matt simons - best years

Saturday night
Time to go out again
Bask in my self doubt again
Sounds like fun
Stumble around
Search for more games to play
Drink and throw the whole week away
Its what we do
Take a picture, witness from afar
Losing a sense of who we are
As we find a sense of who we're going to be
Part of the crowd
I remember whose hearts you wear
I can't help it I stop and stare
You caught my eye
Talking to you
I guess it's now time to be
Tricking you in loving me
Maybe for a night
Words they fall so far, they fall so fast
Gotta just make this moment last
And let die for one more day
The fear of ending up alone
All at once its changed
All at once its real
Need to take control
Learning just to deal
Draw away our minds
Till that day arrives
This is how we'll spend
The best years of our lives
All at once scared to death again
Time to take a deep breath and then
Be on my way
All the strange new highs
Give to all-time lows
Problems take control
Before anybody knows
Luckily for me
Dreams are hard to break
Balance to be learned
Between the give and
Take a picture, witness from afar
Losing a sense of who we are
As we find a sense of who we're going to be
All at once its changed
All at once its real
Need to take control
Learning just to deal
Draw away our minds
Till that day arrives
This is how we'll spend
The best years of our lives
Time to go out again
Bask in my self doubt again
Sounds like fun

matt simons - the boxer

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest, hmm
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station
Running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
Lie-la-lie
Li? -la-lie-la-lie-la-lie
Li? -la-lie
Lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie, la-la-lie-la-lie
Asking only workman's wages
I go looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
When I lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la lie-la-lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie, la-la-lie-la-lie
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone, going home
Where the New York City winters are not bleeding me
Leading me
Going home
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him 'til he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
Though the fighter still remains, still remains
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie, la-la-lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-la-lie-la-lie, la-la-lie-la-lie

matt simons - bonnie amp clyde

Long nights
Years gone by
Highlights of you and I

We will ride
We'll be bulletproof
One more time
Nothing left to lose

I take all the money and make for the door
So keep the car running and head for the shore
I hope they're all ready
It's time to get saved
So keep your hands steady
We'll make our getaway

Drive fast
Make our move
Don't look back
Your aim is true

Long white lines
Split the world in two
On our side
With nothing left to lose

I take all the money and make for the door
So keep the car running and head for the shore
I hope they're all ready
It's time to get saved
So keep your hands steady
We'll make our getaway

I take all the money and make for the door
So keep the car running and head for the shore
I hope they're all ready
It's time to get saved
So keep your hands steady
We'll make our getaway

Nobody said we were heroes
Nobody said that we were heroes
Nobody said we were heroes
Nobody said that we were heroes
Nobody said we were heroes
Nobody said that we were heroes
Nobody said we were heroes
Nobody said that we were heroes

I take all the money and make for the door
So keep the car running and head for the shore
I hope they're all ready
It's time to get saved
So keep your hands steady
We'll make our getaway

I take all the money and make for the door
So keep the car running and head for the shore
I hope they're all ready
It's time to get saved
So keep your hands steady
We'll make our getaway

matt simons - catch amp release

[Verso 1:]
There's a place I go to
Where no one knows me
It's not lonely
It's a necessary thing
It's a place I made up
Find out what I'm made of
The nights I've stayed up
Counting stars and fighting sleep

[Pré-Coro:]
Let it wash over me
Ready to lose my feet
Take me off to the place where one reviews life's mystery
Steady on down the line
Lose every sense of time
Take it all in and wake up that small part of me
Day to day I'm blind to see
And find how far
To go

[Coro:]
Everybody got their reason
Everybody got their way
We're just catching and releasing
What builds up throughout the day
It gets into your body
And it flows right through your blood
We can tell each other secrets
And remember how to love

[Verso 2:]
There's a place I'm going
No one knows me
If I breathe real slowly
Let it out and let it in
They can be terrifying
To be slowly dying
Also clarifying
We end where we begin

