Matt Nathanson - Some Mad Hope (2007) by Matt Nathanson (보컬) on maniadb.com

I'm wide awake and so alive
Ringing like a bell
tell me this is paradise
And not some place I fell
'Cause I keep on falling down

I want to feel the car crash
I want to feel the capsize
I want to feel the bomb drop, the earth stop, till I'm satisfied
I want to feel the car crash cause I'm dying on the inside
I want to let go and know that I'll be alright
Alright

Push me till I have to fly
I've shed my skin, my scars
And take me deep out past the lights
Where nothing dims these stars
Nothing dims these stars

I want to feel the car crash
I want to feel the capsize
I want to feel the bomb drop, the earth stop, till I'm satisfied
I want to feel the car crash cause I'm dying on the inside
I want to let go and know that I'll be alright
Alright

So right, so long

I miss the sound of your voice
I miss the rush of your skin
I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in

If I could walk on water
If i could tell you whats next
Make you believe
Make you forget

Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said

If I could walk on water
If I could tell you whats next
Make you believe
Make you forget

Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I miss the pull of your heart
I taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils and god when you come on
Hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on....
(sing shaa la la la laa
Ouuu)

Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me
Drown me in love

It's all wrong
It's all wrong
It's all wrong, its so right

Come on get higher
Come on and get higher
Because everything works love
Because everything works in your arms

let's all pack up and move this year
we'll slip the liars and disappear
we'll leave memories for auctioneers
and those just standing still

they'll miss the taste of wanted you
call out your name, like i still do
but they haven't said a word that's true
and they only hold you down

in this heartbreak world of just imagine
with its tired talk of better days

in this heartbreak world, where nothing matters
come on, let's make this dream that's barely half awake come true

let's move out of los angeles
and just drive until this summer gives
and forget the lives we used to live
cause we're gone

in this heartbreak world of just imagine
with its tired talk of better days
in this heartbreak world, where nothing matters
come on, let's make this dream that's barely half awake come true

love,
I'm aching to believe
give me something real enough
give me somewhere to fall from

'cause in the dark
I can't find my feet
built my world on promises
colorless and cold

I'm short of breath, I'm sure
gone, let it wash away the best I had
gone, and when I disappear
don't expect me back, don't expect me back

lost, sweetest things get lost
in the static far away
painted pictures of you
I fold
don't want to be holy then
don't want to be sold again
the way I was with you

I'm short of breath, I'm sure
gone let it wash away the best I had

gone and when I disappear
don't expect me back, don't expect me back

I'm short of breath, I'm sure
gone, let it wash away
the best I had
gone, and when I disappear
don't expect me back
don't expect me back

at its worse the heart is sober
at its worse the heart is cold, cold, cold

I'm short of breath, I'm sure
gone, let it wash away all the best I had
gone, and when I disappear
don't expect me, don't expect me back

gone, let it wash away
the best I had
gone, and when I disappear
don't expect me back
don't expect me back
don't expect me back

So we lie here in the dark
All the wrong things on fire
In sickness and in health
To be with you, just to be with you

And in your wedding dress, to have and to hold
Even at my best, I want to let go

And you hold me in your arms
When all that I can see
Is my future in your hands
And all that I can feel
Is how long ever after is
When it's all that I can do
To be with you, just to be with you

In your wedding dress, to have and to hold
And even at my best, I want to let go

Thought I lost you
Thought I lost you, I gave you away
Thought I lost you
Been jealous of the moon for how it moves the waves

In your wedding dress, to have and to hold
Even at my best, I want to let go

And I want to be somebody else now
And I want to thicken my skin
And I want to wish it all, just wish it all away again, again, again

And I want to be somebody else
And I want to be holding you in
And I want to be missing you, love, missing you, love
With all that I have left to give, to give, to give

somewhere in between the beginning and the end
september took the tourists and settled in for good
we could hear the trains again
brooklyn girls in scarves
summer left and no one said a word
and we'd open your window and stay in your bed
all day 'til the streetlights came on

what happened to bulletproof weeks in your arms
what happened to feeling cheap radio songs
what happened to thinking he world was flat
what happened to that

so up on 59th st. right before the rains

lovers catching taxis going downtown
i'm talking to what's left of you
i'm watching what i say

counting all the freckles on your perfect face
you open your window, i sit on your bed
just waiting for right words to come

so, what happened to bulletproof weeks in your arms
what happened to feeling cheap radio songs
what happened to thinking he world was flat
what happened to that

was i wrong?

She don't lie in bed at night
Staring at the ceiling
She don't wait to begin
She bets on long shots
She wants what they've got
She skates where the ice thins

On and on, we keep going
Crowded like subway cars
On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts
Our hearts

She was her mother's secret
She was daddy's girl
She brought weekend boys home in her curls
She said, "My love is a fever.
Come on, touch my skin.
They all think I'm easy,
I'm easy, cause I let them win."

On and on, we keep going
Crowded like subway cars
On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts
On and on, we keep going
Crowded like subway cars
On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts
To the beat of our noisy hearts

She said, "Pick up the phone
Cause I need to get more alone
And your voice drives me crazy."

