I should have never let you go (always another)
I need this more than you will know, but there's always another
a million byways and highways and there's always another
someone else to pay your way and try to take your innocence
there's always heartbreak

-CHORUS-
I hold steady while you're shaking me loose
you keep breaking me down but I still ain't over you
I've been living like there's nothing to lose
and I'm telling you now that I still ain't over you

I keep your letters by my bed and there's always another
I hear your voice inside my head and there's always another
a waste of time wasted our days and there's always another
someone else to make you suffer
make you think this whole thing over

-CHORUS-

I still ain't over you
you're breaking me down and I still ain't over you
and I got nothing to lose and I still ain't over you

I hold steady while you're shaking me loose
you keep breaking me down but I still ain't over you
I've been living like there's nothing to lose
and i'm telling you now that I still ain't home

I ain't home
I've been sleeping around but I still ain't over you
I got nothing to lose, oh no
I still ain't over you

here we stand
somewhere in between this moment and the end
will we bend?
or will we open up and take this whole thing in?
everybody else is smiling and their smiles dont fade
and you dont even wonder why you just dont think that way
maybe you and me got lost somewhere, we can't move or we can't stay here
well maybe we've just had enough, well maybe we aint meant for this love
you and me tried everything
but still that mocking bird wont sing
well man this life seems hard enough
well maybe we aint meant for this love

Take my hand
and I will lead you through the broken promise land
yes I can, ah yes I can
I can be there when you need it, i'll give it all till you can't feel it anymore
I don't wanna love you now, if you'll just leave someday
I don't wanna turn around, if you'll just walk away
maybe you and me got lost somewhere, we can't move or we can't stay here
well maybe we've just had enough, well maybe we aint meant for this love
you and me tried everything
but still that mocking bird wont sing
well man this life seems hard enough
well maybe we aint meant for this love

maybe you and me got lost somewhere, we can't move or we can't stay here
well maybe we've just had enough, well maybe we aint meant for this love
you and me tried everything
but still that mocking bird wont sing
well man this life seems hard enough
well maybe we aint meant for this love

maybe we aint meant for this love
maybe we aint meant for this love

Hey yeah, welcome to the real world Nobody told you it was gonna be hard
You said Hey yeah I can't believe it,
I bearly started now I'm falling apart,
and it's hard

Standing at the crossroads
but having all the answers, never helped me out no
all the better
Boom shake, helps me awake
I need some coffee and maybe a shave
And it's a pretty bad way to start my today
Turn on the radio and what does he say?
He says, Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard
You said Hey yeah I can't believe it,
I bearly started now I'm falling apart,

and the stars
they were shining through the window
Yeah, feel a little moon glow
Kinda like a rainbow

all the better...Boom shake, now i'm awake
I think it's over but it's everyday
And it's a pretty fine mess I'm starting to make
I couldn't tell you I was never afraid
sayin' Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard
You said Hey yeah I can't believe it,
I bearly started now I'm falling apart
Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard
You said Hey yeah I can't believe it,
I bearly started now I'm falling apart

Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard
You said Hey yeah I can't believe it,
I bearly started now I'm falling apart
Hey yeah, welcome to the real world
Nobody told you it was gonna be hard
You said Hey yeah I can't believe it,
I bearly started now I'm falling apart
ahh, welcome to the real world
ahh, welcome to the real world
ahh welcome to the real world

ps. I am pretty sure this is my favorite song on the new album.

fire on the mountain
through the freeze, save yourself
there's evil in the garden
but you don't see it, I can tell

how do you sleep while the city's burning?
where do you go when you can't go home?
how do you drink when there's blood in the water?
where do you turn when the world moves on?
when the world moves on

fire on the mountain
you can feel it against your skin
you're standing by the river
let the river take you in

how do you sleep while the city's burning?
where do you go when you can't go home?
how do you drink when there's blood in the water?
where do you turn when the world moves on?
when the world moves on
when the world moves on

hell, I see smoke out on the horizon
mama, get your baby, take her down to the water
I view the wind like a promise broken
I see the future but it's getting farther
I see smoke out on the horizon
mama, get your baby, take her down to the water
I view the wind like a promise broken
I see the future but it's getting farther

how do you sleep while the city's burning?
where do you go when you can't go home?
how do you drink when there's blood in the water?
where do you turn when the world moves on?
when the world moves on
when the world moves on
when the world moves on
when the world moves on

