Song For You

matchbox 20- the difference

slow dancing on the boulevard

in the quiet moments while the city is still dark

sleepwalking through the summer rain and the tired spaces

you could hear her name when she was warm and tender

and you held her arms around you

there was nothing but her love and affection

she was crazy for you

now she's part of something that you lost

and for all you know

this could be

the difference between what you need

and what you wanna be

yeah what you wanna be

night swimming in her diamond dress

making small circles move across the surface

stand watching from the steady shore

feeling wide open and waiting for

something warm and tender

now she's moving further from you

there was nothing that could make it easy on you

every step you take reminds you that she's walking wrong

yeah for all you know

this could be

the difference between what you need

and what you want

every word you never said

echoes down your empty hallway

and everything that was your world

just came down

day breaking on the boulevard

feel the sun warming up your second hand heart

light swimming right across your face

and you think maybe someday yeah

maybe someday

for all you know

yeah this could be

the difference between what you need

and what you want

yeah for all you know

for all you know

yeah for all that you know

this is what you wanna be

girl what you wanna be

so sad so lonely (bonus song)

i found out

on a late night drive

in my winter coat

with my blood-shot eyes

my faith ain't been

no friend to me

and the way i sin

is hanging off of me

and i'm sorry

you can't take me anywhere

pretty soon we're almost there

baby one more night

it's been a longlong drive

and i'm way way tired

i don't need no

back-up plan

i don't want nobody

nobody don't want me

i'm so sad so lonely

but i'm always landing on my feet

one more time

with a sad sad smile

and your white bread friends

in the circus life

all the one-way rides

the sweet beginners

passing on the left-hand side

with a sideways smile

and i'm always

one step from stalling

bad trips can make great stories

dance all night

with your ass on fire

and your hands up high

and feel me one more time

i learn to love myself

and i don't need no one else

and when a love moves on

cuz it gets cold

then another moves in

and it can fill the hole

i'm one more

hopeful lying on the bedroom floor

no sense trying

when the whole thing drops

you lose your nerve

i hope you get what you deserve

end
