you stick to my brain
like this bug sticks to my windshield
as i drive through ohio
I stop to get gas
scrape the guts off of the glass
and you're somewere in chicago
and i wonder what its like to dance with you
and i wonder what its like to make love to you
well i'm almost to detroit
and i'm such a happy boy
because you text me happy birthday
i say i'm 26 today and you say "oh you're such a young thing"
and my mind begins to wonder, does she see me like her brother?
is age really just a number? will she feel weird when i hug her?
and does she wonder what its like to dance with me?
does she wonder what its like to make love to me?
when we finally meet again
we drink olive juice and gin
and we sit and talk and smile
we go to your place from the bar
and you hand me hyde's guitar
and i sing to you for a while
then i ask you if you'd like to dance with me
the i ask you if you'd like to make love to me

I got on a plane
Chicago to LA
I stared out my window
And I thought about you for a long time
Your big bright smile
The bits of green in your eyes
The way you listened to me
When I told you about my life
We talked about the dangers of organized religion
And a couple of other things I probably shouldn't mention
And we walked hand in hand
And you always stayed to my left
And you changed the way I feel about love
How maybe just one person may never be enough
Maybe we just find somebody at the time we can trust
And we hold them as close as we can
I love this
whatever I'm feelin I love it
I love this
whatever I'm feelin I love it

The last time I saw you
You were leaving my apartment
On Sunset Avenue
I'd never been in such an empty room
I said I'm sorry
You said I don't understand why
We can't just work it out
Tell me what is this all about
So I tried
You were not only my lover
You were my best friend
And I didn't leave you
To find another
Sometimes even good things must end
I'm doin' ok
I'm done thinkin' of excuses
And words that I could say
I think I'll walk around the park today
Cause I did what I could
No I'm not a perfect person
But I think if you just understood
You'd see soon we'll be better off than you ever thought we would
You were not only my lover
You were my best friend
And I didn't leave you
To find another
Sometimes even good things must end

How long has it been
Since that summer came to and end
Has it been a year since
Colorado took you from me
No, I’m not happy
But I’ll be Ok with knowing you are
Tell me all your sins
Cigarettes and beers with friends
Has it been a years since
Colorado made things easy
You swear that you don’t miss me
But I remember you said that before
And now when I sleep I dream I’m pulling out my teeth
And you say three words to me
But I pretend that I’m not listening
You’ve never meant those words before
You’re in town again
You tell me all about the man
You met up in the mountains
of Colorado
you said he makes you happy
Then you look right at me
and I know now you’ll never be mind again
And now when I sleep I dream that I am lost at sea
And you come to rescue me
But both ships keep on capsizing
And I wake up in love again

Take three deep breaths
Call your grandma
From that parking lot in Davenport
I tell her the truth this time
She seems to take it alright
She says I'll pray for
I say do what you gotta do
She says I love you no matter what
And I say same goes for you
Chase, you know, this sounds a lot like
What your great uncles went through
Move to California, lose your faith
But just like him, you'll come back to god one day
Take one more hit
Kiss af stranger
From the parking lot watch fireworks
I sleep on the roof tonight
Under the purple-black sky
And in the middle of a dream
I can hear someone whispering
Sayin I love you no matter what
I love you no matter what
I love you no matter what
I love you no matter what
I love you no matter what
I love you no matter what

I didn't mean to start that fire
I coulda sworn I put out that cigarette
But you caught me red handed
on the security footage
I threw the butt in the trash
and then twenty minutes later you saw
red flames and smoke
And your Prius was parked right next to
Your tires caught fire and the rest caught with it
Now there's nothin I can say
But I smoke less since that day
I smoke less since that day

Matthew T O'Connor
by Matthew T O'Connor
This is my best friend in the world. At the age of 24 he decided to write then record some music. I think its beautiful and honest music that deserves a listen.