You can go
You can start all over again
You can try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide
Hold all your feelings inside
You can try to carry on when all you wanna do is cry

And maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now that
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

Now we wait
And try to find another mistake
If you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind
You can run
And when everything is over and done
You can shine a little light on everything around you
Man it’s good to be someone

And maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now that
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

I don’t wanna wait
I just wanna know
I just wanna hear you tell me so
Give it to me straight
Tell it to me slow

‘Cuz maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
We’ll put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to just to feel better now
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

‘Cuz sometimes we don’t really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over, again

‘Cuz sometimes we don’t really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over, again

You're the best thing I've ever knew
You do everything that I can't do
Sometimes I get lost in my blues
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Alright
You and me got so much to prove
you're the only thing that I can't lose
The nights are peaceful here in our room
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Cuz I didn't mean to be mean when I said
all the things I said to you.
And maybe the worst is the best I can do with you
And I never want you to go but I know
how they're movin' way to slow
and I fall apart because it's all that I know
I know, I know, yeah I know
Where you runnin' now baby blue
please don't let it take me far from you
I've been restless, I've been a fool
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you

Feeling worn down
Like a piece of glass
It doesn’t take too much to get yourself to feed your monkey
Tell some white lies, they can swallow them
You don’t see just how you got into this situation

Late at night,
Late at night you weep for something better than the secrets you keep laying down,
Just lay down here close to me,
And tell me what you want from me.

And I said Hey now,
Give me the meltdown,
Take it out on me this time around,
Oh no it aint over now I can feel the world spinning round and round and round

Hey now,
Give me the meltdown,
Take it out on me don’t let me down,
Oh no it aint over now I can feel the world spinning round and round and round.

Wide awake now and your monkey’s dead
You’re so perfect that you never really need nobody
Put your hands down, you’re among your friends
You just take and take and take and take and take and take and

Late at night, late at night
You weep but so no better than the secrets you keep
Stay down, just lay down here close to me
Pretend you’re never leaving me.
And I said Hey now,
Give me the meltdown,
Take it out on me this time around,
Oh no it aint over now I can feel the world spinning round and round and round

Hey now,
Give me the meltdown,
Take it out on me don’t let me down,
Oh no it aint over now I can feel the world spinning round and round and round.

Tell me what you want child
Give me the meltdown,
Take it out on me this time around,
Oh no it aint over now I can feel the world spinning round and round and round

Hey now,
Give me the meltdown,
Take it out on me don’t let me down,
Oh no it aint over now I can feel the world spinning round and round and round.
Hey now,
Give me the meltdown,
Oh no it aint over now I can feel the world spinning round and round and round.

Oh what the hell she says
I just can't win for losing
And she lays back down
Man there's so many times
I don't know what I’m doin'
Like I don't know now

By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Says it's funny how the night
Can make you blind
I can just imagine
And I don't know what I’m supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be

And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She’s down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

She sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
And I know I could break her concentration
But it don't feel right

By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there's something less about her
And I don't know what I’m supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
And don't let her see

And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She’s down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

She shuts out the night
Tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight
She’ll be all right
She’ll be all right
Just not tonight

And she says oooh
I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can't help her now
She’s down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

Snow, who is The Most Amazing & Awesome Chic in the world today, sent me a text last night asking me what the name of the new Matchbox Twenty song was.
I raised a confused eyebrow and sent her back a text saying that Rob Thomas hadn't called me to approve any new MB20 songs yet so she surely must be confused.
But confused she was not.
And shocked I was.
(*Ok, enough Yoda talk, lol. -- no offense Yoda! :P)
Evidentally, Rob bypassed me this time on the song approval. Surely a grevious error on his part and I'm sure he will call any second to apologize.
In the meantime, they do have a new song out! AND A NEW ALBUM COMING OUT OCTOBER SECOND!!!
And do you know what that means people?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
Another tour BABY!
And who is going to go?
Um yeah, THAT WOULD BE ME!
God, I could do a friggen cartwheel right now.
:)
So, click on this picture (below) to go their website and listen to the new song :)
