to their mother's fiends
I'm staring at the strings of change
I'm staring at the strings of change
Staring at the strings of change
Some grow tired of the old gas lamp
And some turn to strangers along the way
Some holy tramp on a desert plain
Some pour a drink and drown
Some long haired innocent swarms the crowd
Some give birth to their mother's fiends
I'm staring at the strings of change
And some throw religion away
Some clip the nails of the hands that pay
Some will give to get in return
Strangled sex with their egos
Some pour a drink and drown
Some long haired innocent swarms the crowd
Some give birth to their mother's fiends
I'm staring at the strings of change
I'm staring at the strings of change
Staring at the strings of change
Next Time lyrics - Matt Costa
Painted black all my windows
Faded like a quill in this old room
I held you once but was unable
Well you could not be bound by any stable
So run, run, run
Run, run, run
But next time I'll try, I'll try to hold on
This time I'm gonna try, I'll try to hold on
Some say it's foolish to keep waiting
But I'll stop loving her when I stop dreaming
Now if you find someone who says they love you
Never let them let go of that feeling
Oh, run, run, run
Run, run, run
For this time I'm gonna try, I'll try to hold on
This time I'm gonna try to hold on
Faded like a quill in this old room
I held you once but was unable
Well you could not be bound by any stable
So run, run, run
Run, run, run
But next time I'll try, I'll try to hold on
This time I'm gonna try, I'll try to hold on
Some say it's foolish to keep waiting
But I'll stop loving her when I stop dreaming
Now if you find someone who says they love you
Never let them let go of that feeling
Oh, run, run, run
Run, run, run
For this time I'm gonna try, I'll try to hold on
This time I'm gonna try to hold on
Mr. Pitiful lyrics - Matt Costa
Oh Mr. Pit, oh Mr. Pit, Mr. Pitiful
Who let you down?
Who let you down?
Who let you down?
You still don't believe, you don't believe
You don't believe, and your grievances show
When your soapbox unfolds
But please come down from that cloud you're sitting on
I don't expect you to admit that you were wrong
I just want to know how you've been
It don't make me feel bad that we're still friends
Mulling it all over in my head
I hope that you see through your picket
I hope that you see through your big yard and white picket fence
To make amends
And still be friends, still be my friend
So where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go while I was out?
While I was out? While I was out?
Well I don't believe, I don't believe
I don't believe everything I see
And if you don't like the movie then quit acting
But please come down from that cloud you're sitting on
I don't expect you to admit that you were wrong
I just want to know how you've been
It don't make me feel bad that we're still friends
Mulling it all over in my head
I hope that you see through your picket
I hope that you see through your big yard and white picket fence
To make amends
And still be friends, still be friends
Still be my friend
Who let you down?
Who let you down?
Who let you down?
You still don't believe, you don't believe
You don't believe, and your grievances show
When your soapbox unfolds
But please come down from that cloud you're sitting on
I don't expect you to admit that you were wrong
I just want to know how you've been
It don't make me feel bad that we're still friends
Mulling it all over in my head
I hope that you see through your picket
I hope that you see through your big yard and white picket fence
To make amends
And still be friends, still be my friend
So where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go while I was out?
While I was out? While I was out?
Well I don't believe, I don't believe
I don't believe everything I see
And if you don't like the movie then quit acting
But please come down from that cloud you're sitting on
I don't expect you to admit that you were wrong
I just want to know how you've been
It don't make me feel bad that we're still friends
Mulling it all over in my head
I hope that you see through your picket
I hope that you see through your big yard and white picket fence
To make amends
And still be friends, still be friends
Still be my friend
Lilacs lyrics - Matt Costa
You were right, I was up all night
Thinking about you
Dreamed I choked on your kaleidoscope
Now you still look deadly
My fatal flower how the tigers all laughed
As I ran along the well worn paths
Sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs
Down on me, down on me, down on
Insincere as we rolled for years in turning barrels
I washed my hands in the lake
As you blew it all away with roman candles
So take your fever, let me wallow alone
The callus on your eyes have grown
Sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs
Down on me, down on me, down on
And your faults have me stoned
Paying rent to your ghost
Torn up by a frightened little girl
I thought that you were right
So I was up all night thinking about you
I thought that you were right, you were right
You were right, you were
You were right, and I was up all night
Thinking about you
And I couldn't speak
Covered with bees you flew above me
Figured it all out, I think you've had enough time
I've had long enough to change my mind
And a sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs
Down on me, down on me, down on
And your faults have me stone
Paying rent to your ghost
Torn up by a frightened little girl
I thought that you were right
And I was up all night thinking about you
You were right, so I was up all night
Thinking about you
I thought you were right, you were right
You were right, you were
Thinking about you
Dreamed I choked on your kaleidoscope
Now you still look deadly
My fatal flower how the tigers all laughed
As I ran along the well worn paths
Sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs
Down on me, down on me, down on
Insincere as we rolled for years in turning barrels
I washed my hands in the lake
As you blew it all away with roman candles
So take your fever, let me wallow alone
The callus on your eyes have grown
Sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs
Down on me, down on me, down on
And your faults have me stoned
Paying rent to your ghost
Torn up by a frightened little girl
I thought that you were right
So I was up all night thinking about you
I thought that you were right, you were right
You were right, you were
You were right, and I was up all night
Thinking about you
And I couldn't speak
Covered with bees you flew above me
Figured it all out, I think you've had enough time
I've had long enough to change my mind
And a sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs
Down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs
Down on me, down on me, down on
And your faults have me stone
Paying rent to your ghost
Torn up by a frightened little girl
I thought that you were right
And I was up all night thinking about you
You were right, so I was up all night
Thinking about you
I thought you were right, you were right
You were right, you were
Never Looking Back lyrics - Matt Costa
Burnt trees on a snowy pass
All my friends are far behind
I'm stuck with you tonight
But I'd be better alone
So come on wheels take me far away
Where I don't have debts to pay
I can't count on yesterday to find the way home
I know it happens all the time
But they don't have my back
So I'm never looking back
Plumes of smoke rise high above
Burned bridges lost in luck
I guess it's all because
They're found on the fault
On sandy ground
Foundations can't be found
And all the stones of change were thrown in my face
I know it happens all the time
I heard them talk behind my back
So I'm never looking back
I know it happens all the time
I heard them talk behind my back
So I'm never looking back
All my friends are far behind
I'm stuck with you tonight
But I'd be better alone
So come on wheels take me far away
Where I don't have debts to pay
I can't count on yesterday to find the way home
I know it happens all the time
But they don't have my back
So I'm never looking back
Plumes of smoke rise high above
Burned bridges lost in luck
I guess it's all because
They're found on the fault
On sandy ground
Foundations can't be found
And all the stones of change were thrown in my face
I know it happens all the time
I heard them talk behind my back
So I'm never looking back
I know it happens all the time
I heard them talk behind my back
So I'm never looking back
Emergency Call lyrics - Matt Costa
Skin's turning green, eyes are turning yellow
The Doctor stays rich because I'm a sickly fellow
Got the hypochondriac blues
I need your medicine to soothe
Creams and pills they've got nothing on you
Well call me the Doctor and give me the cure
Easily obsess on an open sore
Doctor, Doctor, can't get no relief
This losing sleep is misery
Won't you come and rescue me?
