Playlist Matthew Koma

matthew koma - 1998

Coconut chewing gum
Insecurely on your tongue
Bumpin' up cause we were young
And we wanna

Strung out Juliet
My initials on her neck
And when the sweat fell off her chest
I thought I owned her

And when you wanted redemption, I was suicide
And you where somewhere hide inside

I wonder where we've come to been
Screamin out loud on safety pins
All the crooked maps we made
Locked in 1998
Tap on clap on candle wax
Smell of that perfume takes me back
All the crooked tracks we laid
Locked in 1998
Oh oh oh oh oh

Poloroid memories
And the sound of libertines
Your sarcastic lips on me
Are slightly open

Peter Pan ecstasy
Tinker Bell on LSD
Innocent insanity
Of empty ocean, the ocean wide

And when you wanted redemption, I was suicide
And you were somewhere hide inside

I wonder where we've come to been
Screamin' out loud on safety pins
All the crooked maps we made
Locked in 1998
Tap one clap one candle wax
Smell of that perfume takes me back
All the crooked tracks we laid
Locked in 1998

I don't know how we got here
Well get back there
I don't know how we got here
Well get back there

I wonder where we've come to been
Screamin' out loud on safety pins
All the crooked maps we made
Locked in 1998
Tap on clap on candle wax
Smell of that perfume takes me back
All the crooked tracks we laid
Locked in 1998
Oh oh oh oh oh

matthew koma - clarity

High dive into frozen waves
Where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain,
It was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash
'Cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your
Glass and I drown in you again

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

(Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay, Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay
Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay, Hey-ay, hey)

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Walk on through a red parade
And refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground
And makes us forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave
'Cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull then i'll push too deep
And i'll fall right back to you

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

(Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay, Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay
Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay, Hey-ay, hey)

Why are you my clarity? Why are you my remedy?
Why are you my clarity? Why are you my remedy?

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

matthew koma - parachute

Think of me when your world seems to fall apart
Under the weight of a heavy heart
It?s so material, criminal, what we put up on a pedestal
Need a spark to start a fire
Don?t be afraid of a chance for a miracle
Scare it away being cynical
Step into open skies, close your eyes
Jump into something you don?t recognize
Just reach your arms out wide

Cut me loose, my parachute won?t let me fly
I?ll survive cuz we got love
Summer days will fade away and pass us by
But we?ll survive cuz we got love
Think of what we had, we got love
And it?s all we had, we got love
Think of what we had, we got love

I?ll be the voice when the whispers get too loud
Your home base and the king that keeps you crowned
Your breath when you?re choking on your words
Your sex your right turn
When you?re ready to start, lean on my heart baby
Close your eyes just reach your arms out wide

Cut me loose, my parachute won?t let me fly
I?ll survive cuz we got love
Summer days will fade away and pass us by
But we?ll survive cuz we got love
Think of what we had, we got love
And it?s all we had, we got love
Think of what we had, we got love

Don ?t need a tune with a view on the Westside
Just wanna wake up at your side
Cuz when you know it, you know it
In the blink of a moment
It?s like I?m, like I?m, like I?m falling for the first time

Cut me loose, my parachute won?t let me fly
I?ll survive cuz we got love
Summer days will fade away and pass us by
But we?ll survive cuz we got love
Think of what we had, we got love
And it?s all we had, we got love
Think of what we had, we got love

matthew koma - spectrum

Breathing you in when I want you out
Finding our truth in a hope of doubt
Lying inside our quiet drama

Wearing your heart like a stolen dream
Opening skies with your broken keys
No one can blind us any longer

We'll run where lights won't chase us
Hide where love can save us
I will never let you go

We'll run where lights won't chase us
Hide where love can save us
I will never let you go

Breathing you in when I want you out
Finding our truth in a hope of doubt
Lying inside our quiet drama

[Long back-beat]

Hide where love can save us
I will never let you go

We'll run where lights won't chase us

matthew koma - girls in their shorts in the summer

It was late in a July heat wave in the parking lot of 7-Eleven
She was sipping on cherry-pink lemonade
in denim jean shorts
She said her name was Heaven
She was a friend of one of my friend's friends
And I wonder if I'll ever see her again oh oh oh

