Mat Kearney

Born and raised under the rain and a Western Wind Felt the weight trying to live up to they say I am. Is it any wonder Shame comes calling my first name Is there any question if I'm the one here left to blame It's the same fight all over again It's th...

Here we go at it three years later Will you help me to dream it all up again? Tired of the same song everyone's singing I'd rather be lost with you instead Don't you come around here, come around here anymore Dragging my fears, dragging my fears out the...

Here it comes it's all blowing in tonight I woke up this morning to a blood red sky They're burning on the bridge turning off the lights We're on the run I can see it in your eyes If nothing is safe then I don't understand You call me your boy but I'm trying t...

I'm caught in a moment out in the rain Tell me there's something we can say Help me to find a light, something that's worth living She's walking the back beat out in the grave Tell me there's something we can change Help me to find my way back down 'Cause An...

[Verse 1] When you stopped me in my tracks The very first time Had me going The very first night Waved goodbye, your keys locked inside I knew you were the only one With your crazy voicemail seen your spotted toes Way funnier than anyone knows With yo...

Breathe in breathe out, tell me all of your doubt Everybody bleeds this way, just the same Breathe in breathe out, move on and break down If everyone goes away, I will stay We push and pull and I fall down sometimes I'm not letting go, you hold the other line...

Yesterday I was sitting recalling reminiscing Trying to remember whenever there was nobody listening Before the hugging and the kissing, the booing and the hissing All I had was just a vision, all I had was my ambition Your love without condition kept me swing...

Call me anything but lonely Through a stone disown me Let'em know I'll never, ever be the same 'Cause they all head on home in the morning Get on gone when it's storming Let'em know I'll never kiss it all away When the morning sun comes You'll know I...

She says today is gonna be the last one I know there's never gonna be an easy way out She's rolling round the town with a fast gun And I know I can't be there to catch her when she falls Well half way down is half way out of here We're either halfway drowned...

This whole city's black and white Tell me what is your color? Could it be the same as mine? Faded greens and blue street lights There's a red fire burning from the sea up to the sky 'Cause I don't wanna wait until tomorrow To tell you how I feel the rest...

This whole city’s black and white Tell me what is your color. Could it be the same as mine? Faded greens and blue street lights, There’s a red fire burning In the sea up to the sky. I don’t want to wait until tomorrow To tell you how I’d feel the rest of my l...

These back steps are steeper to the ground The brightest stars are falling down I'm walking the edge, walking the tightest rope We can be frank, reality rips on through, rolling like a hurricane I'm over the bridge and under the rain [bridge] If everything's...

I get up in the evening, and I ain't got nothing to say I come home in the moring, I go to bed feeling the same way I ain't nothing but tired, man I'm just tired and bored with myself Hey there baby, I could use just a little help (Chorus) You can't start...

Tonight you're letting go, under the burning glow We're too young to hold this all on our own All that came and went riding them by the winds Blowing through the trees, you can feel it on your skin Walking the lost streets, no one ever shares Cry yourself...

Stop this runaway car I wanna get off, I wanna go back If I left you there then I left it all behind 'Cause all I'm feeling now Is the weight of the world bearing down I don't have answers to any of my questions anymore 'Cause I might have been wrong I might...

When the train pulls out at dawn Will it be something that's gone In the rubble and the steam Will you save a line for me When my back's against the wall And there's no one else to call With the bell down on me Will you save a line for me (a line for me) The...