Doctor, Doctor
Spent the last week in my bed started feeling symptoms
My psychiatrist fills me up with a new prescription
Tell me where I went wrong
It felt too good for too long
Honey you got the remedy for me
Well Doctor Doctor can't get no relief
And this losing sleep is misery
Well call me the Doctor and give me the cure
Easily obsess on an open sore
I don't want to be sick no more
Doctor, Doctor
My heart's made of glass, mama don't you break it
I knew that I made a mistake when I let you take it
Now this pain is only for you
I need your medicine to soothe
Creams and pills they've got nothing on you
Well call me the Doctor and give me the cure
But come back mama I'm feeling withdrawal
Please take my emergency call
How long must I wait held up in depression?
I tried to erase my past, to make a good impression
But my broken horn's lost the tune
And only shattered mirrors fill my room
Fell for you and only got me down
Well Doctor Doctor come give me the cure
Easily obsess on an open sore
Doctor Doctor can't get no relief
This losing sleep is misery
Won't you come and rescue me?
Doctor, Doctor
The Doctor stays rich because I'm a sickly fellow
Got the hypochondriac blues
I need your medicine to soothe
Creams and pills they've got nothing on you
Well call me the Doctor and give me the cure
Easily obsess on an open sore
Doctor, Doctor, can't get no relief
This losing sleep is misery
Won't you come and rescue me?

Spent the last week in my bed started feeling symptoms
My psychiatrist fills me up with a new prescription
Tell me where I went wrong
It felt too good for too long
Honey you got the remedy for me
Well Doctor Doctor can't get no relief
And this losing sleep is misery
Well call me the Doctor and give me the cure
Easily obsess on an open sore
I don't want to be sick no more

My heart's made of glass, mama don't you break it
I knew that I made a mistake when I let you take it
Now this pain is only for you
I need your medicine to soothe

Well call me the Doctor and give me the cure
But come back mama I'm feeling withdrawal
Please take my emergency call

Vienna lyrics - Matt Costa
Vienna can you hear me lazing on the afternoon?
Cathedral bells are ringing a sound
Winter can't ignore her
Spring'll bring her back with blossoms
Summer bring her back to me now
Bring her to me
Shoulder to shoulder, be back in a month I told her
Wishing wells I wish her with me
Vienna was machs du
I'm running through the streets of Zurich
Calling all the trains in Europe to bring her to me
Anything I got to do now
Anything I got to do to be...
Back with happy Mondays
Sleeping in on Sundays
Just to bring her to me
Vienna can you hear me lazing on the afternoon?
Cathedral bells are ringing a sound
Winter can't ignore her
Spring'll bring her back with blossoms
Summer bring her back to me now
Bring her to me
Anything I got to do now
Anything I got to do to be...
Back with happy Mondays
Sleeping in on Sundays
Just to bring her to me
Cathedral bells are ringing a sound
Winter can't ignore her
Spring'll bring her back with blossoms
Summer bring her back to me now
Bring her to me
Shoulder to shoulder, be back in a month I told her
Wishing wells I wish her with me
Vienna was machs du
I'm running through the streets of Zurich
Calling all the trains in Europe to bring her to me
Anything I got to do now
Anything I got to do to be...
Back with happy Mondays
Sleeping in on Sundays
Just to bring her to me
Vienna can you hear me lazing on the afternoon?
Cathedral bells are ringing a sound
Winter can't ignore her
Spring'll bring her back with blossoms
Summer bring her back to me now
Bring her to me
Anything I got to do now
Anything I got to do to be...
Back with happy Mondays
Sleeping in on Sundays
Just to bring her to me
Unfamiliar Faces lyrics - Matt Costa
Your surprises wear disguises
All of your truths masquerade around on Hallow's Eve
So I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces
So impressed by you undressing
Did you take his hand aside from love?
The truth would break me in two
I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces
This is the voice that's scared to hear those names
So this is the void we'll leave a hole in space
I'll take it kindly if you'd blind me
Holding inside the thoughts I have inquisitively wondering
I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces
But this is the voice that's scared to hear those names
So this is the void we'll leave a hole in space
I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces
All of your truths masquerade around on Hallow's Eve
So I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces
So impressed by you undressing
Did you take his hand aside from love?