[Pré-Coro:]
So let it wash over me
I'm ready to lose my feet
Take me off to the place where one reviews life's mystery
Steady on down the line
Lose every sense of time
Take it all in and wake up that small part of me
Day to day I'm blind to see
And find how far
To go

[Coro:]
Everybody got their reason
Everybody got their way
We're just catching and releasing
What builds up throughout the day
It gets into your body
And it flows right through your blood
We can tell each other secrets
And remember how to love

matt simons - emotionally involved

All alone on the road done my miles now
I'm a soldier, a dark horse, a warrior
Hungry for, I don't know, going oh so crazy from this distance
Take my soul, take everything I know, take control of my existence

You got emotional
You got emotional
We got emotionally involved
We got emotionally involved again

Saved my soul and it shows, such a friend to me
All I know's you're so close, now we're family
You got on, I got off, we got over it
Have some sense, I'll be steady with my intent
But I know we can't forget it

You got emotional
You got emotional
We got emotionally involved
We got emotionally involved again

I'll never forgive myself if I lose you
I'll never forgive myself if I lose you
Never forgive myself if I lose you
My whole life

You got emotional
You got emotional
We got emotionally involved
We got emotionally involved
We got emotionally involved
We got emotionally involved again

matt simons - fall in line

I've been fine here on my own
In fact, I prefer to be alone
From these signs that you have shown
Mixed up all I thought I'd known

You've been looking out for your own time
I was merely wondering
If yours and mine could ever align

Saw you just the other day
Caught you looking back my way
Then to your friends as if to say
Yeah, this just might turn out okay

I've been looking out for my own time
But I've come around to thinking
If you were mine, that could be fine

I don't know you all that well
Maybe
Could be something special, time will tell
Lady

Pay no mind
There's no way that we will find it alone
Nothing if we stall
Heaven when we fall in line

You've been looking out for your own time
I was merely wondering

If yours and mine could ever align

I don't know you all that well
Maybe
Could be something special, time will tell
Baby

Pay no mind
There's no way that we gon' find it alone
Nothing if we stall
Heaven when we fall in line

I'll try and show what this needs to survive
I'll let you know when we arrive
Listen, I will think of you only
Ain't you tired of lonely?
So do what is good for you
I've seen the way you act
You've been trying to attract me too

I don't know you all that well
Maybe
Could be something special, time will tell
Lady

Pay no mind
There's no way that we gon' find it alone
Nothing if we stall
Heaven when we fall in line

matt simons - fall in line

matt simons - gone

Get on out of town
Roll the windows down
Feel that pouring rain
And leave it all behind
Disappears over my shoulder
Turn a new leaf over
Freedom in my soul
I got nothing on my mind
I'm about to put this away
Hear about it on the evening news
All about a man with nothing left to lose
We ain't got nothing if we ain't got shoes to run
I know my heart is true
So, what you want, what you gotta get me through
I ain't got nothing if I ain't got you to love
And I'm tired of being wrong, yes I'm tired of being wrong, I'm so
Tired of being wrong I'm gone
After the way things went
I'm not so innocent
The way I acted and
The foolish things I said
And left behind with all those screams
Sits a pile of my broken dreams
I could rummage through
Or I ditch it all instead
I'm about to put this to rest
Come on

All about a man with nothing left to lose
We ain't got nothing if we ain't got shoes to run
I know my heart is true
So, what you want, what you gotta get me through
I ain't got nothing if I ain't got you to love
And I'm tired of being wrong, oh I'm tired of being wrong, I'm so
Tired of being wrong I'm gone
For three long years I've been waiting
Pick myself up off the floor
I see my time here s been wasted
I'm about to pack on up and head on out the door
Oh oh no
Hear about it on the evening news
All about a man with nothing left to lose
We ain't got nothing if we ain't got shoes to run
I know my heart is true
So, what you want, what you gotta get me through
I ain't got nothing if I ain't got you to love
And I'm tired of being wrong, yes I'm tired of being wrong, I'm so
Tired of being wrong I'm gone
And I'm tired of being wrong, oh so I'm tired of being wrong, I'm so
Tired of being wrong I'm gone