I watch the girls in their shorts in the summer
Watch the girls in their shorts in the summer oh oh oh
All of the girls in their shorts make me wonder where's
My girl in her shorts in the summer oh oh oh
Denim white skin tight cut-off with 'em socks
Are shorter than the sun rise oh oh oh
Candy apple corduroys, pictures with the Polaroid
All the girls watch the boys watch the girls in the summer
Oh oh oh oh
All the girls watch the boys watch the girls in the summer

Every word she spoke could be put in quotes
over the beaches
And an aeroplane now wrote her name
high in the sky, to see if it reaches
She was a friend of one of my friend's
friend's friend's friends
I wonder if I'll ever see her again oh oh oh
I watch the girls in their shorts in the summer
Watch the girls in their shorts in the summer

All of the girls in their shorts make me wonder
Where's my girl in her shorts in the summer oh oh oh
Denim white skin tight cut-off with 'em socks
Are shorter than the sun rise oh oh oh
Candy apple corduroys, pictures with the Polaroid
All the girls watch the boys watch the girls in the summer
Oh oh oh oh
All the girls watch the boys watch the girls in the summer

First I'd obsessed December sinking in
I wish I could spend my June July somewhere with you
Oh oh oh ohh oh ohh ohh
I watch the girls in their shorts in the summer
Watch the girls in their shorts in the summer oh oh oh
All of the girls in their shorts make me wonder where's

My girl in her shorts in the summer oh oh oh
Denim white skin tight cut-off with 'em socks
Are shorter than the sun rise oh oh oh
Candy apple corduroys, pictures with the Polaroid
All the girls watch the boys watch the girls in the summer
Oh oh oh oh
All the girls watch the boys watch the girls in the summer

matthew koma - kisses back

I want my kisses back from you
I'm takin' all my kisses back from you
And every breath you held on to
I'm takin' all my kisses back from you
Give me the hello's and goodbyes
And pack up every morning and goodnight
I want the sunrises and moons
I'm takin' all my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you

I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you
Kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back from you
I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you
Kisses back, I want my kisses back
I'm takin' all my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you

So this is what goodbyes are said for
But I don't even know you no mores
Well, you crawl on your begging knees
"Oh, don't hate me, don't hate me, please"
You want me to forgive, forget you
As easy as these lips impress you
And undress what you said was mine
No more lying, no

I want my kisses back from you
I'm takin' all my kisses back from you
And every breath you held on to
I'm takin' all my kisses back from you
Give me the hello's and goodbyes
And pack up every morning and goodnight
I want the sunrises and moons
I'm takin' all my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you

Kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back from you
Kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back from you
I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you
Kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back from you

All the sweeter nothing's I said
Way your legs would cross me in bed
Motion pictures you took of us
Lost the color, your cheeks were blush
Our future is a memory at best
Don't bother trying to reach or connect
Like the shade of your lipstick font
You were put on

Now, I want my kisses back from you
I'm takin' all my kisses back from you
And every breath you held on to
I'm takin' all my kisses back from you
Give me the hello's and goodbyes
And pack up every morning and goodnight
I want the sunrises and moons
I'm takin' all my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you

I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you
Kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back from you
I want my kisses back, I want my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you
Kisses back, I want my kisses back
I'm takin' all my kisses back
I want my kisses back from you

matthew koma - one night

You think you're the new sexy
In a white mercedes that bends me to the grave
You make casual messy
And all materials possess you like a slave
You're custom made
Don't take this swim for more than it is
It's one night, one night, one night

Chew my love
Under your tongue like it's your
Bubblegum
You're blowin' bubbles 'til
The taste is gone
You're coming over for the night
One night, one night, one night

Chew my love
Under your tongue like it's your
Bubblegum
Just spit me out when it becomes
More than fun
Cause I'm coming over for the night
One night, one night, one night

Conversation is violent
Baby you're too digital
Arbitrated physical
But keep me under your ceiling
Cause your concrete's chippin' in
Crumbling like grease on me, oh no
Don't take this swim for more than it is
It's one night, one night, one night

Chew my love
Under your tongue like it's your
Bubblegum
You're blowin' bubbles 'til
The taste is gone
You're coming over for the night
One night, one night, one night

