Matt Simons – With you Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
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 …
[Verse 1:]
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 …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Concrete Family, Concrete Industries, Concrete Boys up, always, never down
(And this beat from Cash, not from …
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On …
Well take a look at what’s left in that sunset,
Fireflies popping like the Fourth of July, yeah.1
You’re gonna wanna see every single thing I’m gonna show you tonight.2
Got the perfect scene set of a moonlight glowing,
Just keep them baby blues3 wide open.
Girl take a look around, yeah it’s going down.
It’s going down just right.4
Hey baby ‘fore the night gets any older,5
Lean your pretty self over here a little closer.
I need to hold ya,
I wanna show ya what you don’t wanna miss, no.
It’s all getting to what we’ve been waiting on.
I’m gonna go and turn you and the night on.6
Coming on strong, I’m gonna lay it on your lips.7
Might wanna close your eyes for this.8
Sun gone down, nights are getting hotter.9
We’ve got this bed10 backed up to the water.
Yeah it’s the place to be if you wanna see every little shining star.11
But that view ain’t nothing like the you I’m lookin’ at,12
Two tan legs for days dangling off the back.
It all looks better baby you can see forever when you’re here in my arms.13
Hey baby ‘fore the night gets any older,
Lean your pretty self over here a little closer.
I need to hold ya,
I wanna show ya what you don’t wanna miss, no.
It’s all getting to what we’ve been waiting on.
I’m gonna go and turn you and the night on.
Coming on strong, I’m gonna lay it on your lips.
Might wanna close your eyes for this.
Just when you thought you had seen it all,
Well it turns out you don’t have to see it all.
Hey baby fore the night gets any older,
Lean your pretty self over here a little closer.
I need to hold ya,
I wanna show ya what you don’t wanna miss, no.
It’s all getting to what we’ve been waiting on.
I’m gonna go and turn you and the night on.
Coming on strong, I’m gonna lay it on your lips.
Might wanna close your eyes for this.
Might wanna close your eyes for this.
Hey pretty girl might wanna close your eyes for this.
Close your eyes for this.14