matt simons - i have said enough

I will fall
That I know
Say you don't feel the same
And I will go

I have been sitting here
You have told
Me of your reasons why
And I'm not sold

I am so lost in what you believe
I am so lost in what you believe

With these eyes
All made clear
Why we still find ourselves
Right back here

I see you terrified
Love so new
Tell me you have with him
All we do

I am so lost in what you believe
I am so lost in what you believe

And I would love to be the one to find
The way to help you to
Unlock the chains to your own mind
But I have said enough

You will fall
To what you know
Say you don't want to be with me
And I will go

I may have out of fear
Come on too strong
But I would not be standing here
If I was wrong

I am so lost in what you believe
I am so lost in what you believe

And I would love to be the one to find
The way to help you to
Unlock the chains to your own mind
But I have said
I have said

You got me lost in
All your excuses
You are not crazy

No you are not crazy
We are all alone
You can be open
You can be open
You can let me in

And I would love to be the one to find
The way to help you to
Unlock the chains to your own mind
But I have said
I have said
I have said enough

matt simons - i will follow you into the dark

Love of mine someday you will die
I'll be close behind
To follow you into the dark
No blinding lights or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clay so tight
Waiting for the hint of the spark
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the nose on their vacancy sings
If there's no one beside you when you're so
I'll follow you into the dark
Catholic school is vicious as Roman Rule
I got my knuckles bruised
By a lady in black and
I held my tongue, as she told me "son
Fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back in
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied

If there's no one beside you when you're so
I'll follow you into the dark
I'll follow you into the dark
You and me, we've seen everything to see
To Bangkok to Calvary
And the souls of our shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
There's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon in the blackest of uu-uuh
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the nose on their vacancy sings
If there's no one beside you when you're so
I'll follow you
I'll follow you
I'll follow you
I'll follow you into the dark
I'll follow you into the dark

matt simons - i 039 m already over you

You, come home in what feels like forever, I
Catch you sporting raised tail-feathers, I
Ain't stupid I can put four together
There's something going on in here

You act like we don't have trouble, I
Take pleasure in bursting your bubble, I
Know exactly where you been crossing double
The lines have been drawn crystal clear
How could you do me so wrong
How could you do me so wrong

So think about
All of the ways I have slaved for you
The home that I made for you
Well, I ain't coming home again
This time tomorrow I will be gone
You can cry all you want
Cause I'm already over you

You say that you don't have another, you
Tell me I'm your one only lover, well
I did we some work undercover and
Found out what you've done and where

Found fault with the things that you've said to me
I take salt with the shit that you fed to me
By now, you already dead to me, dead to me, dead to me, dead to me
How could you do me so wrong
How could you do me so wrong

So think about
All of the ways I have slaved for you
The home that I made for you
Well, I ain't coming home again
This time tomorrow I will be gone
You can cry all you want
Cause I'm already over you

It made its way about town
That you've been fooling around
Then made its way back to me
Oh oh oh oh
How could you be so unkind
How could I be so blind
To not have seen this immediately

So think about
All of the ways I have slaved for you
The home that I made for you
Well, I ain't coming home again
This time tomorrow I will be gone
You can cry all you want
Cause I'm already over you

matt simons - it 039 s not enough

I'm a liar
I don't think about you the same way
You're an actress
Act like everything is ok
I'm a drifter
I've been drifting far enough to say
I'll be leaving
I'll be gone before the day

If this is still love here
The first love is the love that never dies
You're still shining
You've got diamonds in your eyes
Cut right through me
Deep within my soul I'm paralysed
I release you
You can be someone else's price

It's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough
It's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough
It's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough
It's not enough
For me

The darkness of the basement
My parent's basement where we used to love
We're so quiet
We can hear the footsteps up above
I feel your body
I can taste your breath inside my lungs
You're like fire
You're like fire on my tounge

It's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough
It's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough
It's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough
It's not enough
For me

I don't know myself without you
Afraid of the world might swallow me (ohh)
Starting over
No one here
Nowhere else to go
No excuses
Honestly there's something we both know
(Know...)