Chew my love
Under your tongue like it's your
Bubblegum
Just spit me out when it becomes
More than fun
Cause I'm coming over for the night
One night, one night, one night

And now I'll pull you in close
It's a sweet and sour high
When you promise not to try
If I promise that I'd lie
We can drink the punch for this one last time
Just one more last time

Chew my love
Under your tongue like it's your
Bubblegum
You're blowin' bubbles 'til
The taste is gone
You're coming over for the night
One night, one night, one night

Chew my love
Under your tongue like it's your
Bubblegum
Just spit me out when it becomes
More than fun
Cause I'm coming over for the night
One night, one night, one night
One night, one night, one night
One night

Just spit me out when it becomes more than fun

matthew koma - so fkin romantic

I'm so fuckin' romantic
That you can't even handle it
I'm California magic
And I can keep your candle lit
We could sail the oceans
And swim in the Atlantic
You could say I'm hopeless
But I'm so fuckin' romantic

I'm so fuckin' romantic
I'm so fuckin' romantic
I'm so fuckin' romantic

Flash, my camera going off
I'll be your paparazzi all night long
Splash, bubbles for days
Spoil you rotten, chocolate and flames

We could sail the oceans
Swim in the Atlantic
You could say I'm hopeless
But I'm so fuckin' romantic
I'm so fuckin' romantic
That you can't even handle it
I'm California magic
And I can keep your candle lit
We could sail the oceans
And swim in the Atlantic
You could say I'm hopeless
But I'm so fuckin' romantic

I'm so fuckin' romantic
I'm so fuckin' romantic

Cash raining on us
Designer clouds and beds white as dust
Class, I'll treat you like the queen
My Cleopatra, Madonna baby

We could sail the oceans
Swim in the Atlantic
You could say I'm hopeless
But I'm so fuckin' romantic
I'm so fuckin' romantic
I'm so fuckin' romantic
That you can't even handle it
I'm California magic
And I can keep your candle lit
We could sail the oceans
And swim in the Atlantic
You could say I'm hopeless
But I'm so fuckin' romantic

I'm so fuckin' romantic
I'm so fuckin' romantic
I'm so fuckin' romantic

matthew koma - suitcase

You look like Sundays with my ex eating breakfast
With your arms across your chest like a cross
She wore my trust around her neck 'til it hung her
My baby she was clinically obsessed
Our identity was physical but less
Every now and then her noise inside my head
Reenters

She said I remember loving you
All of the good shit and all the bad shit too
Yeah I remember hating you
For all the right things you never tried to do
I remember needing you
Call me an addict to your elastic moods
I?m packing every memory that we made
In a suitcase

You?re on a train I used to wreck
With the bullets of the least of my respect
I wish there was a shot I could regret
But there isn?t
Yeah there were tongues I spoke in heat that
I never meant to say or meant to mean
In the shop or when I see her in my sleep
In visions

She said I remember loving you
All of the good shit and all the bad shit too
Yeah I remember hating you
For all the right things you never tried to do
I remember needing you
Call me an addict to your elastic moods
I?m packing every memory that we made
In a suitcase

I know you hate it when I say I?m sorry
But I?m sorry
Oh ooh woah oh ooh woah oh ooh woah oh
Oh ooh woah oh ooh woah oh ooh woah oh
Oh ooh woah oh ooh woah oh ooh woah oh
Oh

She said I remember loving you
All of the good shit and all the bad shit too
Yeah I remember hating you
For all the right things you never tried to do
I remember needing you
Call me an addict to your elastic moods
I?m packing every memory that we made
In a suitcase
In a suitcase

You look like Sundays with my ex eating breakfast
With your arms across your chest like a cross
She wore my trust around her neck 'til it hung her

matthew koma - find you

Silent love is calling faith
To shatter me through your hallways
Into echoes you can feel
And rehearse the way you heal

Make them dance
Just like you
'Cause you make me move
Yeah, you always make me go

I'll run away with your foot steps
I'll build a city that dreams for two
And if you lose yourself
I will find you

High on words
We almost used
We're fireworks with a wet fuse
Flying planes with paper wheels
To the same achilles heels

Make them dance
Just like you
'Cause you make me move
Yeah, you always make me go

I'll run away with your foot steps
I'll build a city that dreams for two
And if you lose yourself
I will find you