The truth would break me in two
I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces
This is the voice that's scared to hear those names
So this is the void we'll leave a hole in space
I'll take it kindly if you'd blind me
Holding inside the thoughts I have inquisitively wondering
I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces
But this is the voice that's scared to hear those names
So this is the void we'll leave a hole in space
I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces
Cigarette Eyes lyrics - Matt Costa
I've heard the story, I'm sure he held you down
Forced you to do things while I'm not around
But you lied, yeah you lied
But I've got cigarette eyes
Feel uneasy, I think of you less
My mind is so restless and I'm feeling depressed
Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy
You lie, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes
Out in the country I'm sure no one could tell
You held a victim under your spell
So go hide, well go hide
But I've got cigarette eyes
I feel uneasy, I think of you less
My mind is so restless and I'm feeling obsessed
Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy
You lied, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes
So you've got yourself a bright young girl
One who lies with you in bed
When she tells you that she likes the weather
Don't believe a word that she says no more
Out in the country I'm sure no one could tell
You held a victim under your spell
So go hide, well go hide
But I've got cigarette eyes
I feel uneasy, I think of you less
My mind is so restless and I'm feeling depressed
Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy
You lied, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes
Forced you to do things while I'm not around
But you lied, yeah you lied
But I've got cigarette eyes
Feel uneasy, I think of you less
My mind is so restless and I'm feeling depressed
Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy
You lie, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes
Out in the country I'm sure no one could tell
You held a victim under your spell
So go hide, well go hide
But I've got cigarette eyes
I feel uneasy, I think of you less
My mind is so restless and I'm feeling obsessed
Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy
You lied, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes
So you've got yourself a bright young girl
One who lies with you in bed
When she tells you that she likes the weather
Don't believe a word that she says no more
Out in the country I'm sure no one could tell
You held a victim under your spell
So go hide, well go hide
But I've got cigarette eyes
I feel uneasy, I think of you less
My mind is so restless and I'm feeling depressed
Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy
You lied, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes
Downfall lyrics - Matt Costa
If I wait long enough someone might come out
If I tried I could be somebody else
So I follow false prophets walking down my street
To keep, keep me busy so soundly I sleep
But it's all in the downfall of me, all in the downfall
Don't bury my feet so I can't run
I'll be your martyr in bells
Well I've walked in your steps and held my breath
Until your words reached the air
Then I lied with the poets face first in the street
When the world cast it's shadow I became it's sheep
But it's all in the downfall of me, all in the downfall
So I follow false prophets walking down my street
To keep, keep me busy so soundly I sleep
I lied with the poets face first in the street
When the world cast it's shadow I became it's sheep
But it's all been the downfall, it's all been the downfall
It's all been the downfall of me
All in the downfall
If I tried I could be somebody else
So I follow false prophets walking down my street
To keep, keep me busy so soundly I sleep
But it's all in the downfall of me, all in the downfall
Don't bury my feet so I can't run
I'll be your martyr in bells
Well I've walked in your steps and held my breath
Until your words reached the air
Then I lied with the poets face first in the street
When the world cast it's shadow I became it's sheep
But it's all in the downfall of me, all in the downfall
So I follow false prophets walking down my street
To keep, keep me busy so soundly I sleep
I lied with the poets face first in the street
When the world cast it's shadow I became it's sheep
But it's all been the downfall, it's all been the downfall
It's all been the downfall of me
All in the downfall
Trying To Lose My Mind lyrics - Matt Costa
I talk with my friend over the phone,
I'm scared to say things I don't know and be wrong,
And words always sound much better coming out of someone else
But put it in a song and know that we can get along
I'm trying to lose, lose my mind
When it's gone I'll tell you where it went
About the extent of it's stay
Strum a few chords and use my voice
And make this song with the hopes that you'd play along, along
[whistling]
And look at the ones before me
Some say I waste my time
But normal life seems so boring,
So trying to lose my mind
Well I met a girl,
She didnt like my song
She told me that old songs are better
She played me her favorite records
This is how I repayed her
I said it's okay to some but I hope that you can sing alone alone
And look at the ones before me
Some say I waste my time
But normal life seems so boring so im trying to lose my mind.
I'm scared to say things I don't know and be wrong,
And words always sound much better coming out of someone else
But put it in a song and know that we can get along
I'm trying to lose, lose my mind
When it's gone I'll tell you where it went
About the extent of it's stay
Strum a few chords and use my voice
And make this song with the hopes that you'd play along, along
[whistling]
And look at the ones before me
Some say I waste my time
But normal life seems so boring,
So trying to lose my mind
Well I met a girl,
She didnt like my song
She told me that old songs are better
She played me her favorite records
This is how I repayed her
I said it's okay to some but I hope that you can sing alone alone
And look at the ones before me
Some say I waste my time
But normal life seems so boring so im trying to lose my mind.
Bound lyrics - Matt Costa
Behind the mountains where the Cuckoo sings
They tried to mine a miner for his golden veins
But a guy gets lonely and a guy gets sick
Evil woman you're bound to make a mess of it
She laid me down in her golden sheets
Lord save me, Lord I was knee deep
Well a hundred soldiers and a thousand men
Couldn't drag me down but I'm back on my knees again
Wanna leave, wanna go
That woman is a devil yes I know
But i know more than you think I do
You got a hole in your face where I can see through you
Well holy me, you've got devils in your sleeves
With the bull in your court you're bound
To make a mess of me
Wanna leave, wanna go
That woman is a devil yes I know
They tried to mine a miner for his golden veins
But a guy gets lonely and a guy gets sick
Evil woman you're bound to make a mess of it
She laid me down in her golden sheets
Lord save me, Lord I was knee deep
Well a hundred soldiers and a thousand men
Couldn't drag me down but I'm back on my knees again
Wanna leave, wanna go
That woman is a devil yes I know
But i know more than you think I do
You got a hole in your face where I can see through you
Well holy me, you've got devils in your sleeves
With the bull in your court you're bound
To make a mess of me
Wanna leave, wanna go
That woman is a devil yes I know
Heart Of Stone lyrics - Matt Costa
I must confess this blood in my chest
I've made a great mistake so cruel
One, two, three there's an owl on me
I'm searching for the way it used to be
Why don't you give yourself to me, I
I've got a deal for you
But Ph yes I've a lot to confess,
Drowning far away from home
Tied to a heart of stone
Darling my days are so bleak
Pretending that you're still alive,
Lonely nights, this mariner cries
He's drowning in desperate tides, because
This solitary mindset has left me cursed in fame
But oh death I would give my last breath
Drowning far away from home
My sinking heart of stone
Oh death can I breathe my last breath
Yes yes I'd like to confess
Because this solitary mindset has left me cursed with fate
But oh death
Can't breathe my last breath
Drowning far away from home
Stuck with my heart of stone
I've made a great mistake so cruel
One, two, three there's an owl on me
I'm searching for the way it used to be
Why don't you give yourself to me, I
I've got a deal for you
But Ph yes I've a lot to confess,
Drowning far away from home
Tied to a heart of stone
Darling my days are so bleak
Pretending that you're still alive,
Lonely nights, this mariner cries
He's drowning in desperate tides, because
This solitary mindset has left me cursed in fame
But oh death I would give my last breath
Drowning far away from home
My sinking heart of stone
Oh death can I breathe my last breath
Yes yes I'd like to confess
Because this solitary mindset has left me cursed with fate
But oh death
Can't breathe my last breath
Drowning far away from home
Stuck with my heart of stone
Miss Magnolia lyrics - Matt Costa
Well Miss Magnolia
You just can't keep, keep me to yourself
You know I've been here way to long
You had me working all day long
No I'm not cut out and I won't be found to make a man for you,
No, no
La na na na
La na na na
[X11]
Well if you see her, make sure you tell, tell her that I'm gone
To find a land beyond where I'll be free
The riverboat and me
A rolling stone, but by and by I'll find me home
La na na na
La na na na
[X6]
I wrote a letter in the mail it said:
"A steed don't need a mare Dearest Magnolia"
Well put flowers on the grave, and may the headstone read:
"We could get along but we never did belong"
Well Miss Magnolia
You just can't keep, keep me to yourself
You know I've been here way to long
You had me working all day long
No I'm not cut out and I won't be found to make a man for you
No, no
La na na na
La na na na
[X11]

Sweet Thursday lyrics - Matt Costa
I'm waiting in the pines
I'm waiting in the forest
Pilon at my side
The treasure lies before us
And so we started walking
We knew they couldn't harm us
And how the wind is crying
When misty morning dawn breaks
We'll walk back to the flats
With gallons in our hands
We're walking in the fields
We're working on the farms
We do just like our fathers
How can they take that from us?
