Lyrics Matthew Good

Matthew Good

On Nights Like Tonight

On nights like tonight, when no one's around

I put on the record, the record I found

When I was a kid and the world was a town

And Heartbreaker weren't nothing painful

Carry me Mother Mary I'm faithless

Like Sister Theresa, canonized, faceless

The press release leaves the plagiarist nameless

And all is forgiven

On nights like tonight, when no one's around

I sit in the dark on my hands on the ground

And I smile like the devil smiles, unseen but proud

Truth be told I don't know

Who's at the helm

Just sit tight

And I'll make my way to you

And I'll make my way to you

If I'm not on time

Remember that I tried

Carry me Mother Mary I'm faithless

Like needles in haystacks that we just replace

It's all the same monster that nobody faces

Where all is forgiven

On nights like tonight, when no one's around

I turn off the lights and I float off the ground

And I smile like I used to when you were around

But truth be told I don't know

Who's at the helm

Just sit tight

I'll make my way to you

I'll find a way to get to you

I don't know who's at the helm

Just sit tight

And I'll find a way to get to you
