Matthew Sweet

Into you so far the words go
So much clearer than you hear
Into you goes everything I know
No one else knows how I feel

Farther down
I'm desperate for you
Where you never have to know
Farther down
I'm still without a clue
Till something
Something takes my pain away

Only chance can change my fortune
So I'm not sure why I try
As if I could swim the ocean
As if you could start to fly

Farther down
I'm desperate for you
Where you never have to know
Farther down
I'm still without a clue
Till something
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain away

Farther down
I'm desperate for you
Where you never have to know
Farther down
I'm still without a clue
Till something
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain away
Something takes my pain away

I wanna love somebody
I hear you need somebody to love
Oh, I wanna love somebody
I hear you're looking for someone to love

'Cause you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend
And I need to
Get back in the arms of a girlfriend

I didn't know nobody
Then I saw you coming my way
No, I didn't know nobody
Then I saw you coming my way

Don't you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend
Oh, cause honey believe me
I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend
Oooh (sidenote: hey, someone's gotta write it in)
Alright

Don't you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend
Oh, cause honey belive me
I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend

'Cause you got a good thing going, baby
You only need somebody to love
Oh, you've got a good thing going
You're only looking for someone to love

'Cause you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend

And I'm never gonna set you free
No, I'm never gonna set you free

I don't know where
I'm gonna live
Don't know if I'll find a place
I'd have to think about it some
Amd that I do not wish to face
I guess that I'm counting on his
Divine intervention

I cannot understand my god
I don't know why it gets to me
One day my life
Is filled with joy
And then we find we disagree
All depending on his
Divine intervention

Alright
[solo]
We're all counting on his...
[divine]

Does he love us?
Does he love us?
Does he love us?
Does he love us?
Hmm now he love us?
I look around
And all I see is destruction
We're all counting on his
Divine intervention

When he comes the sun shine
When he comes the sun shine
Sunshine, the sunshine
Here it comes

When you said to me
You are not so old
Did I know it then?
'Cause I had just been told

I didn't think I'd find you
Perfect in so many ways
But I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to [have you]
I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to

The secret on your lips
That nobody knows
Gentle in your eyes
You can wear my clothes

I didn't think I'd find you
Perfect in so many ways
But I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to [have you]
I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to [have you]
I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to

[solo]

When you said to me
You are not so old
Did I know it then?
'Cause I had just been told

You know I didn't think I'd find you
Perfect in so many ways
But I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to [have you]
I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to have you [have you] [3x]

I've been waiting

I wanna love somebody
I hear you need somebody to love
Oh, I wanna love somebody
I hear you're looking for someone to love

'Cause you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend
And I need to
Get back in the arms of a girlfriend

I didn't know nobody
Then I saw you coming my way
No, I didn't know nobody
Then I saw you coming my way

Don't you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend
Oh, cause honey believe me
I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend
Oooh (sidenote: hey, someone's gotta write it in)
Alright

Don't you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend
Oh, cause honey belive me
I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend

'Cause you got a good thing going, baby
You only need somebody to love
Oh, you've got a good thing going
You're only looking for someone to love

'Cause you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend

And I'm never gonna set you free
No, I'm never gonna set you free

Do you really want to
Run away with me?
Would you really like to
Run away with me?
I can feel very clearly
But no longer see

For oh, looking at the sun
Waiting for you to appear
Watched you getting nearer
Like I knew it was in my heart
'Til the damage was already done
Looking at the sun
Burned my eyes out
And I'm blind now

I was looking for somebody
That you couldn't be
I was looking for somebody
That you will never be
I was so sure that there was
Nothing wrong with ne

For oh, looking at the sun
Waiting for you to appear
Watched you getting nearer
Like I knew it was in my heart
'Til the damage was already done
Looking at the sun
Burned my eyes out
And I'm blind now...I'm blind
[solo]

