matt wertz - behind a smile

Cause I don't know what I should do now
When I've exausted all I know how
Still all of my efforts, they fail me
Leaving me broken and empty
I can't go on, half living this life on my own

Cause I'm hiding behind this smile
No, I haven't come out for awhile
See there is this place so empty inside me
I keep hiding behind this smile

There must be some place warmer then here
Because my teeth just chatter and I live in fear
But every attempt I attempt just impails me
Leaving me broken and empty
And I can't go on, half living this life on my own

Cause I'm hiding behind this smile
No, I haven't come out for awhile
See there is this place so empty inside me
I keep hiding behind this smile
Cause no I'm not okay
No I'm not alright

Cause I'm hiding behind this smile
No, I haven't come out for awhile
See there is this place so empty inside me
I keep hiding behind this smile

matt wertz - wake up wake up

I don't think I slept a single wink last night dreaming even though I was
Awake I heard reindeer on the roof and the sound of you know who pulling
Presents down from on his sleigh it's time I tiped toed down the steps and
Sneaked a peak I've been waiting for this day all year there's every
Stocking stuffed and there's only cookie crumbs ain't no doubt about it
That he's been here

Wake up! Wake up! You know that it's christmas morning come on jump on out
Of bed wake up! Wake up! You know that it's christmas morning get up get up
You sleepy head

Dad I went ahead and got your camera out and momma don't you worry 'bout
Your hair cause I can't take it anymore we've all been waiting for there's
A pile of presents waiting just down stairs

Wake up! Wake up! You know that it's christmas morning come on jump on out
Of bed wake up! Wake up! You know that it's christmas morning get up get up
You sleepy head

And the light outside the window is the moon don't you know that we can
Sleep all afternoon

Wake up! Wake up! You know that it's christmas morning come on jump on out
Of bed wake up! Wake up! You know that it's christmas morning get up get up
You sleepy head get up get up get outta bed.

matt wertz - carolina

Tennessee in January
Everything, ordinary
You're unlike anything I see

Is it how I really feel
or just another heart to steall
to fee this song inside of me

Carolina, you will have to forgive me
Carolina, this is just my tendency
Forgive me

I pass another day I waste
on thoughts and words I had to ask
like what if, what then, wh not, and who could say

All I really know of you
You're just as lonely too
Cause desperate hearts are hearts that need someone

Carolina, you will have to forgive me
Carolina, this is just my tendency
Forgive me

I'm careless sometimes
I'm sure that you'll find
thats not how I wanna live my life
I wanna be sure, but don't know how to or how hard to try

Carolina, you will have to forgive me
Carolina, this is just my tendency (x2)

Carolina

matt wertz - back in june

Back in June, when we were so young,
It's gone too soon, befor our love was done.
We had a chance to make it happen,
We had a chance to love somehow.
It could have been so picture perfect,
It's too late to have that now.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Yeah, yeah.

Back in June,
Convinced you were the one.
Came the moon, while we waited for the sun.
Picking names out for our children,
I wanted daughters, you wanted sons.
Yeah.
Whispers under constilations,
With the eye looking up.

And I guess we just wanted different things,
Chasing differnet dreams.
And love must have a way of taking what it brings,
Least that's what it seems.
Yeah, yeah.

Back in June,
If I knew all this would happen,
Still chose you,
I wouldn't trade all of our passion.
I can't change the ending,
And I don't want to change your mind.
Yeah.
I've learned lessons in the mending,
And I made it through just fine.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Yeah, yeah.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, no, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

matt wertz - to be free

Here we are, right now
Trying to get somewhere
Through these midnight days
Quicksand highways

Something's missing here
Something I had before
Or is it a distant place we're all waiting for?

