Lyrics Matt Nathanson

Matt Nathanson

Detroit Waves

So, we let it go to start again

Knowing now how all our best intensions

Never lit the world on fire

Lights, illuminate the exit signs

And over the wings the skies an open endless sea

Crowding up surrounding me

And all, Detroit waves

Goodnight

Spread out

Beneath

Me now

If I could, if I could change

Believe me

I would, I would for you

(my love)

And when, you're warm enough to share your sheets

Cold enough to make it seem that I was only there long enough to disappear

You know I'll still, say your name to fall asleep

Over and over a cynic saying rosary

A liar living make believe

And all, of Detroit waves

Goodnight

Spread out

Beneath

Me now

If I could, if I could change

Believe me

I would, yes I would

And Detroit waves

And Detroit waves, goodnight

Spread out

Beneath me now

If I could

If I could change

Believe me

I would

Yes I would

And Detroit Waves

Detroit Waves