And so we started driving
We had no choice to leave this
The bowl was left behind us
For Hooverville's before us
Three hundred thousand
Bodies who can't rest
Sweet Thursday is calling me back up to Monterey
Up to Monterey
So I started driving
And left my home behind me
The row there kept reminding
Of pages in your writing
Sweet Thursday is calling me back up to Monterey
Up to Monterey
I'm waiting in the forest
Pilon at my side
The treasure lies before us
And so we started walking
We knew they couldn't harm us
And how the wind is crying
When misty morning dawn breaks
We'll walk back to the flats
With gallons in our hands
We're walking in the fields
We're working on the farms
We do just like our fathers
How can they take that from us?
And so we started driving
We had no choice to leave this
The bowl was left behind us
For Hooverville's before us
Three hundred thousand
Bodies who can't rest
Sweet Thursday is calling me back up to Monterey
Up to Monterey
So I started driving
And left my home behind me
The row there kept reminding
Of pages in your writing
Sweet Thursday is calling me back up to Monterey
Up to Monterey
These Arms lyrics - Matt Costa
With an upwind facing starboard
I was unsure of where to go
The salt burns my skin
And your eyes were cold as the ocean
This is our day today
Won't you find the way back to these arms
And we're bound for where we started
With a down wind course through the harbor
At sunset I was sorry
That this was our day today
This is our day today
Why can't you find the way
Won't you find the way back to these arms
Are we bound for where we started
'Cause the start is where we're bound to end up
The start is where we're bound
And we're bound to end up where the start's at
And when twilight turned darkness
I was unsure of where to go
The salt burns my skin
And your eyes were cold as the ocean
This is our day today
Can you find the way back to these arms
This is our day today
Won't you find the way back to these arms
I was unsure of where to go
The salt burns my skin
And your eyes were cold as the ocean
This is our day today
Won't you find the way back to these arms
And we're bound for where we started
With a down wind course through the harbor
At sunset I was sorry
That this was our day today
This is our day today
Why can't you find the way
Won't you find the way back to these arms
Are we bound for where we started
'Cause the start is where we're bound to end up
The start is where we're bound
And we're bound to end up where the start's at
And when twilight turned darkness
I was unsure of where to go
The salt burns my skin
And your eyes were cold as the ocean
This is our day today
Can you find the way back to these arms
This is our day today
Won't you find the way back to these arms
Ballad Of Miss Kate lyrics - Matt Costa
You gave me your word, then you took your word back
Where once I had faith now all I see is black
Black seeing black
I gave you up rather than giving in
Where once there was virtue, it's fallen to sin
Black seeing black
You gave me your word
Then you flew like a bird
Never looking back
You can run, you can try
But you won't get away this time
You played me for a fool, in your heart you had deceit
I made you up inside my mind, when finally you I meet
You had turned black turning black
I never could have seen how you'd shoot that 44
You hit me right below the shoulder, I fell to the floor
I'm on my back, on my back
You shot me with your gun
Then you run, run, run, run
Never looking back
You can run into the street
My tire tracks you will soon meet
And if you run into the woods
I'll chop you down just like a tree
I rolled into town from years spent in my sleep
The word that the people held was that your price is cheap
Your price is cheap, price is cheap
The house with the red light on and fancy decor
You built your new life hastily so now I find you poor
I find you poor, find you poor
The sheriff found you out
There is guaranteed no doubt
You ain't coming back
We watched you catch a railroad car
That didn't get you very far
And when you finally met your match
We watched you kiss the railroad tracks
Black seeing black
Where once I had faith now all I see is black
Black seeing black
I gave you up rather than giving in
Where once there was virtue, it's fallen to sin
Black seeing black
You gave me your word
Then you flew like a bird
Never looking back
You can run, you can try
But you won't get away this time
You played me for a fool, in your heart you had deceit
I made you up inside my mind, when finally you I meet
You had turned black turning black
I never could have seen how you'd shoot that 44
You hit me right below the shoulder, I fell to the floor
I'm on my back, on my back
You shot me with your gun
Then you run, run, run, run
Never looking back
You can run into the street
My tire tracks you will soon meet
And if you run into the woods
I'll chop you down just like a tree
I rolled into town from years spent in my sleep
The word that the people held was that your price is cheap
Your price is cheap, price is cheap
The house with the red light on and fancy decor
You built your new life hastily so now I find you poor
I find you poor, find you poor
The sheriff found you out
There is guaranteed no doubt
You ain't coming back
We watched you catch a railroad car
That didn't get you very far
And when you finally met your match
We watched you kiss the railroad tracks

I Tried lyrics - Matt Costa
Rats they run across the field, crows rest in the tree
Barking madly at each other
Standing from the rooftop i scream "Won't you bark for me?"
