Matt Wertz Album

Can't believe that you're gone without a trace
I can't believe you got no tears upon your face
While mine is soaking wet
Making up for your lack I guess
Thats how it is, in love, or out of love as I sit now
Without you next to me
Wishing things that just can't be

It's all that I can do
Just sit back and watch it all fall through, yeah

It should've so good, it could've been so right
That was before the day forever died
I'm wishing on what-ifs and taking my chances
That was before the day forever died

Theres nothing left to be said
Its all been spoken
In spite of words you couldn't find for me
I guess you came out ahead
Now I'm broken into a man ashamed to show his face
Walkin away seemed so easy for you
So why's it gotta be so hard for me
To see that its over when for so long love was just you and me

Its all that I can do
Just sit back and watch it all go through

It should've been so good, It could've been so right
That was before the day forever died
I'm wishin on what-ifs, I'm taking my chances
That was before the day forever died.

Should've been so good, could've been so right
That was before the day forever died
I'm wishin on what-ifs, I'm taking my chances
That was before the day forever, the day forever died

California's come and gone
Now I got my mind back on
The open air and you on highway one
Baby, ever since that day
I've tried to get back to the place
Where everything was right under the sun

Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I'm waiting

Saturday took you away
Sunday morning brought the rain
The cloudy skies are covering the blue
Why'd you have to disappear?
It's not the same without you here
When everythings reminding me of you

Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I'm waiting to see you again
Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I'm waiting to see you again

Would you come back? Won't you come back?
Cause' I'm waiting, I'm waiting
Would you come back? Won't you come back?
Cause' I'm waiting, I'm waiting to see you again

Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I'm waiting
Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I'm waiting
Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I'm waiting
Marianne, Marianne, Marianne....

Windows down as the night blows in
Tap the beat on the wheel as the tires spin
Until we're there crank the radio
We'll join in with the songs we know

Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight

Smiles light up as we walk in
Old conversations begin again
Nostalgia's thick as the August air
It takes us back to a time when we didn't care, we didn't care

Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight

Oh, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight

Everything's right...

Your distracting me with that beauty
leaving me wanting more
reminding me of my duty
to lock these eyes to yours

(Chorus)
And I never known a love so true
and I wanna see all of you
when green meets red
and red meets blue
I wanna see all of you
all of you, all of you

The sunlight dances with the distance
in a squinty eyed shores
and im chasing down a rising heart, yeah
with hopes being danced with to

And i never known a love so true
and i wanna see all of you, yeah
when green meets red
and red meets blue
I wanna see all of you, all of you, all

Daylight seems all that morning in a dream
and im lost, im lost
inside you

And i never known a love you true
and I wanna see all of you
When green meets red
and red meets blue
and I wanna see all of you, all of you, all

All of...

Never been much good on my own
So I'm tryin' to find somebody else
Never been good at finding much
Exept this lonlieness all by myself

Spottin' you ain't been easy
I could use one hand, maybe two
'Cuz I got this spot right beside me baby...
Waiting here just for you

So you go hide, and I'll come seek
And maybe someday in the middle we just might meet
Because I'm counting to 100 and I promise I won't peek
As you go hide...
And I'll come seek

How much longer will this game go on?
I guess only time will tell
I hate to hear that you're all alone
Overlooked in search of someone else

So you go hide, and I'll come seek
And maybe someday in the middle we just might meet
Because I'm counting to 100 and I promise I won't peek
As you go hide...
And I'll come seek

Please show your face
Because I want you to be here, here
I want you to be here

So you go hide, and I'll come seek
And maybe someday in the middle we just might meet
Because I'm counting to 100 and I promise I won't peek
As you go hide...
And I'll come seek

I'm not made of gold
Thought I told you so
With your hopes so high
I'll tell you one more time
You'll hear me if you try

I could never be that for you
I could never be that for you
I could never take your cloudy skies and make them blue
You keep on telling me I light your day
You're hanging on to every word I say
I could never be that for you, that for you

Put it on the line
Wear it on your sleeve
It's up to me now
But I'll never make your broken heart begin to beat

I could never be that for you
I could never be that for you
I could never take your cloudy skies and make them blue
You keep on telling me I light your day
You're hanging on to every word I say
I could never be that for you, that for you

I can't be your everything
I can not make things right
I'll tell you one more time
Maybe you'll hear me if you try

I could never be that for you
I could never be that for you
I could never take your cloudy skies and make them blue
You keep on telling me I light your day
You're hanging on to every word I say
I could never be that for you, that for you

