Matthew Sweet Album

I don't know where I'm gonna live
Don't know if I'll find a place
I'd have to think about it some
And that I do not wish to face
I guess I'm counting on his
Divine Intervention

I cannot understand my God
I don't know why it gets to me
One day my life is filled with joy
And then we find we disagree
All depending on his
Divine Intervention

Does he love us does he love us?
Does he love us does he love us?
I look around and all I see is destruction
We're all counting on his
Divine Intervention

Here comes the sunshine
Here comes the sunshine
Sunshine
The sunshine
Here it comes

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

[solo]

When you said to me
You are not so old
Did I know it then?
'Cause I had just been told

You know 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 [have you] [3x]

I've been waiting

I wanna love somebody
I hear you need somebody to love
Oh, I wanna love somebody
I hear you're looking for someone to love

'Cause you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend
And I need to
Get back in the arms of a girlfriend

I didn't know nobody
And then I saw you coming my way
Well, I didn't know nobody
And then I saw you coming my way

Don't you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend?
Oh, 'cause, honey, believe me
I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend

Ooh (1, 2, 3, 4)

All right

Don't you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend?
Oh, 'cause, honey, believe me
I'd sure love to call you my girlfriend

'Cause you got a good thing going, baby
You only need somebody to love
Oh, you've got a good thing going
You're only looking for someone to love

'Cause you need to
Get back in the arms of a good friend

And I'm never gonna set you free
No, I'm never gonna set you free

What a beautiful moment
The truth comes out at last
Once your heart would own me forever
Then this passed
And what a beautiful moment
As my heard comes apart
Drunk and in a manner of saying, wasted

'Cause you don't love me
You don't love me
You can't see how I matter in this world
Even though I loved you
You can't believe that
If you find something
You think might make you happy
Then I guess it's okay, I think it's okay
If you go away

Blown right out of my senses
I did not know what to do
Lost and badly wanting someone
To see me through
That's why I needed you

But you don't love me, you don't love me
You can't see how I matter in this world
Even though I loved you
You can't believe that
You think that leaving
Is what will make you happy
Then I guess it's okay, I think it's okay
If you go away

'Cause you don't love me
You don't love me
You can't see how I matter in this world
Even though I loved you
You can't believe that
You think that leaving
Is what will make you happy
Then I guess it's okay, I think it's okay
If you go away
'Cause you don't love me
You don't love me...

Stop what you're doing to me
My love don't want to see
Then we were young and strong
Now everything is wrong
Did you want me
Did you need me
Could you not say
You believed me
And our love is in a time capsule
Dream what you want me to be
Come and dig for me
Then we were young and strong
Now Everything is wrong, so wrong
Did you want me
Did you need me
Could you not say
You believed me
And our love is in a time capsule

(Solo)

Then we were young and strong
Now everything is wrong, so wrong
Didn't you want me
Didn't you need me
Could you not say You believed me
Didn't you want me
Didn't you need me
Could you not say
You believed me
And our love is in a time capsule
Let's dig it up

You don't want to die
But the living gets you down
We want you to act like nothing's wrong
Even though you heard a sound
And then you're ripped right out of the ground
Like a fucking root
Ah, you simply cannot hide
From the ugly truth
You feel you must be wise
Cause you could find yourself
Among a sea of smiling faces
It's a way I've never felt
Yeah, it kinda flies right into my face
And out the other side
The ugly truth leaves nothing to decide
The ugly truth makes every one of us a liar
Ugly

If you can dig a big enough hole
To bury all your loot
No you still won't be prepared for the ugly truth
No you'll never be prepared for the ugly truth
You simply cannot hide from the ugly truth
Ugly

I can understand you're living in a prison
I know you can only see me as a vision
I might fade away
With the coming of a new dawn

And your heart is breaking
What are you gonna do now
That you're tired of faking it?
What are you gonna do now?
Well, it's hard to take it
When you know what happens each time

The devil with the green eyes
Said you were never meant to be mine
'Cause I came up from a dark world
And every love I've ever known is dead

If you come close enough to see I am inhuman
I will tell you why you're feeling so uncertain
Every word I say
Has a way of turning evil in you

And your heart is breaking
What are you gonna do now
That you're tired of faking it?
What are you gonna do now?
Well, it's hard to take it
When you know what happens each time

The devil with the green eyes
Said you was never meant to be mine
'Cause I came up from a dark world
And every love I've ever known is dead

And your heart is breaking
What are you gonna do now
That you're tired of faking it?
What are you gonna do now?
Well, it's hard to take it
You know what happens each time

The devil with the green eyes
Said you were never meant to be mine
'Cause I came up from a dark world
And every love I've ever known
Every love I've ever known
Every love I've ever known
Is dead

Well, I'm loaded, ready
Calmly holding steady
Looking for a sign to show me when

Well, I'm waiting, willing
The clarity is chilling
And I'm not turning back, and neither can you

I need someone to pull the trigger
'Cause there's a hole in my heart getting bigger
And everything I'll ever be I've been
And I need someone to pull the trigger
So if you're what I think you'll be
If you're who I think I see, shoot

So hold me, love me
Tie me up and drug me
'Cause I'm not gonna beg you for my life