Do you really want to
Run away with me?
I can feel very clearly
But no longer
Oh, looking at the sun
Waiting for you to appear
Watched you getting nearer
Like I knew it was in my heart
'Til the damage was already done
Looking at the sun
Burned my eyes out
And now I'm blind
Waiting for you to appear
Watched you getting nearer
Like I knew it was in my heart
'Til the damage was already done
Looking at the sun
Burned my eyes out
And I'm blind now
Yeah I'm blind now

I tried to call you
But the line was busy
Were you talking to a friend?
When I tried again much later
I didn't want to let it ring again
So you can see I've got a problem
Back by popular demand
Sometimes I want to
Keep it from you
Sometimes I think
You'll understand

Could you be my
Little movie star?
Could you be my long lost girl?
It's true that
I don't really know you
But I'm alone in the world
[solo]

When I think maybe I need you
I don't care if if it's not true
'Cause it isn't so much
What I need now
As what I want from you

Could you be my
Little movie star?
Could you be my long lost girl?
It's true that
I don't really know you
But I'm alone in the world

Could you be my
Little movie star?
Could you be my long lost girl?
It's true that
I don't really know you

I feel alone
I feel alone

She's on another planet
She's in my dream
She's some kind of angel
If you know what I mean
Try her on
She fits like a glove
Too bad she only thinks about
The lord above

Evangeline Evangeline
I think I love you
But Evangeline Evangeline
I want you

Now if I called you up
Do you think you
Could deliver my soul?
Won't you take a drink
Little darlin'
The cup is full

And every night I bow to pray
But I'll feel a whole lot better
Once you're coming my way

Evangeline Evangeline
I think I love you
But Evangeline Evangeline
I want you

So come on down [solo]

So tell me how you want it
Come on, tell me how you want it
Just tell me how you want it

Just tell me how you want it
We won't be seen
You can tell your father
It was all a dream
[try her on she fits like a glove]
Too bad the only man you trust
Is god above

Evangeline Evangeline
I think I love you
But Evangeline Evangeline
I want you

Now Evangeline Evangeline
I think I love you
But Evangeline Evangeline
I want you

She's some kind of angel
If you know what I mean
Evangeline

What you gave me
I could feel it
Like the warm rays of the sun
Such a small thing
Took me farther
Then I'd been with anyone
What else can I tell you?
My life was simply very bright
So I traded the day for night

Well I love you
And I want you
You should know that anyway
Well I love you
And I want you
Doesn't mean I'll stay

And how much can I tell you
When my brain is terminally light
And so bright
That I traded the day for
Night [solo]

What else can I tell you?
My life is simply very bright
So I traded the day for night
I traded the day for night

I thought I knew you
But I was in for a suprise
I let my love flow
From my heart into your eyes
And then I found out
That there was nothing
I could know
Or guess about you
You'd go as far as you could go

And it took me years to figure out
That there was nothing
I could give to you
Years to figure out
That there was nothing
You would take from me
And how can I describe
The way you slowly put
My hope away
And all of the time
I thought I knew you

I thought I knew you
But I wasn't even close
I had my heart set
On little more than a ghost
And I thought I'd show you
There was no way we could lose
I thought I'd force you
To realize and choose
And it took me years
To figure out
That there was nothing
I could show to you
Years to figure out
That you were never really
Going to choose
And how can I describe
The way I slowly lost
My love for you
And all of the time
I thought I knew you [solo]

And it took me years
To figure out
That there was nothing
I could show to you
Years to figure out
That you were never
Really going to choose
And how can I describe
The way I slowly lost
My love for you
And all of the time
I thought I knew you

What a beautiful moment
The truth comes out at last
Once your heart
Would own me forever
Then this passed
And what a beautiful moment
As my head comes apart
Drunk and
In a manner of saying, wasted

'Cause you don't love me
You don't love me
You can't see how
I matter in this world
Even though I loved you
You can't believe that
If you find something
You think might make you happy
Then I guess it's okay
I think it's okay
If you go away

Blown right out of my senses
I did not know what to do
Lost and badly wanting someone
To see me through
That's why I needed you

But you don't love me
You don't love me
You can't see how
I matter in this world
Even though I loved you