I could never be that for you
I could never be that for you
I could never take your cloudy skies and make them blue
You keep on telling me I light your day
You're hanging on to every word I say
I could never be that for you, that for you

I don't know how the stars hang
Or how there's night and then there's day
I don't know how you spoke into the black
and made it all obey

(Chorus)
All that I know is the bleeding in my heart
and the healing in your touch
All that I know is that you gave everything
so let that be enough...it's all I know, it's all I know

I don't know how your love works
Or how you cover me in grace
I don't know how you swallow all I am
when I can't stand my taste, oh

(Chorus)
All that I know is the bleeding in my heart
and the healing in your touch
All that I know is that you gave everything
so let that be enough...it's all I know

And I can't explain your mystery,
but I know the answer

(Chorus)
All that I know is the bleeding in my heart
and the healing in your touch
All that I know is that you gave everything
so let that be enough...it's all I know, it's all I know

It's cold in the living room on Lindenwood
It's quiet around the table tonight
It's half empty in this house
And this half don't know what to do

Wesley why'd you have to leave us so soon

We keep stumblin' through the words to explain it all
We keep searching for the beauty in the dust
We keep telling ourselves
It was your time

Wesley why can't you just be here tonight

The Glass is at the bedside
Keys are in the car
Your Shoes are on the staircase
And you beating in our hearts

Wesley why'd you have to leave us so soon

We keep waiting for your footsteps at the back door
We keep waiting for the punchline to the joke
We keep shedding these tears
And shouting at the moon

Wesley why'd you have to leave us so soon

The Glass is at the bedside
Keys are in the car
Your Shoes are on the staircase
And you beating in our hearts

Wesley why'd you have to leave us so soon

fallin' asleep to the sound of stars shootin' round the moon
but i can't watch them fly tonight, baby
i'm too busy watching you
i guess your smile is the sun's way of lighting up what's dark, yeah
so shine, shine, shine, for me baby
it only takes a spark
sweetness in starlight
sweetness 'til the day sighs
sweetness in starlight
sweetness 'til the sunrise, yeah...oh the day sighs
and there's nothin' under these bright stars
that could bring this night to ruin
so hold on tightly to me, baby
cuz tonight's gonna end too soon
and your touch is potent medicine, oh
knocks me out with just one shot, yeah
i've never seen such strong elixir, baby
it fixes all that i'm not
you fix all that im not, yeah
sweetness in starlight
sweetness 'til the day sighs
sweetness in starlight
sweetness 'til the sunrise
yeah, i'm holdin' on so tightly baby
i won't let you go
i won't let you go...
sweetness in starlight
sweetness 'til the day sighs
sweetness in starlight
sweetness 'til the sunrise
on and on...oh, yeah
la di da, um dee da um dee da...

Lengthening shadows
Timeless days
Laughing in the sunlight
Losing our way
Grass underneath us
Sky above
We're in the middle
Surrounded by love

Let's kick off our shoes
And wade through the night
The air's so warm
The moon just right
We'll sing to the stars
And dance by their light
As we kick off our shoes
And wade through the night

When I look around
I just can't deny
Everything you
Everything I
Tracing your outline
Against the painted sky
Connecting the dots
Between you and I

So let's kick off our shoes
And wade through the night
The air's too warm
Moons just right
We sing to the stars
And dance by the light
As we kick off our shoes
And wade through the night

We'll hike up our jeans
And get our feet wet
Maybe we'll dance until the dawn

Let's kick off our shoes
And wade through the night
The air's so warm
The moons just right
We'll sing to the stars
And dance by their light
As we kick off our shoes
And wade through....

Let's kick off our shoes
And wade through the night
The air's so warm
The moons just right
We'll sing to the stars
And dance by their light
As we kick off our shoes
And wade through the night
Wade through the night
Wade through the night
Wade through the...

Stay away from me
I'll be gone soon
It's just so hard to let go once we've grabbed hold
It's nothing that you've done
You're not the only one
I'm just learning to be in twenty-three places

Cause' I'm falling off the face of the earth
Crashing into bridges I burn
And I'm falling off the face of the earth
I'll be home soon

Is this how the story goes
When rubber meets the road
Waving goodbye is so hard without hello

Cause' I'm falling off the face of the earth
Crashing into bridges I burn
And I'm falling off the face of the earth
But I'll be home soon

I keep forgetting to
Keep you an arms length away

And I'm falling off the face of the earth
Crashing into bridges I burn
I'm falling off the face of the earth
But I'll be home soon
I'll be home soon
I'll be home soon
