Emotionally Involved
Matt Simons - 2013 / From 'Pieces'

 

All alone on the road done my miles now

I’m a soldier, a dark horse, a warrior
Hungry for, I don’t know, going oh so crazy from this distance
Take my soul, take everything I know, take control of my existence
You got emotional
You got emotional
We got emotionally involved
We got emotionally involved again

Saved my soul and it shows, such a friend to me
All I know’s you’re so close, now we’re family
But you got on, I got off, we got over it
Have some sense, I’ll be steady with my intent, but I know we can’t forget it

You got emotional
You got emotional
We got emotionally involved
We got emotionally involved again

I’ll never forgive myself if I lose you
I’ll never forgive myself if I lose you
Never forgive myself if I lose you
My whole life

You got emotional
You got emotional
We got emotionally involved
We got emotionally involved
We got emotionally involved
We got emotionally involved again

Gone
Matt Simons - 2013 / From 'Pieces'

 

Get on out of town, roll the windows down
Feel that pouring rain, and leave it all behind
Disappears over my shoulder, turn a new leaf over
Freedom in my soul, I got nothing on my mind
I’m ’bout to put this away oh

Hear about it on the evening news
All about a man with nothing left to lose
We ain’t got nothing if we ain’t got shoes to run
I know my heart is true
So, what you want, what you gotta get me through
I ain’t got nothing if I ain’t got you to love
And I’m tired of being wrong, yes I’m tired of being wrong

I’m so tired of being wrong I’m gone

After the way things went, I’m not so innocent
The way I acted and the foolish things I said
And left behind with all those screams, sits a pile of my broken dreams
I could rummage through or I ditch it all instead
I’m ’bout to put this to rest oh
Come on

Hear about it on the evening news
All about a man with nothing left to lose
We ain’t got nothing if we ain’t got shoes to run
I know my heart is true
So, what you want, what you gotta get me through
I ain’t got nothing if I ain’t got you to love
And I’m tired of being wrong, oh I’m tired of being wrong

I’m so tired of being wrong I’m gone

For three long years I’ve been waiting, pick myself up off the floor
I feel my time here been wasted
I’m about to pack on up and get on out the door oh oh no
Hear about it on the evening news
All about a man with nothing left to lose
We ain’t got nothing if we ain’t got shoes to run
I know my heart is true
So, what you want, what you gotta get me through
I ain’t got nothing if I ain’t got you to love
And I’m tired of being wrong, yes I’m tired of being wrong, I’m so tired of being wrong I’m gone
And I’m tired of being wrong, oh so tired of being wrong, I’m so tired of being wrong I’m gone

Let Me Go On
Matt Simons - 2013 / From 'Pieces'

 

Here’s a tune, to formally know me
How I’m bound to get lonely once left to wait
We go out, we are bound to get wasted
Settle down and just taste it
Before it’s too late

Pestered with tales of our responsibilities

The world’s gonna bring you down to size
I got a plan to fight the fire in your eyes

Let me go, let me go
Let me go on

Let me go, let me go
Let me go on

So it goes, and I gotta be honest
Better get on this
Before it slips away
The day will come for realizing potential
It’s really not so suspenseful
Get left with bills to pay

Pestered with tales of all missed opportunities
Of youth being wasted on the young
I got a plan to fight the fire on your tongue

Let me go, let me go
Let me go on

Let me go, let me go
Let me go on

Life’s too short to take people at their word
Regardless of all you heard
Everyone I know says once a season
That they got a reason to change
Usually they just rearrange

Let me go, let me go, let me go on

Let me go, let me go, let me go on
Let me go, let me go, let me go on

Let me go, let me go, let me go on

Let me go, let me go, let me go on

Let me go, let me go, let me go on

Let me go, let me go, let me go on

Let me go, let me go
Let me go on

With You
Matt Simons - 2013 / From 'Pieces'

 

Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the ones we love so dear

I’ll be with you, I’ll be waiting for you
On the other side, on the other side
And the winds that blow they’ll guide you home
Get you through the night, get you through the night
It’ll all be right

My job to control you
Darling though I barely know you
Hoping you grow tired and start giving in
Spout of holy water, pour it on my only daughter
Maybe there’s a shot she’ll begin again

I’ll be with you, I’ll be waiting for you
On the other side, on the other side
And the winds that blow they’ll guide you home
Get you through the night, get you through the night
It’ll all be right

So wrong, and I’m here to make it right
For what it’s worth
And I’m sorry, yes I’m sorry
If you never felt the love, the love
The love that you deserve

I’ll be with you, I’ll be waiting for you
On the other side, on the other side
And the winds that blow they’ll guide you home
Get you through the night, get you through the night
It’ll all be right, it’ll all be right

Miss You More
Matt Simons - 2013 / From 'Pieces'

 

Back when we made our choice, miles behind us

Now when I hear your voice, I’m reminded of

All of the love we share, how we’re missing out

We got our lives to live
I know there’s no one like you here

I know there’s no one like you here

And we both have no intention of holding back

And I will miss you more
You know I grow so tired, tired of leaving

Motion will not be made by believing that

We can just sit right here, love will conquer all

That would be so naïve
I know there’s no one like you here

I know there’s no one like you here

And we both have no intention of holding back

And I will miss you more

 

