Matthew Sweet Album

She remembers how we met
Through a friend of ours
I took her for a ride and laid her
Underneath the stars
And even now it makes me laugh to think we wanted more
And always talked about how hard it was
When really it was so
Easy

It was so easy
It was so easy

And ever since this stroke of luck
I was feeling fine
Sometimes even seemed this life
Might be a friend of mine
But all these notions disappeared as soon as she was gone
It was as hard as they had always said
Somehow we were so

Easy
We were so easy

We always talked about how hard it was
When really it was so

Easy
We were so easy
We were so easy
We were so easy

You think you're so fast, but I know who Said it was the first..
..place, it wasn't you
And you think you're so smart, but I don't know.........
(know) Every now and then..
... I guess it starts to show

And I'm just like you, I don't wanna be alone
I don't know what to do, I'm sittin' around at home
Waiting for love to appear when I feel again


I wasted the best of my time
(time) Hating to think it was mine
(mine) Looking away

You think you're so cool, but I've seen through
People who for years have been holding you
And you think I'm so small, but I am not
Now we're talking big, honey, I miss you a lot
'Cause I'm just like you, I don't wanna be alone
I don't know what to do, so I'm sittin' around at home
Waiting for love to appear when I feel again

You think you're so cool, but I've seen through
The people who for years have been holding you
And you think you're so smart, but I don't know
Every now and then I guess it starts to show
And I'm just like you, I don't wanna be alone
I don't know what to do, I'm sittin' around at home
Waiting for love to appear when I feel again

I wasted the best of my time
(time) Hating to think it was mine
(mine) Looking away

Oh I used to sit around all day
What would I do if I found her
Figuring out what I might say
For a moment she was wonderful
So I know I've got a little luck comin' to me
Got a little luck comin' to me

I guess I'd never seen a girl as easy to explain
The wind and the sun got to talking
Wind and the sun * her there
Like I'd never seen a woman beautiful and tame
Wind and the sun got together
Wind and the sun in her hair

All the seasons seem to congregate
Winter the cool of her whisper
Summer the warmth of her hair
Autumn at her eyes of *
Spring at the sound of her laughter
Never will dissipate

And I guess I'd never seen a girl as easy to explain
The wind and the sun got to talking
Wind and the sun * her there
Like I'd never seen a woman beautiful and tame
Wind and the sun got together
Wind and the sun in her hair

Spring at the sound of her laughter (spring at the sound of her laughter)
Never will dissipate

And I guess I'd never seen a girl as easy to explain
The wind and the sun got to talking
Wind and the sun * her there
Like I'd never seen a woman beautiful and tame
Wind and the sun got together
Wind and the sun in her hair

3014, we're still around
Even the cure for cancer was found
People come to life every day
Watching their futures drifting away
And there's a nagging thought in the back of my head
Would we love forever if we'd never be dead?

(Forever) I'll be yours, and you be my girl
(Forever) We will live in this magical world
(Forever) Children of time, we sing and we shout
(Forever) Still don't know what our lives are about

At 4060, what might we see?
I'm not concerned about you and me
But the crazy people still in their right minds
With nothing better to do with their time
Than driving in their cars with our kids
Higher than we've ever been

(Forever) You be mine, and I'll be your man
(Forever) We will live in this magical land
(Forever) Children of time, we sing and we shout
(Forever) Still don't know what our lives are about

I see planes in the sun
Will we not remember what we've done?

I'm in love with this small planet
Any other way, I just wouldn't have it
When God sings his final song unto man
Then came back to the river where time began
Exploring all our senses as one
Sure, it'll be a whole lot of fun

(Forever) I'll be yours, and you be my girl
(Forever) We will live in this magical world
(Forever) Children of time, we sing and we shout
(Forever) Still don't know what our lives are about
(Forever) You be mine, and I'll be your man
(Forever) We will live in this magical land
(Forever) Children of time, we sing and we shout
(Forever) Still don't know what our lives are about
(Forever) Children of time, we sing and we shout
(Forever) Still don't know what our lives are about
(Forever) Children of time, we sing and we shout
(Forever)

You could change your mind forever
You could change your style of dress
You could find another lover
But you'll never find love
You will never find love

You could swear you never live here
Forget you knew my name
You could find another lover
But you'll never find love Not like this, no
You will never find love


As the days begin to pass us
And the nights, well they tend to flow
And you're with some other lover
Will you tell him who I was?
And you will never find love


You could find another lover
But you'll never find love
Not like this, baby
No, you will never find love
Not like this, baby

(Fade)

Living with my hopelessness
I wasn't very smart
But I died an early death
But now I know I wasn't alive yet

There's a mountain in the side of me
My vision that you can't see
She never touched me like you do, mama
Each time I take a little bit, take a little bit
take a little more
You know, got vertigo