Do just what you want to
I think you're right
I do what I want to do, I do what I want to do
I let the world surround me
'Cause I saw no real harm
I didn't stop to think of you
You were already in my arms
I was wrong but I

I wanted to tell you, I wanted to telly you
What I couldn't say
[love]
I needed to find mine
But it took me a long time to see

Love. . . Well never mind
I know how you feel about that
Now what do you think about time
[something. . . ]

I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you
What I couldn't say
[love]
I needed to find mine
But it took me a long time to see

[solo]

I do what I want to do, I do what I want to do
I do what I want to do, I do what I want to do
I let the world surround me
'Cause I saw no real harm
I didn't stop to think of you,
You were already in my arms
But there was something. . .

I wanted to tell you, I wanted to tell you
What I couldn't say
[love]
I needed to find mine
But it took me a long time to see

[solo]

Love

Don't go
Don't let my love drive you away
there is so much
I have left to say
Oh don't go
Don't bring my nightmare
To the day
There is so much
I have left to say

Come back
You know I wrote another song
They keep telling me
The pat is gone
But it looks like
My evil deeds are coming 'round
I can't watch them
Put you in the ground
Oh don't go
I can't watch them
Put you in the ground
Don't go
[solo]

Don't go
Don't make me
Have to say goodbye
'Cause I need to look
You in the eye
Oh don't go
I still need to look you in the eye
Don't go
I still need to look you in the eye
Don't go
No don't go

Speak to me with your sweet voice
And take me through another night
Speak to me with your sweet voice
And I will surely be alright

If I can close my eyes without a fear
Speak to me with your sweet voice
Near

Hold me in your warm hand
And I could sleep with you tonight
Hold me in your warm hand
And I could sleep with you tonight

And all my earthly cares might fade away
If you hold me in your warm hand that way

It's as close as I get to love
As close as I get to love
Speak to me with your sweet voice
Again
[solo]

Speak to me with your sweet voice
And take me through another night
Speak to me with your sweet voice
And I will surely be alright

If I can close my eyes without a fear
Speak to me with your sweet voice
Near
Speak to me with your sweet voice
That way
Speak to me with your sweet voice

She's just your size
She's sexy she's beautiful
Does she talk?
She's just your size
She's sexy she's beautiful
Does she talk?
'Cause man you can't teach
A slithering snake how to talk

Did she lick your palm
To tell you your fortune tonight?
Did she lick your palm
To tell you your fortune tonight?
You know sometimes it just isn't worth
Putting up a fight, is it?
[solo]

Gonna need you a key
To open the door to her heart
Gonna need you a key
To open the door to her heart
Or are you afraid her body is
Missing that part?

Well I can *** you up the ***
You can *** me up the ***
Alright
Well I can *** you up the ***
You can *** me up the ***
Alright
Because they took channel 23
Off the air last night
Down home

You're gonna like it
You're gonna like it

I've spent twenty years learning to live
In a world that takes back all that it gives
But I do not want a war

I don't know what's going on
In the scenes behind
I worry about it some of the time
And I hope there's not a war

'Cause I'm not in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand

And I would walk across highways
To find my fate
If that might settle your crude debate
But I do not want a war

'Cause I'm not in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand

Feeding the promised land
With your blood by my own hand
At allah's own command
At allah's own command

I came up from the desert and here I will die
Tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye
Though I didn't want a war

I went in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand
As if there's a god who would understand
I went in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there's a god who would understand
As if there's a god who would understand
Oh yeah

If one could stop time
Or make it up
If tow could realize
the best of luck
If I could locate
A god above
And you only wanted to be loved
Then I'd try to hang on to the past
But you know that nothing
Oh no nothing lasts
Nothing lasts

It's time to move on
Let the past go
I've waited for you here
But you never showed
Although I asked you
To let me know
I only felt a cold wind blow
While I tried to hang on to the past
But you know that nothing
Oh no nothing lasts

Nothing's in your way
Now you can stand right up and run
Woudln't even change things
If you took back what you'd done
I have tried to hang on to the past
But I couldn't keep my grasp
'Cause nothing lasts
Nothing lasts
Nothing lasts
