Listen To Matthew Sweet!!!

I’ve Been Waiting

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

I’ve been waiting [waiting]
I’ve been waiting [waiting]
I’ve been waiting [waiting]
I’ve been waiting [waiting]

We’re The Same

I don’t have to speak, and you know what I’m thinking
You don’t need to hear what I say,
I don’t have to ask, ’cause you’ll guess what I’m seeking
You don’t need to hide what you know

Baby we’re the same, when we fail in each other’s eyes
Baby we’re the same, so you should not be suprised
When I swear to you, I never told you what to do
Maybe it’s me. Maybe it’s you

I don’t have to act, so you’ll know what I’m feeling
You don’t need to see to believe

Baby we’re the same, when we shine in each other’s sky
Baby we’re the same, so you should not be suprised
When I swear to you, I never told you what to do
Sometimes it’s me. Sometimes it’s you

Baby we’re the same, when we fail in each other’s eyes
Baby we’re the same, so you should not be suprised
When I swear to you, I never told you what to do
Maybe it’s me
Maybe it’s you
Maybe it’s you

Your Sweet Voice

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

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…

Trade Places

Inside my deepest feelings
I know you won’t do wrong
Don’t say that I believe you
Because you know it’s true

You’ve looked for something greater than this
I promise you it doesn’t exist
And I wouldn’t trade places for what I know

But I’ll do something for you
No one else is going to do
Amplify your expectations
Transfer all my fears to you

You’ve looked for something greater than this
I promise you it doesn’t exist
And I wouldn’t trade places for what I know

But I’ll do something for you
No one else is going to do

You’ve looked for something greater than this
I promise you it doesn’t exist
And I wouldn’t trade places for what I know
No I wouldn’t trade places for what I know
I wouldn’t trade places for what I know

But I’ll do something for you
No one else is going to do

Get Older

Who cares if they don’t think your cool?
They make everything about rules
And your older than that now
Get older
The world will fall into its place
You may be sad
When you get older
You might be happy just to stay

Who cares if you don’t know what you want
‘Cause they don’t know what they’ve got
And you cannot resist
Get older
Your memories won’t slip away
And you’ll be glad
When you get older
That you were happy for today
Who cares?

Get older
The world will fall into its place
You may be sad
When you get older
You might be happy just to stay
Resist
Get older
Your memories won’t slip away
And you’ll be glad
When you get older
That you were happy for today
Who cares?

If you don’t know what you want
If you don’t know what you want
If you don’t know what you want
If you don’t know what you want

All Over My Head

Bad blood set you up for a fall
Think you’re so smart that you’re fooling us all
But it seems, there must of been something wrong
Say you’ll get back if you have to crawl

Well it’s a fat chance that you’ll make it at all
And it seems, you must of done something wrong

And I remember what you said
It was all over my head
But now it’s coming back to me

You don’t have the system beat, no
You’re traveling down a one way street
Like the rest of us
You must of done something wrong

And I remember what you said
That it’s all over my head
But now it’s coming back to me
And I remember what you said
It was all over my head
But now it’s coming back to me

You must of done something wrong
It was all over my head
You must of done something wrong
It was all over my head

Smog Moon

There’s a smog moon, in the amber sky, wavering and burning like a golden lie
I fell so far, I didn’t think I’d make it back
We are all made, as an afterthought,
Destined to believe that we are what we are not
I’m afraid, but I don’t need to tell you that

There’s a smog moon coming I can always feel it
The cartoon trees cannot conceal it
When it’s high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white
When it’s high up in the sky, it almost looks like

There’s a lost man, with a bitter soul, Only for a moment,
Did life make him whole
And while he was, he thought he was invincible

There’s a smog moon coming I can always feel it
The cartoon trees cannot conceal it
When it’s high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white
When it’s high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white

They’re not your words, but you’re reciting the lines
You don’t mean a thing, but you exist in their minds
How does it feel, when they have turned out the lights?
‘Cause you know they sooner would get rid of you, than fight.

And the dark night, has the strongest pull
We both know that staying young, can take its toll
Are you afraid of finding out you’re over that

There’s a smog moon coming I can always feel it
The cartoon trees cannot conceal it
When it’s high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white
When it’s high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white
When it’s high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white
When it’s high up in the sky, it almost looks like
It’s white