It's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough
It's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough
It's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough
It's not enough
For me

matt simons - let me go on

Here's a tune, for those of you who know me
Know I'm bound to get lonely
Once left to wait

We go out, we are bound to get wasted
Settle down you can't taste it
Before it's too late

Pestered with tales of our responsibility
The world's gonna bring you down to size
Well I got a plan to fight the fire in your eyes

Let me go
Let me go
Let me go on

Here it goes, now I gotta be honest
We better get on this
Before it slips away

The day will come
You realize your potential
It's really not so suspenseful
You're left with bills to pay

Pestered by tales of all missed opportunities
Of youth being wasted on the young
Well I got a plan to fight the fire on your tongue

Let me go
Let me go
Let me go on

Life's too short to take people at their word
Regardless of all you heard
Everyone I know says once a season
That they got a reason
To change
Usually they just rearrange

Let me go
Let me go
Let me go on

Let me go
Let me go
Let me go on

matt simons - light in you

Somehow I'm worth your while
I get to hold you first thing in the morning
Then when I see you smile
Brighter than the new day that is dawning

It really makes me wonder
How this is real life
Not a dream or spell I'm under
With the way, the way that you make me feel like

In a crowded room, I'm the only one
Then its just us two, and the setting sun
There's a light in you, and everything that you do
Once again it seems you found a way
To make me love you even more
Than I loved you yesterday

I figured I'll tell you why
I stay up some nights to hear you breathing
With everyday that goes by
You are the one and only I believe in

If you'll agree to have me
Each day of your life
I'll try to make you happy
Like the way, the way that you make me feel like

In a crowded room, I'm the only one
Then its just us two, and the setting sun
There's a light in you, and everything that you do
Once again it seems you found a way
To make me love you even more
Than I loved you yesterday

In a crowded room, I'm the only one
Then its just us two, and the setting sun
There's a light in you, and everything that you do
Once again it seems you found a way
To make me love you even more
Than I loved you yesterday

I love you even more
Than I loved you yesterday

matt simons - living proof

Another evening falls
Moonlight starts to drape
Taking to these city streets
She searches for escape

Daddy's little girl
He never got to know
As with every day that's passed
The void begins to grow

And I'm sorry I'm the one who let her down
I'm so sorry I'm the one who never cared to hang around
Now you're stuck here living proof
Tragedy is real
Swim in seas of millions
Couldn't care less how you feel

Somehow life goes on
Somehow life goes on
Somehow life goes on
Somehow life goes on

Went out Friday night
Never to return
You are all sound sleeping as
The fire starts to burn

Huddled in a room
No one says a thing
Seven pairs of crying eyes
Beg that phone to ring

And I'm sorry I'm the one who let him go
I'm so sorry I'm the one who took the wheel and lost control
Now you're stuck here living proof
Tragedy is real
Swim in seas of millions
Couldn't care less how you feel

Somehow life goes on
Somehow life goes on
Somehow life goes on
Somehow life goes on

Home on Tuesday night
Everything seems fine
Suddenly there's pain
She dons a robe and gets in line

Been a hundred days
What a brilliant fight
As the clock strikes 4am
She walks into the light

And I'm sorry there was nothing we could do
I'm so sorry I'm the one who's left here crying over you
Now you're stuck here living proof
Tragedy is real
Swim in seas of millions
Couldn't care less how you feel

Somehow life goes on
Somehow life goes on
Somehow life goes on
Somehow life goes on
Somehow life goes on
Somehow life goes on
Somehow life goes on
Somehow life goes on
