about

Recorded early 2014 in a basement and a bathroom. I did guitars.

lyrics

I used to stay up all night long watching the sun come down.
Walk at 4am all way across this town.
Summers at 15 never ended, you see.
Insomnia, old friend, won't you come back to me?

I never paid attention to what they had to say
I couldn't find a job so they sent me away.
Too busy daydreaming and chasing women.
All I wanted was to play in band.

I don't understand why you wasted your time on me.
I was a lost cause.
I was an outlaw.
Making out in the hallway.
Skipping school all day.
You were a good girl and I fucked up your world.

Remember all those times that I made you cry?
When we woke up and the sun opened our eyes?
I was so stupid then, why couldn't I see?
We were blinded by insecurity.
You would wait for me after class, but I couldn't make it last.

Then there was those weeks that I spent on the road.
I would pack my bags and leave you at home.
I would count the days until I was free.
On the phone you said: "Matt, won't you come back to me?"

I would send you letters that I hoped got to you.
You said "Without you here there's just nothing to do."
You got tired of waiting and you had to move on.
I couldn't win you back with my writing and songs.

I had left one too many times.
Then you said "Without you I'll be just fine"
I let you go for the last time.
It's for the best, now it's in the past.

When I look back now I realize that I was in love with lies.
Those clean sheets were dirty on both sides.
You found the one you love and it wasn't me.
What I realized you will never see.
I don't need to be with someone to be happy.

You'll grow old, and I'll sit here and sing.
I know one day those wedding bells will ring.
You'll be in love.
And I'll be alone.
But after all these years,
I'm finally fine with that.
