Matchbox 20 (music)

I don't got no reasons, yet
There it is and there it was
It was clear to all of us
We kept this hat of broken dreams
And we pulled them out, when we needed them around
-- Matchbox 20

I
-- Matchbox 20

Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me.
-- Matchbox 20

All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
-- Matchbox 20

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be...me
-- Matchbox 20

I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
-- Matchbox 20

From what I've seen
You're just one more hand me down
Cuz no one's tried to give you
What you need
-- Matchbox 20

Someday they'll find your small town world
On a big town avenue
Gonna make you like the way they talk
When they're talking to you
Gonna make you break out of your shell
Cuz they tell you to
Gonna make you like the way they lie
Better than the truth
They'll tell you everthing
You wanted someone else to say
They're gonna break your heart, yeah
-- Matchbox 20

Someday they'll open up your world
Shake you down to the drawing board
Do their best to change you
They still can't erase you
-- Matchbox 20

This is the sound that I make
These are the words I chose
Somehow the right thing to say
Just won
-- Matchbox 20

I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
but its feeling just like every other morning before,
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone.
-- Matchbox 20

But I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come.
-- Matchbox 20
