Matchbox Twenty Lyrics

3 A.M.

She says its cold outside and she hands me my raincoat
Shes always worried about things like that
She says its all gonna end and it might as well be my fault
And she only sleeps when its raining
And she screams and her voice is straining

She says baby
Its 3am I must be lonely
When she says baby
Well I cant help but be scared of it all sometimes
Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it

Shes got a little bit of something, God its better than nothing
And in her color portrait world she believes that shes got it all
She swears the moon dont hang quite as high as it used to
And she only sleep when its raining
And she screams and her is straining

She says baby
Its 3am I must be lonely
When she says baby
Well I cant help but be scared of it all sometimes
Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it

She believes that life is made up of all that youre used to
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days, and days
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
But outside its stopped raining

She says baby
Its 3am I must be lonely
When she says baby
Well I cant help but be scared of it all sometimes
Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it

Push
She said I dont know if Ive ever been good enough
Im a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I dont know if Ive ever really been loved
By the hand thats touched me, well I feel like something gonna give
And I'm a little bit angry, well

This aint over, no not here, not while I still need you
Around
You dont owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good

I wanna push you around, I will, I will
I wanna push you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted
I wanna take you for granted
I will

She said I dont know why you ever would lie to me
Like Im a little untrusting when I think that the truth is
Gonna hurt ya
And I dont why you couldnt just stay with me
You couldnt stand to be near me
When my face dont seem to want to shine cuz its a little bit dirty well

Dont just stand there, say nice things to me
I've been cheated Ive been wronged, and you
You dont know me, I cant change
I wont do anything at all

I wanna push you around, I will, I will
I wanna push you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for grantedI wanna take you for granted
I will

Oh but don't bowl me over
Just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so
Crazy, crazy
Dont rush this baby
Dont rush this baby

I wanna push you around, I will, I will
I wanna push you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for grantedI wanna take you for granted
I will

Long Day
Its sitting by the overcoat,
The second shelf, the note she wrote
That I cant bring myself to throw away
And also
Reach she said for no one else but you,
Cuz you wont turn away
When someone else is gone

Im sorry bout the attitude
I need to give when Im with you
But no one else would take this shit from me
And Im so
Terrified of no one else but me
Im here all the time
I wont go away
Its me, yeah I cant get myself to go away
Its me, and I cant get myself to go away
Oh God I shouldnt feel this way

Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
Its been a long day, always aint that right
And no lord your hand wont stop it
Just keep you trembling
Its been a long day, always aint that right

Well Im surprised that youd believe
In anything that comes from me
I didnt hear from you or from someone else
And your so
Set in life man, a pisser theyre waiting
Too damn bad you get so far so fast
So what, so long

Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
Its been a long day, always aint that right
And no lord your hand wont stop it
Just keep you trembling
Its been a long day, always aint that right

Its me, yeah and I cant myself to go away
Its me, yeah and I cant myself to go away
Oh God I shouldntfeel this way

Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
Its been a long day, always aint that right
And no lord your hand wont stop it
Just keep you trembling
Its been a long day, always aint that right

Real World

I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it's like to know that I made the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you can come and see them when im... done, when I'm done

I wonder what its like to be a super hero
I wonder where Id go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sun
Boy I bet my friends will be... stunned, they're stunned

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

I wonder what its like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said
I'd shout out an order, I think were out of this man get me some
Boy dont make me wanna change my... tone, my tone

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

Please don't change, please dont break
The only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don't change, at all from me
To you, and you to me

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

If You're Gone

I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak - but I think youre wrong
I think you're already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure

I think you're so mean, I think we should try
I think I could need this in my life
I think Im just scared, I think too much
I know this is wrong its a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone, maybe its time to go home
Theres an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz theres a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I bet youre hard to get over
I bet the room just wont shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need more than you mind

I think you're so mean, I think we should try
I think I could need this in my life
I think I'm just scared that I know too much
I can't relate and thats a problem I'm feeling