What about the things we said
In strictest confidence
Does this mean I'll have to stop pretending that I'm not scared of heights *now
There's a mountain in the side of you
My vision, I swear it's true
*You never touch you like I do (oh no)
Each time I take a little bit, take a little bit
take a little more
you know, that's vertigo

Each time I take a little bit, take a little bit
take a little more
you know, that's vertigo
Each time I take a little bit, take a little bit
take a little more
you know, that's vertigo
There's a mountain in the side of me
My vision that you can't see
She never touched me like you do, mama
Each time I take a little bit, take a little bit
take a little more
you know, that's vertigo
Got vertigo, that's vertigo...vertigo, got vertigo

(Fade)

Me and my girl are going underground
Got no time to tell you what we found
People in this world aren't very kind
And love is blind, love is blind

All we want is on our minds
We don't have a map, we don't follow signs
Seems useless for you to look for attack
No tracking us down and no bringing us back

Me and my girl are going underground
Got no time to tell you what we found
People in this world aren't very kind
And love is blind, love is blind

We are going very far
You can't take a plane, you can't take a car
Seems useless for you to look for attack
No tracking us down and no bringing us back

All we want is on our minds
We don't have a map, we don't follow signs
Seems useless for you to look for attack
No tracking us down and no bringing us back

Me and my girl are going underground
Got no time to tell you what we found
People in this world aren't very kind
And love is blind, love is blind

Me and my girl are going underground
Got no time to tell you what we found
People in this world aren't very kind
And love is blind, love is blind

Do you realize you're laughing while you're reaching for the gin
Even though I threaten that I'm never coming back again
The sweetest song you sing will never calm my fear
'Cause once the alcohol is talking, you're not even here

Look into my eyes and tell me I have been the only one
And that you put a limit on the things that you might do for fun
I tell myself there's nothing I should really fear
It's just the alcohol that's talking, you're not even here
That's right

Yes I figured out, hey you, that time is never gonna change
You say you get your life in order but you only rearrange
To say I'm disappointed, it isn't really fair
It's just the alcohol that's talking, I don't even care
It's just the alcohol that's talking, you're not even here
That's right
That's all

If we stop to think of life
As time that's running slow
From birth to death like day to night
It isn't very far to go

So I'm cruisin' (cruisin') with my pretty little vixen
I can't believe the strength of my addiction
To absolute freedom
Cruisin,' ah-huh, with my pretty little vixen
Guided by the depth of her conviction
To absolute freedom

Baby let me talk you down
Or pull you in the snow
Hey honey-thing now don't you frown
They say my feelings never show

'Cause I'm cruisin' (cruisin') with my pretty little vixen
I can't believe the strength of my addiction
To absolute freedom
Cruisin,' ah-huh, with my pretty little vixen
Guided by the depth of her convictions
To absolute freedom

Lover, as you ride with me
Tell me what you see
I'm understanding by and by
Things you thought I'd never try

So I'm cruisin' (cruisin') with my pretty little vixen
I can't believe the strength of my addiction
To absolute freedom
Cruisin,' ah-huh, with my pretty little vixen
Guided by the depth of her conviction
To absolute freedom...

The way that you remember there was nothing to say
So you threw your arms around me, threw your arms around me
Girl you shouldn't think that I've got nowhere to go
But I'll tell you how I felt if you really want to know

How warm in the morning when you asked me to stay
And how cool in the evening when you sent me away
We were right in the middle I was ready to say
How cool in the evening when you sent me away

Baby when you touch me with that look in your eye
I can feel the air around me, feel the air around me
Close enough to whisper, as I soon hope to be
I'll wrap some words around you if that'll make you see

How warm in the morning when you asked me to stay
And how cool in the evening when you sent me away
We were right in the middle I was ready to say
How cool in the evening when you sent me away

Baby when you touch me with that look in your eye
How warm in the morning when you asked me to stay
And how cool in the evening when you sent me away
We were right in the middle I was ready to say
How cool in the evening when you sent me away
How warm in the morning when you asked me to stay
And how cool in the evening when you sent me away
We were right in the middle I was ready to say
How cool in the evening when you sent me away...

I like a little pain
If it wasn't true
There'd be nothing that
I had kept from you
(Wonder whom I guess)
We might be alive
Think it only sane
I've seen them walking

When I was alone
I talked as much like you
As my words would allow
Like you showed me to
Touching in our sleep
Moving very slow
* in a daze
We ought to know

These words of mine
Can only start to climb
Those thoughts in my head
Break on and on
I'm having a bad dream
So it isn't true
Anybody else
Could have looked like you
Pull me by surprise
Laughing like you do
Looking in my eyes
Only passing...