As you turn your back and fly away
Caught on the fence you've left behind
Dive into an empty pool, I've tried
Oh I've tried
Oh I tried writing with nothing in return
When the wind freed me from the roots that tied me down
Now I need them back for comforting
Carvings that we left in branches scarred up on this tree
Lingering are thoughts you left with me
Calling the phone that you ignore
Slowly walking backwards from your door
Oh I've tried
Now we are done fighting, it's time that you return
Candle lit small light inside your window that I see
Hoping that the light still shines for me
Standing on the curbside I scream "Please come back!"
As you turn your back and fly away
Groundhogs digging with their claws
Burying their loves with dirty paws
Oh I've tried
There's no igniting, my head is in the dirt
Barking madly at each other
Standing from the rooftop i scream "Won't you bark for me?"
As you turn your back and fly away
Caught on the fence you've left behind
Dive into an empty pool, I've tried
Oh I've tried
Oh I tried writing with nothing in return
When the wind freed me from the roots that tied me down
Now I need them back for comforting
Carvings that we left in branches scarred up on this tree
Lingering are thoughts you left with me
Calling the phone that you ignore
Slowly walking backwards from your door
Oh I've tried
Now we are done fighting, it's time that you return
Candle lit small light inside your window that I see
Hoping that the light still shines for me
Standing on the curbside I scream "Please come back!"
As you turn your back and fly away
Groundhogs digging with their claws
Burying their loves with dirty paws
Oh I've tried
There's no igniting, my head is in the dirt
Lullaby lyrics - Matt Costa
When you're so lonely lying in bed
Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
Everyone's sleeping all through the house
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
And if you are waiting, waiting for me
Know I'll be home soon darling I guarantee
I'll be home Sunday just in one week
Dry up your tears if you start to weep
And sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Lullaby, I'm not nearby
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Don't you cry, no don't you cry
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Cause when I arrive dear it won't be that long
No it won't seem like anytime that I've been gone
It ain't the first time it won't be the last
Won't you remember these words to help the time pass?
So when you're so lonely lying in bed
Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
Everyone's sleeping all through the house
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby, sing this lullaby
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
Everyone's sleeping all through the house
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
And if you are waiting, waiting for me
Know I'll be home soon darling I guarantee
I'll be home Sunday just in one week
Dry up your tears if you start to weep
And sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Lullaby, I'm not nearby
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Don't you cry, no don't you cry
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Cause when I arrive dear it won't be that long
No it won't seem like anytime that I've been gone
It ain't the first time it won't be the last
Won't you remember these words to help the time pass?
So when you're so lonely lying in bed
Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
Everyone's sleeping all through the house
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby, sing this lullaby
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Gloomy lyrics - Matt Costa
In the summertime the sun don't shine
In the town we live in
I went around but still no sound
In the town and all around it's gloomy
Doo doo
Oh it's rain or shine so make up your mind
In the town we live
I went around but still no sound
In the town and all around it's gloomy
Doo doo oooh it's so gloomy doo doo
Oooh flowers should be blooming
Oooh but it's so gloomy
And my restless mind get's too much time to myself
It's summertime, come on take the sun off the shelf
'Cause it's too gloomy
Ooh well it's so gloomy
Oooh flowers should be blooming
Oooh but it's so gloomy
Well it's so gloomy
In the town we live in
I went around but still no sound
In the town and all around it's gloomy
Doo doo
Oh it's rain or shine so make up your mind
In the town we live
I went around but still no sound
In the town and all around it's gloomy
Doo doo oooh it's so gloomy doo doo
Oooh flowers should be blooming
Oooh but it's so gloomy
And my restless mind get's too much time to myself
It's summertime, come on take the sun off the shelf
'Cause it's too gloomy
Ooh well it's so gloomy
Oooh flowers should be blooming
Oooh but it's so gloomy
Well it's so gloomy
Yellow Taxi lyrics - Matt Costa
Can, can you spare some conversation
Can, can you spare some conversation
I need a yellow taxi cab today
I need your taxi cab to take me away
I need a yellow taxi cab today
So take us, driver, take us far away
I need someone like you
Someone to see me through
People looking happy
While sadly I wait for my taxi
She was standing next to me
I looked alone she took me home
In her arms I laid my head
She listened to everything I said
I need someone like you
Someone to talk to
I need a yellow taxi cab today
I need your taxi cab to take me away
I need a yellow taxi cab today
So take us driver take us far away
I need someone like you
Someone to see me through
Can, can you spare some conversation
Can, can you spare some conversation
I'm standing out here all alone
I need someone to take me home
She was standing next to me
There's room for you and room for me
I need someone like you
Someone to talk to
And we shared some conversation
And we shared some conversation
Can, can you spare some conversation
I need a yellow taxi cab today
I need your taxi cab to take me away
I need a yellow taxi cab today
So take us, driver, take us far away
I need someone like you
Someone to see me through
People looking happy
While sadly I wait for my taxi
She was standing next to me
I looked alone she took me home
In her arms I laid my head
She listened to everything I said
I need someone like you
Someone to talk to
I need a yellow taxi cab today
I need your taxi cab to take me away
I need a yellow taxi cab today
So take us driver take us far away
I need someone like you
Someone to see me through
Can, can you spare some conversation
Can, can you spare some conversation
I'm standing out here all alone
I need someone to take me home
She was standing next to me
There's room for you and room for me
I need someone like you
Someone to talk to
And we shared some conversation
And we shared some conversation
Astair lyrics - Matt Costa
Astair your glare is killing me
Astair in skies of blue
The signs you wear are making me
So confused
But the mountains and the trees
Are they just what you need
Or are they less than what
You'd expect to see
And if you're leaving well come