Oh, to be free
Oh, to be free

I've looked everywhere
For someone to share the weight
To make me not afraid of the "me" I hate

Tell me I'm not alone
That you are just like me
That you won't run away from all the dark inside of me

Oh, to be free
Oh, to be free

I've been shackled so long
By the chains of loss and brokenness
I've been drowning in the dark
In the middle of a sea of loneliness

I see the sun coming up
I feel the chains falling off

I know there's a greater love
Trying to get to me
One that can take the pain
And bring new hope to everything

Oh, to be free
Oh, to be free

To be free

matt wertz - 519

I´d be lying through my teeth if I told you
That I´m ok
When July came I thought I had it all together
Until you said
I need some space
Truth be told
It´s so hard to wait

With one eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It´s 5:19
I´m feeling alone
So if I could talk to you
I´d want you to know
I´m holding loose
But ain´t letting go

We both know that I could think myself dizzy
Right now I´m spinning around
I know you said, "baby don´t worry"
But I miss you right now
I just miss you right now

With one eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It´s 5:19
I´m feeling alone
So if I could talk to you
I´d want you to know
I´m holding loose
But ain´t letting go

Baby, take all the time you need
I just want you to know
I´ll be here, waiting

With one eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It´s 5:19
I´m feeling alone
So if I could talk to you
I´d want you to know
I´m holding loose
But ain´t letting go

matt wertz - faith and compromise

I'm waiting on faith and compromise
I'm staying plastered to the floor tonight
As I'm waiting up on faith and compromise

You called me without warning
One Wednesday early morning
Now Wednesdays will never be the same again
Long distance call from Georgia
Sweet southern speak is what you gave to me
It was all I needed

'Cause I'm waiting on faith and compromise
I'm staying plastered to the floor tonight
Just hoping it'll be alright
'Cause I'm trading all my hopes and fears
Praying that all my expectations die
As I'm waiting up on faith and compromise

Your face now burns in my head
And I can't shaking this feeling
That you could be the first to be my last
Before you call I'll answer
Before you speak I'll hear you
Just promise me you'll listen as i dream
And you'll find me

'Cause I'm waiting on faith and compromise
I'm staying plastered to the floor tonight
Just hoping it'll be alright
'Cause I'm trading all my hopes and fears
Praying that all my expectations die
As I'm waiting up on faith and compromise

You were the last thing on my mind
The first thing on my lips
Staying up all night just to hear from you

'Cause I'm waiting on faith and compromise
I'm staying plastered to the floor tonight
Just hoping it'll be alright
'Cause I'm trading all my hopes and fears
Praying that all my expectations die
As I'm waiting up on faith and compromise

matt wertz - some one like you

i spent all morning remembering you
in hopes of proving all of this truth
'cause me and the moonlight
Spent all of last night
finally caught your eye

baby i confess, i was not expecting this
(i have been waiting for someone like you)
baby i must admit, i got used to loneliness
(i have been waiting for someone like you)
someone like you, someone like you

an afternoon finds me further along
could patience be better?
should i move on?
but it's all i can do not to call you
but your number's still left on my head

baby i confess, i was not expecting this
(i have been waiting for someone like you)
baby i must admit, i got used to loneliness
(i have been waiting for someone like you)

maybe i'm foolish, there's nothing to this
my hope is gone
what if you were feeling like i do
i'm dying to see you again

baby i confess, i was not expecting this
(i have been waiting for someone like you)
baby i must admit, i got used to loneliness
(i have been waiting for someone like you)

baby i confess, i was not expecting this
(i have been waiting for someone like you)
baby i must admit, i got used to loneliness
(i have been waiting for someone like you)
someone like you, someone like you,
someone like you, someone like you
someone like you

matt wertz - all i know

I don't know how the stars hang
Or how there's night and then there's day
I don't know how you spoke into the black
and made it all obey

(Chorus)
All that I know is the bleeding in my heart
and the healing in your touch
All that I know is that you gave everything
so let that be enough...it's all I know, it's all I know

I don't know how your love works
Or how you cover me in grace
I don't know how you swallow all I am
when I can't stand my taste, oh

(Chorus)
All that I know is the bleeding in my heart
and the healing in your touch
All that I know is that you gave everything
so let that be enough...it's all I know

And I can't explain your mystery,
but I know the answer

(Chorus)
All that I know is the bleeding in my heart
and the healing in your touch
All that I know is that you gave everything
so let that be enough...it's all I know, it's all I know

matt wertz - with you tonight

Saturday
600 miles lie between the two of us
and telephones, they can't replace
me with you, face to face

You gotta tell me its true,
You feel the same,
I'm so much better when I say your name