Yeah you always make me go

Open up your skies
Turn up your night
To the speed of life
Turn up your night
Put your love in lights
Turn up your night

I will find you

Make them dance
Just like you
'Cause you make me move
Yeah, you always make me go

I'll run away with your foot steps
I'll build a city that dreams for two
And if you lose yourself
I will find you

Yeah you always make me go
Turn up your night
Turn up your night
Turn it up, turn it up
Turn up your night
I will find you

Make them dance
Just like you
'Cause you make me move
Yeah, you always make me go

matthew koma - tempted

Hands to yourself
Undo your leather belt, you wear me out so well
Get a prize on the shelf, and polka dot pastels
Oh won't you kiss and tell me

(Will you burn for me? Burn for me? Momma turn for me?
I see my name in your life)
(Burn for me? Burn for me?)
Don't make me hurt like hell for your heaven tonight

(Oh, I'm) Tempted! And hungry for you
To let your heart [?]
(Oh, I'm) Tempted! It's physically cruel
Watching you angels put on your red dancing shoes
(I'm tempted!)
(I'm tempted!)

[Verse 2]

(Oh, I'm) Tempted! And hungry for you
To let your heart [?]
(Oh, I'm) Tempted! It's physically cruel
Watching you angels put on your red dancing shoes
(I'm tempted!)
(I'm tempted!)

[Pre-Chorus]

(Oh, I'm) Tempted! And hungry for you
To let your heart [?]
(Oh, I'm) Tempted! It's physically cruel
Watching you angels put on your red dancing shoes
(I'm tempted!)
(I'm tempted!)
(Oh, I'm) Tempted! And hungry for you
To let your heart [?]
(Oh, I'm) Tempted! It's physically cruel
Watching you angels put on your red dancing shoes
(I'm tempted!)
(I'm tempted!)

matthew koma - voyeur

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

She throws his arms around her neck
Drinks him like he is Jesus
The broken neon sign outside
Spies like a voyeur through the glass

She smokes her cigarettes and goes
Inside his leather wallet
Flips by the picture of his wife
To get to Benjamin and rent

He takes her to the train on Essex
He leaves her with his coat and ethics
He sees her in the headlights
And his face turns white

Was her body like oh oh
Was she on ya like oh oh
Tell me did she taste like sweet surrender?
Was it hot to think I knew?
And you're preaching like oh oh
Was she screaming like oh oh
Tell me does it get you off to watch me watching you?

His faith was loaded as a drunk
Strung out and in denial
How could he inhale then break his
Ten year hallelujah in a van?

Presses her ring against his chest
Asks him if she was worth it
Didn't pay to come
Paid for someone to pretend they gave a shit

You don't know what you put me through, love
A white wedding with a few, no real love
The wings out on the tightrope
With the side wings broke

With a body like oh oh
Was she on ya like oh oh
Tell me did she taste like sweet surrender?
Was it hot to think I knew?
Were you preaching like oh oh
Was she screaming like oh oh
Tell me does it get you off to watch me watching you?

I'm only sorry till I do it again, he said
She said, I hate him but I love him to death
I'm only sorry till I do it again, he said
She said, I hate him but I love him
I hate him but I love him

Was her body like
Was she on ya like
Was she preaching like
Was she screaming like

Was her body like oh oh
Was she on ya like oh oh
Tell me did she taste like sweet surrender?
Was it hot to think I knew?
Were you preaching like oh oh
Was she screaming like oh oh
Tell me does it get you off to watch me watching you?

Tell me did she taste like sweet surrender?
Was it hot to think I knew?

matthew koma - years

The sun hits like a bullet of faith
And then suddenly I'm wide awake
Fake bliss, our apologies made
Was an enemy with no escape
My hands were tied
But now they're mine
So grab on to desire and run away

These will be the years
These will be the years
The lights will all appear
These will be the years

Years
These will be the years
Years

Grey dust now sparkling gold
And the best is yet to unfold
White heat found in comfort
And cold and a heart was found in her soul
Her hands were tied
But now they're mine
So grab on and where ever you'll go I'll go

These will be the years
These will be the years
The lights will all appear
These will be the years
Years
These will be the years

These will be the years
These will be the years
The lights will all appear
These will be the years