I need someone to pull the trigger
'Cause there's a hole in my heart getting bigger
And everything I'll ever be I've been
And I need someone to pull the trigger
So if you're what I think you'll be
If you're who I think I see, shoot
Shoot
Shoot
Shoot

"You don't know how you move me
Deconstruct me
And consume me
I'm all used up
I'm out of luck
I am starstuck
By something in your eyes
That is keeping my hope alive

But I'm sick of myself when I look at you
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think
Baby you don't know

I'll take or leave
The room to breathe
The choice to leave you
I'll throw away
A chance at greatness
Just to make this
Dream come into play
I don't know if I'll find a way

'Cause I'm sick of myself when i look at you
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think
Baby you don't know
And I'm beginning to think
Baby you don't know

There's something in your eyes
That is keeping my hope alive
Cause I'm sick of myself when I look at you
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think
Baby you don't know
And I'm beginning to think
Baby you don't know"

I don't have to speak, and you know what I'm thinking.
You don't need to hear what I say.
I 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 fare in each other's eyes.
Baby we're the same, so you should not be surprised when I swear to you
I never told you what to do,
Maybe it's me, maybe it's you.

I dont' 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 others' skies.
Baby we're the same, so you should not be surprised 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 fare in each other's eyes.
Baby we're the same, so you should not be surprised when I swear to you
I never told you what to do,
Maybe it's me, maybe it's you.
Maybe it's you...

Instead of running,
Stay and keep it coming.
You're getting your kicks
Right at the source.
You're taking your guidance
From the force.
But where do you get love?
Down below or from somewhere above?
Got a scary feeling I know
Where you get love.
Am I the whore
You're working for?
I'm here if you want to keep me near
Much further away than I appear.
Where do you get love?
Down below or from somewhere above?
Got a scary feeling I know
Where you get love.

Instead of running,
Stay and keep it coming,
Stay and keep it coming,
Stay and keep it coming, coming.
Where do you get love?
Down below or from somewhere above?
Got a scary feeling I know
Where you get love.
Where do you get love?
Down below or from somewhere above?
Got a scary feeling I know
Where you get love.

Hanging onto your pride,
Trying not to decide
Who could take you.
Do you hold it inside,
Let it fall by the way?
I'll feel the way you feel
And tell you after.
But how long will it take?
How long until you break,
To talk you into space,
How long until you break?
Put an end to your day,
Turn the light out and say.
But first I'll get to know
And love you after.
Just how long will it take?
How long until you break,
To talk you into space,
How long until you break?

Solo

I'll feel the way you feel
And love you after.
Just how long will it take?
How long until you break,
To talk you into space,
How long until you break?
Just how long will it take?
How long until you break?
To talk you into space,
How long until you break,
Til you break..

I haven't been a good friend
For a long, long time.
You know I wasn't happy
Behind the smile.
Anywhere you look
A reason to believe.
But think of what it took
To bring me to my proper place.

And I haven't been a good friend
For a long, long time.
I haven't been a good friend
While you've been mine.

Now am I by side
Or standing in your way?
'Cause if this is a sign
I don't know what it's supposed to mean

And I haven't been a good friend
For a long, long time.
I haven't been a good friend
While you've been mine.

(Solo)

I have seen my perfect day
I have watched it fade away.
You know I'm fighting to believe.
I haven't been a good friend
For a long, long time.
You know I wasn't happy
Behind the smile.

I don't wanna do it over 'cause I've made my case
But I wish that I could live another place
Try to make it over but it won't erase
So it looks like I'm still trapped inside this space

If time permits me
To right my wrong deed
If time permits me to live

I could throw a hundred things you did away
If it meant that we could have another day

If time permits me
To right my wrong deed
If time permits me to live

I don't want to do it over
I don't want to do it over
But it looks like I'm still trapped inside this space

If time permits me
To right my wrong deed
If time permits me to live

In my mind I can't imagine
How the world has come to me
And in my heart I can't detach
The feeling that it couldn't be

And no, I don't want to kiss you
Don't want to miss you if you go away
I'll fake it don't want to make it
Don't want to feel another way

Once you had a love and you let it go
Now you know what matters
Once you had a dream that you realized
But do you know what matters

'Cause you're alone in the sense that I am
But you know we're not alone
And we aren't perfect nothing is
But try to understand
The moment leaves you without a vision
Can't see decisions being made
I can describe the picture I'm painting
It's not amazing when you know

Once you had a love and you let it go
Now you know what matters
Once you had a dream that you realized
But do you know what matters

To leave your feelings in the past
Part of it is you know you can't go back for free

And no, I don't want to kiss you
Don't want to miss you if you go away
I'll fake it don't want to make it
Don't want to feel another way

Once you had a love and you let it go
Now you know what matters
Once you had a dream that you realized
But do you know what matters

To leave your feelings in the past
Part of it is you know you can't go back for free

What matters...

Now you'll have to be
Hurt when you think of me
With vision but you can't see far

You hide every thing you can
But the world keeps breaking through
Anywhere you run
And it always will
Before I knew I had you you were gone

Fake too close to the truth
Break when I look at you
And feel how I never knew why

I hide every thing I can
But the world keeps breaking through
Anywhere I run
And it always will
Before I knew I had you you were gone

Fake too close to the truth
Break when I look at you oh

You hide everything you can
But the world keeps breaking through
Anywhere you run
And it always will
Before I knew I had you
You were gone