Give me reason why I let you down
Before you turn around now now
Before you turn around
Astair you're there and I'm still here
I swear I'm so confused
The signs you wear are making me
Feel like I'm the one to lose
But the canyons and the seas
Are they just what you need
Or are they less than what
You'd expect to see
And if you're leaving well come
Give me reason why I let you down
Before you turn around now, now
Before you turn around
But the mountains and the trees
Are they what you perceive
Or are they less than what
You'd expect to see
And if you're leaving well come
Give me reason why I let you down
Before you turn around now, now
Before you turn around
Astair in skies of blue
The signs you wear are making me
So confused
But the mountains and the trees
Are they just what you need
Or are they less than what
You'd expect to see
And if you're leaving well come
Give me reason why I let you down
Before you turn around now now
Before you turn around
Astair you're there and I'm still here
I swear I'm so confused
The signs you wear are making me
Feel like I'm the one to lose
But the canyons and the seas
Are they just what you need
Or are they less than what
You'd expect to see
And if you're leaving well come
Give me reason why I let you down
Before you turn around now, now
Before you turn around
But the mountains and the trees
Are they what you perceive
Or are they less than what
You'd expect to see
And if you're leaving well come
Give me reason why I let you down
Before you turn around now, now
Before you turn around
Oh Dear lyrics - Matt Costa
Early in the morning clouds are dropping on my head
Remind me the things last night I should have left unsaid
So please forgive the words I use, my mind it tends to run
Away with the small ideas, I know I'm not the only one
So dear, oh dear
My head it tends to stray away sometimes I cant see clear
Oh dear, oh dear
In spite of all the things I said, I always want you near
Sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours
Sometimes I'm not that sure
But anytime you look at me
Your thoughts I cant ignore
The second hand would pass us by
Should one of us had blinked
But in a minute realize that true love always waits
My dear, oh dear
My head it tends to stray away, sometimes I cant see clear
Oh dear, oh dear
In spite of all the things I said, I always want you near
Early in the morning clouds are dropping on my head
Remind me the things last night I should have left unsaid
So please forgive the words I use my mind it tends to run
Away with the small ideas I know I'm not the only one
Remind me the things last night I should have left unsaid
So please forgive the words I use, my mind it tends to run
Away with the small ideas, I know I'm not the only one
So dear, oh dear
My head it tends to stray away sometimes I cant see clear
Oh dear, oh dear
In spite of all the things I said, I always want you near
Sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours
Sometimes I'm not that sure
But anytime you look at me
Your thoughts I cant ignore
The second hand would pass us by
Should one of us had blinked
But in a minute realize that true love always waits
My dear, oh dear
My head it tends to stray away, sometimes I cant see clear
Oh dear, oh dear
In spite of all the things I said, I always want you near
Early in the morning clouds are dropping on my head
Remind me the things last night I should have left unsaid
So please forgive the words I use my mind it tends to run
Away with the small ideas I know I'm not the only one
Cold December lyrics - Matt Costa
I've been waiting, pacing along the halls ever since you left here
I've been cleaning, scrubbing the plates and weeding out the garden dear
I can't fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me
Swallowing glass just to stay pure
All the birds are heading down south but you're staying up north you say
I've got jackets blankets and sheets, its going to be a cold december
It could be warm you see, a statue next to me
Swimming away from the ice and snow
Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me
Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldn't see
I couldnt see
If only time could slow down, maybe I could come up
It's such a cold december
It's such a cold december
Its so cold
I cant fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me
Swallowing glass just to stay pure
Summers come and summer has gone
Your christmas cards cant comfort me
You've found new friends and tied all the ends
It's freezing in the loneliest winter
It could be warm you see, a statue next to me
Swimming away from the ice and snow
Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me
Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldnt see
I couldnt see
If only time could slow down, then maybe I could come up
It's such a cold december
It's such a cold december
It's so cold
I've been cleaning, scrubbing the plates and weeding out the garden dear
I can't fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me
Swallowing glass just to stay pure
All the birds are heading down south but you're staying up north you say
I've got jackets blankets and sheets, its going to be a cold december
It could be warm you see, a statue next to me
Swimming away from the ice and snow
Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me
Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldn't see
I couldnt see
If only time could slow down, maybe I could come up
It's such a cold december
It's such a cold december
Its so cold
I cant fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me
Swallowing glass just to stay pure
Summers come and summer has gone
Your christmas cards cant comfort me
You've found new friends and tied all the ends
It's freezing in the loneliest winter
It could be warm you see, a statue next to me
Swimming away from the ice and snow
Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me
Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldnt see
I couldnt see
If only time could slow down, then maybe I could come up
It's such a cold december
It's such a cold december
It's so cold
Desire's Only Fling lyrics - Matt Costa
You can count your friends for a little while
And you can make them seem like they're all worthwhile
Looking at the children and all of them worth
Making my decisions based on last minute calls I plea
But the devil wouldn't like it if you stabbed him in the back
Dancing with desire's only fling
Making my decision, I headed for the seams
Exiting only to find my dreams
Were real
Down on a south is where you can find him
Counting the days left to fulfill his omens
Turning at the ends of the unfinished corners
Opening of dreams left of untidy fallacy
But the devil wouldn't like it if you stabbed him in the back
Dancing with desire's only fling
Making my decision, I headed for the seams
Exiting only to find my dreams
Were real
Ticking away soon you will find that
Under the sand lies all of your ends mend
But if you come across the one who defies him
Be careful not to fall in the eyes of temptation