Let me be with you tonight
Everything will be just fine
With you tonight

Street lights kiss, upon your lips
My jealous eyes, saw all of this
Losing sleep, we learn to be
Me with you, You with me

You gotta tell me its true
You feel the same
I'm so much better when I say your name

Let me be with you tonight
Everything will be just fine
With you tonight
With you tonight

Let me be with you tonight
Everything will be just fine (x2)

With you tonight
Tonight
You, tonight

matt wertz - this moment

It's not that others aren't
but this one I know for sure
Your touch, too real, too warm
Your words, too loud to ignore

(Chorus)
This moment is you (I'm on my knees again)
This moment is you (completely helpless)
This moment is you (can you restore me?)
This moment is you (bring peace and healing)

Too often I overlooked
these moments with you by my side
When absence leads to loss
it's me who's left alive

(Chorus)2x

This moment is you
This moment is...you...you
(bring peace and healing)

matt wertz - summer sun

Remember the long days
Singing through
Palm leaves
Remember the ocean air
Wearin' our brown skin
Sprinkled
With sea breeze
Wind blowing through
Your august hair

Summer sun
Nothin'
But time to waste
We were young
Both of us
Takin' a chance
On love
Under the sun
Summer sun

You held me tightly
I kissed you softly
Sweeter than lemonade
Learning the hours
Learning each other
Suddenly finding
How to be

Summer sun
Nothin'
But time to waste
We were young
Both of us
Takin' a chance
On love
Under the sun
Summer sun

And when day faded
Into starlight
You and the moon
At midnight
No where
I'd rather be

Summer sun
Nothin'
But time to waste
We were young
Both of us
Takin' a chance
On love
Under the sun
Under the sun

Summer sun
Nothin'
But time to waste
We were young
Both of us
Takin' a chance
On love
Under the sun
Summer sun

matt wertz - pennies and jesus

Another November
That makes 58
But I still can remember the first
When I said forever
I meant every word
Even now, for better or worse

What happened to the years between
When we started out and where we stand?
Love, you gotta know that when I?m weak
I?m holding on for you

We raised our children
On pennies and jesus
And prayed that would be enough
And we watched our
Daughters and son turn to
Mothers and father,
Just like us

What happened to the years between
When we started out and where we stand?
Love, you gotta know that when I?m weak
I?m holding on for you

All that we?ve got is each other
So what will I do when you?re gone?
Know that as long as I?m living
I?ll be holding on

What happened to the years between
When we started out and where we stand?
Love, you gotta know that when I?m weak
I?m holding on for you

matt wertz - wade through the night

Lengthening shadows
Timeless days
Laughing in the sunlight
Losing our way
Grass underneath us
Sky above
We're in the middle
Surrounded by love

Let's kick off our shoes
And wade through the night
The air's so warm
The moon just right
We'll sing to the stars
And dance by their light
As we kick off our shoes
And wade through the night

When I look around
I just can't deny
Everything you
Everything I
Tracing your outline
Against the painted sky
Connecting the dots
Between you and I

So let's kick off our shoes
And wade through the night
The air's too warm
Moons just right
We sing to the stars
And dance by the light
As we kick off our shoes
And wade through the night

We'll hike up our jeans
And get our feet wet
Maybe we'll dance until the dawn

Let's kick off our shoes
And wade through the night
The air's so warm
The moons just right
We'll sing to the stars
And dance by their light
As we kick off our shoes
And wade through....

matt wertz - the way i feel

I could talk until my face turns blue
Going about what I wanna do with you
I?m so tired of being alone, yeah

What you say we just get outta here
Just hop into my car and disappear
I know you know what?s going on
What?s going on, yeah yeah

I can?t help the way I feel about you now
When everything inside of me is singing out
It?s just the way I feel

What would happen if I came real clean
When every girl before has fled the scene
I guess we?ll wait and see
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

They say this happens nearly everyday
But not to me and that is why I want to say, yeah

I can?t help the way I feel about you now
When everything inside of me is singing out
No I cannot help the way
I can?t help the way
No I cannot help the way, yeah
I cannot help the way, the way I feel

I can?t help the way I feel about you now
About you baby
When everything inside of me is singing out
Everything inside of me is singing it yeah

I can?t help the way I feel about you now
When everything inside of me is singing out