I will miss you more, I will miss you more

Watch the months fly by

There’s hope for you and I

We must not lose sight

oh no no…
We’ll see how I carry on, on without you

Knowing that most my thoughts are all about you

Now, I will be waiting till we can be together

I can come home for good
I know there’s no one like you here

I know there’s no one like you here

And we both have no intention of holding back

And I will miss you more

I will miss you more

I will miss you more

I will miss you more

Best Years
Matt Simons - 2013 / From 'Pieces'

 

Saturday night, time to go out again

Bask in my self doubt again, sounds like fun

Stumble around, search for more games to play

Think I’ll throw the whole week away, it’s what we do
Take a picture witness from afar
Losing a sense of who we are, as we find a sense of who we’re going to be
All at once it’s changed, all at once it’s real
Need to take control, learning just to deal
Draw away our minds, till that day arrives

This is how we’ll spend the best years of our lives

Part of the crowd, I remember who’s hearts you wear

I can’t help it I stop and stare, you caught my eye

Talking to you, I guess it’s now time to be

Trickin’ you into lovin’ me, maybe for a night
Words they’ll fall so far they’ll fall so fast
Gotta just make this moment last
And let die for one more day
The fear of ending up alone

All at once it’s changed, all at once it’s real
Need to take control, learning just to deal
Draw away our minds, till that day arrives

This is how we’ll spend the best years of our lives

All the strange new highs
Give to all time lows
Problems take control, before anybody knows
Luckily for me dreams are hard to break
Balance to be learned between the give and

Take a picture witness from afar
Losing a sense of who we are, as we find a sense of who we’re going to be
All at once it’s changed, all at once it’s real
Need to take control, learning just to deal
Draw away our minds, till that day arrives

This is how we’ll spend the best years of our lives
The best years of our lives
The best years of our lives

I Will Follow You Into The Dark
Matt Simons - 2013 / From 'Pieces'

 

Love of mine someday you will die
I’ll be close behind
I’ll follow you into the dark
No blinding lights or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no’s on their vacancy signs
If there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks
I’ll follow you into the dark

Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised
By a lady in black and
Held my tongue, as she told me

“Son, fear is the heart of love”
So I never went back in
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no’s on their vacancy signs
If there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks
I’ll follow you into the dark
I’ll follow you into the dark

You and me, have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of our shoes are

All worn down
The time for sleep is now
There’s nothing to cry about
‘Cause we’ll hold each other soon in the blackest of rooms
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no’s on their vacancy signs
If there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks
I’ll follow you
I’ll follow you
I’ll follow you
I’ll follow you
I’ll follow you into the dark
I’ll follow you into the dark

Fall In Line
Matt Simons - 2013 / From 'Pieces'

 

I’ve been fine here on my own. In fact, I prefer to be alone
From these signs that you have shown, mixed up all that I thought I known

You’ve been looking out for your own time and
I was merely wondering if your’s and mine could ever align

Saw you just the other day, I caught you looking back my way
Then to your friends as if to say, “Yeah, this just might turn out ok”

I’ve been looking out for my own time.
And I’ve come around to thinking if you were mine, that could be fine.

I don’t know you all that well, maybe
Could be something special, time will tell, lady
Pay no mind, there’s no way that we gon’ find it alone
Nothing if we stall, heaven when we fall in line

I’ll try and show what this needs to survive
I think you’ll know when we arrive
Listen, I will think of you only
Ain’t you tired of lonely?
So do what is good for you
I’ve seen the way you act
You’ve been trying to attract me too

I don’t know you all that well, but maybe
Could be something special, time will tell, lady
Pay no mind
There’s no way that we gon’ find it alone
Nothing if we stall
Heaven when we fall in line

 

I don’t know you all that well, but maybe
Could be something special, time will tell, lady
Pay no mind
There’s no way that we gon’ find it alone
Nothing if we stall
Heaven when we fall in line

Pieces

Matt Simons – 2013 / From ‘Pieces’

The moment we meet
Notice the sparks start to fly
Turn into heat
It’s gonna get cute you and I
Comes time to leave
Unaware hours gone by
Done the best to stay
Out of my own way

Starts with a phone call
Sided with caution, three day wait
Certain you’ll soon fall
Not gonna leave this up to fate
Picture together
All of my problems you erase
I don’t hear a peep
Guess I’ll get some sleep

Every time I drop, into pieces over nothing
At the top, with belief that this is something
But its not, lie awake and I am wasting time
Lying to my mind, lying to my mind

The very next weekend
My call finally gets returned
My will has been weakened
You’d think that by now I’d have learned
She says we can be friends
Bringing about my concern
Never had control
Back to feeling low

Every time I drop, into pieces over nothing
At the top, with belief that this is something
But its not, lie awake and I am wasting time
Lying to my mind, lying to my mind

There is a so fine line
Built to give way by design
That you walk at your own risk
of being left out in cold
Or so I’ve been told
I guess I haven’t been told, no no

Every time I drop, into pieces over nothing
At the top, with belief that this is something
But its not, lie awake and I am wasting time
Lying to my mind, lying to my mind, lying to my mind, lying to my mind