Cause the devil wouldn't like it if you stabbed him in the back
Dancing with desire's only fling
Making my decision, I headed for the seams
Exiting only to find my dreams
Were real
And you can make them seem like they're all worthwhile
Looking at the children and all of them worth
Making my decisions based on last minute calls I plea
But the devil wouldn't like it if you stabbed him in the back
Dancing with desire's only fling
Making my decision, I headed for the seams
Exiting only to find my dreams
Were real
Down on a south is where you can find him
Counting the days left to fulfill his omens
Turning at the ends of the unfinished corners
Opening of dreams left of untidy fallacy
But the devil wouldn't like it if you stabbed him in the back
Dancing with desire's only fling
Making my decision, I headed for the seams
Exiting only to find my dreams
Were real
Ticking away soon you will find that
Under the sand lies all of your ends mend
But if you come across the one who defies him
Be careful not to fall in the eyes of temptation
Cause the devil wouldn't like it if you stabbed him in the back
Dancing with desire's only fling
Making my decision, I headed for the seams
Exiting only to find my dreams
Were real
Sweet Rose lyrics - Matt Costa
My sweet rose
Ss the two of us grow
I want you to know that nothing's quite as bad
As it seems when you're so sad
So remember my rose, remember my rose
My sweet rose
I'd like to say
I'd like to say no one always gets their way
And no one always thinks the same
My rose, remember my rose
When the seasons change
And the sky turns grey
When the leaves turn brown
I'll be around
My sweet rose
As the two of us change
I want you to know that nothing stays the same
But you and I, we will remain
My rose, remember my rose
When the seasons change
And the sky turns grey
When the leaves turn brown
I'll be around
I want you to know that nothing stays the same
But you and I, we will remain
My rose, remember my rose
Ss the two of us grow
I want you to know that nothing's quite as bad
As it seems when you're so sad
So remember my rose, remember my rose
My sweet rose
I'd like to say
I'd like to say no one always gets their way
And no one always thinks the same
My rose, remember my rose
When the seasons change
And the sky turns grey
When the leaves turn brown
I'll be around
My sweet rose
As the two of us change
I want you to know that nothing stays the same
But you and I, we will remain
My rose, remember my rose
When the seasons change
And the sky turns grey
When the leaves turn brown
I'll be around
I want you to know that nothing stays the same
But you and I, we will remain
My rose, remember my rose
Songs We Sing lyrics - Matt Costa
We have got no dough at all
Got a jar full of pennies
That dont amount to any
Thing thing thing
These are the melodies
With simple harmonies we sing
We sing of the hardship life brings
It brings it brings it brings it brings
These are the songs that we sing
We sing
These are the songs that I sing
We sing
These are the songs that we sing
We sing
These are the songs that I sing
To make the day better
And we have got no home at all
Travel like the gypsies living off of any
Thing thing thing
These are the melodies
With simple harmonies we sing
We sing of the hardship life brings
It brings it brings it brings it brings
These are the songs that we sing

Sunshine lyrics - Matt Costa
Sunshine
I'd really like to tell you
Oh my sunshine
Even though your skies are blue
You're drying up my bed
How can I get any rest now?
Sha la la la la la la la
Someday
You will get the best of me
Oh someday
Probably when I'm old and grey
I'm lying in my bed
And I will soon be put to rest now
Sha la la la la la la la
Sunshine
I'd really like to tell you
Oh my sunshine
Even though your skies are blue
You're drying up my bed
How can I get any rest now?
Sha la la la la la la la
Someday
You will get the best of me
Oh someday
Probably when I'm old and grey
I'm lying in my bed
And I will soon be put to rest now
I'm lying in my bed
And I will soon be put to rest now (Ooh ooh) [x2]
Sha la la la la la la la
I'd really like to tell you
Oh my sunshine
Even though your skies are blue
You're drying up my bed
How can I get any rest now?
Sha la la la la la la la
Someday
You will get the best of me
Oh someday
Probably when I'm old and grey
I'm lying in my bed
And I will soon be put to rest now
Sha la la la la la la la
Sunshine
I'd really like to tell you
Oh my sunshine
Even though your skies are blue
You're drying up my bed
How can I get any rest now?
Sha la la la la la la la
Someday
You will get the best of me
Oh someday
Probably when I'm old and grey
I'm lying in my bed
And I will soon be put to rest now
I'm lying in my bed
And I will soon be put to rest now (Ooh ooh) [x2]

Whiskey And Wine lyrics - Matt Costa
Bottles of reasons I kept in the freezer
Now they wont leave me, why won't they leave me alone?
And with these old reasons are bottled up feelings
I wont be leaving no, won't be leaving alone
What is in it? What is in it?
To pour myself some more
What is in it? What is in it?
I'm always back for more
Oh whiskey and wine
You've messed up my mind
Whiskey and wine
You've got me this time
Bottles of reasons have now reached the ceiling
It's hard to hide it, I'll hide behind it for now
My big mouth said too much, I'm shaking at your touch
All the bottles came crashing down to the floor
What is in it? What is in it?
It couldn't be so bad
What is in it? What is in it?
That's driving me so mad
Oh whiskey and wine
You've messed up my mind
Whiskey and wine
You've got me this time
Bottles of reasons I've kept in the freezer
Now they won't leave me, why won't they leave me alone?
And with these old reasons are bottled up feelings
I won't be leaving, so won't you leave me alone
What is in it? What is in it?
To pour myself some more
What is in it? What is in it?
I'm always back for more
Oh whiskey and wine
You've messed up my mind
Whiskey and wine
You've got me this time
I used to be fine 'till whiskey arrived
Now whiskey and wine stays on my mind
Now they wont leave me, why won't they leave me alone?
And with these old reasons are bottled up feelings
I wont be leaving no, won't be leaving alone
What is in it? What is in it?
To pour myself some more
What is in it? What is in it?
I'm always back for more
Oh whiskey and wine
You've messed up my mind
Whiskey and wine
You've got me this time
Bottles of reasons have now reached the ceiling
It's hard to hide it, I'll hide behind it for now
My big mouth said too much, I'm shaking at your touch
All the bottles came crashing down to the floor
What is in it? What is in it?
It couldn't be so bad
What is in it? What is in it?
That's driving me so mad
Oh whiskey and wine
You've messed up my mind
Whiskey and wine
You've got me this time
Bottles of reasons I've kept in the freezer
Now they won't leave me, why won't they leave me alone?
And with these old reasons are bottled up feelings
I won't be leaving, so won't you leave me alone
What is in it? What is in it?
To pour myself some more
What is in it? What is in it?