If you're gone, maybe its time to go home
Theres an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I think you're so mean, I think we should try
I think I could need this in my life
I think I'm just scared, do I talk too much
I know this is wrong its a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone, maybe its time to go home
Theres an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone, baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

Bent

If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk

If I need some other love
Give me more than I can stand
And when my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I'll smile again

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just hold me and then
Just hold me again

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

If I couldn't sleep could you sleep
Could you paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot

I started out clean but Im jaded
Just phoning it in
Just breaking the skin

Can you help me I'm bent
Im so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

Start bending me
Its never enough
I feel all your pieces

Start bending me
Keep bending me until Im completely broken in

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just touch me and then
Just touch me again

Can you help me I'm bent
Im so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

Can you help me I'm bent
Im so scared that I'll never
Get put back together

You're breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent

Mad Season

I feel stupid - but I know it wont last for long
Ive been guessing - I coulda been guessin' wrong
You don't know me now
I kinda thought that you should somehow
Does that whole mad season got ya down

I feel stupid but it's something that comes and goes
Ive been changin - think it's funny how now one knows
We dont talk about - the little things that we do without
When that whole mad season comes around

So why ya gotta stand there
Looking like the answer now
It seems to me - you'd come around
I need you now
Do you think you can cope
You figured me out - I'm lost and I'm hopeless
Bleeding and broken - though I've never spoken
I come undone - in this mad season

I feel stupid - but I think I been catchin' on
I feel ugly - but I know I still turn you on
You seem colder now, torn apart, angry, turned around
Will that whole mad season knock you down

So are you gonna stand there
Are you gonna help me out
You need to be together now - I need you now
Do you think you can cope
You figured me out - I'm lost and I'm hopeless
Bleeding and broken - though I've never spoken
I come undone - in this mad season

Now I'm cryin' - isn't that what you want
Im tryin' to live my life on my own
But I wont
At times - I do believe I am strong
So someone tell me why, why, why
Do I, I, I feel stupid
And I came undone
And I came undone

I need you now
Do you think you can cope
You figured me out - I'm lost and I'm hopeless
Bleeding and broken - though I've never spoken

I need you now
Do you think you can cope
You figured me out - I'm a child and I'm hopeless
Bleeding and broken - though I've never spoken
I come undone - in this mad season

In this mad season
Theres been a mad season
Been a mad season

Unwell

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

Hold on
Feeling like Im headed for a breakdown
And I dont know why

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you cant 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 dont care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be... me

I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow Ive lost my mind


But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you cant 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 dont care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon theyll come to get me
Yeah, theyre taking me away

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you cant 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 dont care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell

Disease

Feels like you made a mistake
You made somebody's heart break
But now I have to let you go
I have to let you go

You left a stain
On every one of my good days
But I am stronger than you know
I have to let you go

No one's ever turned you over
No one's tried
To ever let you down,
Beautiful girl
Bless your heart

I got a disease
Deep inside me
Makes me feel uneasy baby
I can't live without you
Tell me what I am supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from it
Dont pay no attention to me
I got a disease

Feels like you're making a mess
Youre hell on wheels in a black dress
You drove me to the fire
And left me there to burn

Every little thing you do is tragic
All my life, oh was magic
Beautiful girl
I can't breathe

I got a disease
Deep inside me
Makes me feel uneasy baby
I can't live without you
Tell me what I am supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from it
Dont pay no attention to me
I got a disease
I think that I'm sick
But leave me be while my world is coming down on me
You taste like honey, honey
Tell me can I be your honey
Be, be strong
Keep telling myself it that wont take long till
I'm free of my disease

Yeah well free of my disease
Free of my disease

I got a disease
Deep inside me
Makes me feel uneasy baby
I can't live without you
Tell me what I am supposed to do about it
Keep your distance from it
Dont pay no attention to me
I got a disease

I think that I'm sick
But leave me be while my world is coming down on me
You taste like honey, honey
Tell me can I be your honey
Be, be strong
Keep telling myself it that wont take long till
I'm free of my disease
Yeah well free of my disease
Free of my disease