On and on, we keep going
Crowded like subway cars
On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts
On and on, we keep going
Crowded like subway cars
On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts, hearts, hearts
On and on, we keep going
Crowded like subway cars
On and on, to the beat of our noisy hearts

I remember hearts that beat
yeah, yeah
I remember you and me
yeah, oh yeah
tangled in hotel sheets
you wore me out
you wore me out

i remember honey lips,
and words so true.
I remember non-stop earthquake dreams of you
coming on fast like good dreams do...
all night long.
I still can feel you kiss me, love.
still can see your brown skin shine (shining)
still can feel you kiss me, love
come on and drive me wild (wild)

And you move like water
yeah
and you broke like waves
I never been deeper; so far gone
your sister in the next room with the television on
still can feel you kiss me love
still can see your brown skin shine (shining)
still can feel you kiss me love
Come on and drive me wild
Come on and drive me wild
Come on and drive me wild

i remember hearts that beat
yeah
i remember you and me
tangled in hotel sheets (for hours)

i still can feel you kiss me love
still can see your brown skin shine (shining)
still can feel you kiss me love
come on and drive me wild
still can feel you kiss me love
still can see your eyes like diamonds (diamonds)
memories are strong enough
to come on and drive me wild
come on and drive me wild

So, we let it go to start again
Knowing now how all our best intensions
Never lit the world on fire
Lights, illuminate the exit signs
And over the wings the skies an open endless sea
Crowding up surrounding me

And all, Detroit waves
Goodnight
Spread out
Beneath
Me now
If I could, if I could change
Believe me
I would, I would for you
(my love)

And when, you're warm enough to share your sheets
Cold enough to make it seem that I was only there long enough to disappear
You know I'll still, say your name to fall asleep
Over and over a cynic saying rosary
A liar living make believe

And all, of Detroit waves
Goodnight
Spread out
Beneath
Me now
If I could, if I could change
Believe me
I would, yes I would
And Detroit waves

And Detroit waves, goodnight
Spread out
Beneath me now
If I could
If I could change
Believe me
I would
Yes I would
And Detroit Waves
Detroit Waves

Verse 1
Maybe it's because I'm Crazy
Maybe it's because I just can't honestly tell you what I want
It's never enough, to stay still and hold you
To break loose and run the taste of you wild on my tongue

Am I no good to you now
(Am I no good to you)
Am I no good to you now
(Am I no good to you)

Chorus
Woah, wooah
Yeah we're spilling over
Woah, wooah
We're falling apart

I Spent my days with doctors
And my nights with crooks
And all of them would sell me for a song
So I'm here, safe dear
Fixin' in your arm

Am I no good to you now
(Am I no good to you)
Am I no good to you now
(So much I can give)

Were' fallin apart

Woah, wooah
And we're spilling over
Woah, wooah
I'm fallin apart
Woah, wooah
And tear me out
Don't start me over
Forever changed
I shoulda told ya
Woah, wooah
I'm falling apart

And all i say doesn't matter anyway
Yeah all i say doesn't matter anyway
I've given up, so call my bluff,
Cuz I just need to be reminded who I am

I've Fallin apart
Woah, wooah
Yeah we're spillin over
Woah, wooah
I'm fallin apart
I've given up and startin over
I wanna be the one who'll hold you

Fallin' apart
So it'll be love

So come on, now

In the party love,
Some band's playing hallelujah
Hallelujah
In the corner love
All night girls drink wine and try to sing along
I made a mess of things
The stops and in betweens
They weigh me down
You got someone new singing you your songs now

Sooner surrender
Then watch the last wall collapse
And sooner surrender
And our love will count for everything

In my sweetest dreams
It's just you and me
And we break wide
I wake reminded love
How I just gave up
And how you moved on, how you moved on

I'm waiting for something
I've waited for now
For the rolling canyons of love
And i'm tongue tied
And you're coming alive, coming alive

Sooner surrender
Then watch the last wall collapse
And sooner surrender
And our love will count for everything

I'm sorry that you've gone
So sorry that you've gone
I'm sorry that you've gone
Love
I'm sorry that you've gone
So sorry that you've gone away
You're a little bit right
More than a little bit right
With my arms around you

Sooner surrender
Then watch the last wall collapse
And sooner surrender
And our love will count for everything

Sooner surrender
Than watch the last wall collapse I know
Sooner surrender and our love will count for everything
Our love will count for everything
And I miss when you were everything

I tasted, tasted love so sweet
And all of it was lost on me
Bought and sold like property
Sugar on my tongue

I kept falling over
I kept looking backward
I went broke believing
That the simple should be hard

All we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful

I wasted, wasted love for you
Traded out for something new
Well, it's hard to change the way you lose
If you think you've never won

'Cause all we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful

And in the end the words won't matter
'Cause in the end nothing stays the same
And in the end dreams just scatter and fall like rain

'Cause all we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful, something real

All we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful, beautiful