I'm always back for more
Oh whiskey and wine
You've messed up my mind
Whiskey and wine
You've got me this time
I used to be fine 'till whiskey arrived
Now whiskey and wine stays on my mind
Shimmering Fields lyrics - Matt Costa
Flowers are nice, flowers are pretty
So I took a ride away from the city
Stories I'd heard of mystery and magic
Traveling caravans left me enchanted
With rivers of sun glow just beyond the plateau
I followed them down to the well
There are your wishes there are your dreams
In shimmering fields of gold
A mystical mistress in the forest of night
Knew that I'd come from city lights
Shimmering fields but of course my dear
Shimmering fields of gold
Many have followed the footsteps you're on
Good to know I'm not alone
la da da da da da
la da da da da da
Shimmering straight ahead I see
Shimmering fields of gold
All you could wish for and all you could dream
Shimmering fields of gold
So I took a ride away from the city
Stories I'd heard of mystery and magic
Traveling caravans left me enchanted
With rivers of sun glow just beyond the plateau
I followed them down to the well
There are your wishes there are your dreams
In shimmering fields of gold
A mystical mistress in the forest of night
Knew that I'd come from city lights
Shimmering fields but of course my dear
Shimmering fields of gold
Many have followed the footsteps you're on
Good to know I'm not alone
la da da da da da
la da da da da da
Shimmering straight ahead I see
Shimmering fields of gold
All you could wish for and all you could dream
Shimmering fields of gold
Behind The Moon lyrics - Matt Costa
I would shine just like a million suns if you'd just love me baby
I'll be in your life again so baby, baby just say maybe
Now here I come
To dance around the sun
I've been oh so blue
Stuck behind the moon
Now let me in
Back where we begin
And let me hold you like the way
I used to do
All the stars point me to you and lately they just drive me crazy
A universe can be so cruel so baby, baby be my lady
Now here I come
To dance around the sun
I've been oh so blue
Stuck behind the moon
Now let me in
Back where we begin
And let me hold you like the way
I used to do
I would shine just like a million suns if you'd just love me baby
I'll be in your life again so baby, baby just say maybe
Now here I come
To dance around the sun
I've been oh so blue
Stuck behind the moon
Now let me in
Back where we begin
And let me hold you like the way
Now let me hold you like the way...
Now let me hold you like the way...
Now let me hold you like the way...
I used to do
I used to do
I used to do
I used to do
I'll be in your life again so baby, baby just say maybe
Now here I come
To dance around the sun
I've been oh so blue
Stuck behind the moon
Now let me in
Back where we begin
And let me hold you like the way
I used to do
All the stars point me to you and lately they just drive me crazy
A universe can be so cruel so baby, baby be my lady
Now here I come
To dance around the sun
I've been oh so blue
Stuck behind the moon
Now let me in
Back where we begin
And let me hold you like the way
I used to do
I would shine just like a million suns if you'd just love me baby
I'll be in your life again so baby, baby just say maybe
Now here I come
To dance around the sun
I've been oh so blue
Stuck behind the moon
Now let me in
Back where we begin
And let me hold you like the way
Now let me hold you like the way...
Now let me hold you like the way...
Now let me hold you like the way...
I used to do
I used to do
I used to do
I used to do
Wash Away lyrics - Matt Costa
Float down stream, rivers of dreams
Float down stream, catch your wings
Heavens high, so you fly
Catch your dreams in the sky
But the glaciers have frozen your feet
I can't wait for eternity
And so you watched me wash away
But maybe we'll catch up someday
Maybe well catch up someday
Sun sinks out of view
Stars they shine changing hue
But bright lights have blinded your sights
They cant adjust when day turns to night
And so you watched me wash away
But maybe well catch up someday
The castles we built were so tall
They only left us further to fall
And still I see them far away
But maybe we'll come back someday
Maybe we'll come back someday
Float down stream, rivers of dreams
Float down stream, catch your wings
The castles we built were so tall
They only left us further to fall
And still I see them far away
Maybe well come back someday
The castles we built were so tall
They only left us further to fall
And still I see them far away
As I watch them wash away
Wash away...
Wash away...
Wash away...
Wash away...
Float down stream, catch your wings
Heavens high, so you fly
Catch your dreams in the sky
But the glaciers have frozen your feet
I can't wait for eternity
And so you watched me wash away
But maybe we'll catch up someday
Maybe well catch up someday
Sun sinks out of view
Stars they shine changing hue
But bright lights have blinded your sights
They cant adjust when day turns to night
And so you watched me wash away
But maybe well catch up someday
The castles we built were so tall
They only left us further to fall
And still I see them far away
But maybe we'll come back someday
Maybe we'll come back someday
Float down stream, rivers of dreams
Float down stream, catch your wings
The castles we built were so tall
They only left us further to fall
And still I see them far away
Maybe well come back someday
The castles we built were so tall
They only left us further to fall
And still I see them far away
As I watch them wash away
Wash away...
Wash away...
Wash away...
Wash away...
Josephine lyrics - Matt Costa
Josephine, Josephine, you’re not the girl for me
Josephine, Josephine, you’re not the girl for me
Well I found out, we were wrong and never meant to be
Well I found out, we were wrong and never meant to be
Well, I’ve got this life to waste my time
It’ll take some time to ease my mind
I’ve got this life and that’s for sure
Josephine is walking out that door
You know that, time can change you
You know the clock will age you
You know that I can’t blame you
You’re not who you used to be
Live an learn
She’s rolling right by me
Find me a good girl, one with soul
Your water’s too shallow
Find me a good girl, one with soul
Your water’s too shallow
Well, someone with money can buy you rings
Stuck in these hard times sweeping change
I’ve got this life and that’s for sure
Josephine is walking out my door
You know that, time can change you
You know the clock will age you
You know that I can’t blame you
You’re not who you used to be
You know that, time can change you
You know the clock will age you
You know that I can’t blame you
You’re not who you used to be
Josephine, Josephine, you’re not the girl for me
Well I found out, we were wrong and never meant to be
Well I found out, we were wrong and never meant to be
Well, I’ve got this life to waste my time
It’ll take some time to ease my mind
I’ve got this life and that’s for sure
Josephine is walking out that door
You know that, time can change you
You know the clock will age you
You know that I can’t blame you
You’re not who you used to be
Live an learn
She’s rolling right by me
Find me a good girl, one with soul
Your water’s too shallow
Find me a good girl, one with soul
Your water’s too shallow
Well, someone with money can buy you rings
Stuck in these hard times sweeping change
I’ve got this life and that’s for sure
Josephine is walking out my door
You know that, time can change you
You know the clock will age you
You know that I can’t blame you
You’re not who you used to be
You know that, time can change you
You know the clock will age you
You know that I can’t blame you
You’re not who you used to be
