Walk Around The Moon lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
I had found a stranger walking in the woods
She was not quite like anyone I knew
Red dress, polka dots, shadows in her head
She said, "You take me and I take you there"
Now she's goin' 'round and 'round inside of my head
I think I'm just a little too close to the edge
You took everything from me
And now I'm falling into this never-ending sea
I know you got your best to give to me
You know you hold me up
I know it seems that I have crossed into a dream
Since I, I been flyin', so fly
Big stack, jump back, crumble into you, boy
Good boy, won't stay as high as your eyes
Sister, twisted, my love to fly
But I wanted for you to give a little bit of everything
I know you got your best to give to me
You know you hold me up
I know it seems that I have crossed into a dream
Since I, I been flyin', so fly
It's blue and it's red
Found a new door to open my head
How could I go to bed?
Think I'll walk 'round the moon instead
It was blue and it was red
Found a new door inside of my head
How could I go to bed?
Think I'll walk 'round the moon instead
We're gonna take it so far down
I was just a little close to the edge
And you pull me back and said, "That's not how it ends
'Cause you gave me everything"
I'm flying into this kaleidoscope dream
I know you got your best to give to me
You know you hold me up
I know it seems that I have crossed into a dream
Since I, I been flyin', so fly
It's blue and it's red
Found a new door to open my head
How could I go to bed?
Think I'll walk 'round the moon instead
And it was blue and it was red
Found a new door inside of my head
How could I go to bed?
Think I'll walk 'round the moon instead
Madman's Eyes lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
Oh, little Billy's got a gun
Little Billy's having fun
Shooting bottles on the wall
Dreams the hero come home from war
Is this real? Is this make-believe?
We think we know how everything's supposed to be
Like a train blowing full steam ahead
Can't hear what you're saying with everybody screaming
I'm afraid, can't lie
Mama said, "Baby, don't you cry
In the dark, be the light
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight"
To believe is blind
Don't sacrifice another child
It's not black and white
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes
The truth might not be crystal clear
But if might is right, there's no room for love in here
Pray to God and hope he's listening
Man with a gun brings the demons in
Oh, we live as if our hands are tied
Is it really so hard to do what we know is right
To protect the things that we hold dear?
Must we do things that we should never forgive?
I'm afraid, can't lie
Mama said, "Baby, don't you cry
In the dark, be the light
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight"
To believe is blind
Don't sacrifice another child
It's not black and white
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes
Run and hide, don't ask why
Nobody wants to see the look in his eyes
When it's too late to untwist the mind
How do we face hatred with the love inside us?
I'm afraid, can't lie
Mama said, "Baby, don't you cry
In the dark, be the light
Don't let go, baby, hold on tight"
To believe is blind
Don't sacrifice another child
It's not black and white
'Less you're looking through a madman's eyes
Looking For A Vein lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
I'm down in this hole again
Trying to find a vein of something
Hammering these walls and hoping
Hoping to find my way through
What if I strike it rich as I wanna be?
Will it set me free or be just another hole to dig?
I can't give up on this
What am I supposed to do?
Hammering these walls down here
Trying to find a way out
But what if I strike it rich as I wanna be?
Would it set me free or be just another hole to dig?
What will it mean?
What will it mean?
What will it be?
What does it matter?
But I can't give up on this
Always trying to break on through
This air is choking me
But hammering's all I know to do
Do you remember when all this digging began?
I can't stop looking, but what am I looking at?
What will it mean?
What will it mean?
What will it be?
What does it matter?
Maybe I'll find a vein
Hammering these walls and hoping
The Ocean And The Butterfly lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
Once I had a dream
Stuck somewhere in between
The water and the beach, oh
Both worlds out of reach
So with elegance and style
Caught a wave and took a ride
An empty plastic bag
Starry night floats into the black
Look at how she dip and dive
But no one could ever know
How many miles she'll go
Or how she does with such elegance and style
Look at how she dip and dive
Take only what you need
Like the water and the seed
Yeah, so after we are gone
There'll be something good to carry on
All this elegance and style
Dancing with the butterfly, yeah
No maths, no miracle
It's all grown mechanical
Machine by cell's design
To float into the sky
With such elegance and style
The ocean and the butterfly
It Could Happen lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
The lid was on so tight
You just had to bust out
Remember that first night
It fell right into our hands
Oh, and it happened, yes it did
Cut the cord, could not believe it
How it happened, rocket ship
It's like we awoke as if we were dreaming
Could it happen?
Some kind of tripped-out, holy night
Up on the roof, laughing and crying
You were so pale, eyes wide
Like you might not get out alive
Oh, but it happened, and you did
Everyone laughing and dancing
How it happened, what a trip
When we woke up as if we were dreaming
How it happened, everything fit
Looking back, it's hard to believe it
When you wait so long
Remember just trying to prove it
But it takes so long
Forever remember the feeling
Oh, people, they were open wide
Marbled in shadows and light
When you're so loose, you're so tight
Suddenly you're on fire
Oh, how it happened, blew the lid
And got a taste, some kind of magic
It could happen like it did
Like we awoke, we were still dreaming
When it happened like it did
If I wasn't there, I wouldn't believe it
Something To Tell My Baby lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
Well, you know
Someday we're all gonna leave here
Maybe sooner than we wanted
But it's special because it's fleeting
All of the things that we did
What do we leave behind us?
Something that will remind them
Something to make them smile
When they think about it
Something to tell my baby
Something she could reach for
I need something to hold on to
Trying to believe
The stuff that dreams are made of
The cut that just won't heal
The smoke after the fire
As long as we remember
It's as good as real
It's as good as real
Something to keep us hopeful
Something to tell my baby
Forever at the ending
Impossible, but just maybe
Whenever they think about it
There's something to remind them
It's gonna make them smile
And maybe make things easier
Something to tell my baby
After Everything lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
Love is the glue, sticks us together
I know you know you know you know that it is the truth
I make mistakes, you make mistakes, but it don't matter
Because we got love, good love
You spilled the milk, but it don't matter, see I ain't crying
But nothing you do do could ever make me not love you
What you do, what you are, you are
We belong, we belong together
Oh baby, you and me
God dog, it is so beautiful
True love, you are my woman only
I wanna know do you feel alright, baby?
You know you are, yeah
After everything we've been through
I want you to know everything is gonna be all right
Ooh, you are badder than the baddest bad, baby
Badder than the baddest bad, babe
I wanna know, do you feel all right, baby?
After everything that we've been through
Everything is gonna be all right
Yeah, true love, you are my woman only
I wanna know, I wanna know, do you feel all right, baby?
After everything, everything, everything we've been through
All You Ever Wanted Was Tomorrow lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
All of us we're always trying to catch up
Call just to let me know what you think
How is this never quite enough
Lost and always trying to get back, can we get back?
Oh, call the doctor and the doctor came in
She said, "Where does it hurt? You know there's a pill for most everything"
Close your eyes, open wide, and we'll make you smile again
Some people believe in ghosts and some believe in aliens
Just wish I could crawl out of the skin I'm living in
Crawl out of my mind into the outside
Nobody could reach me
If you could crawl out of the skin you're living in
Like some kinda love just opened you up
You know when you feel it
It's the only thing
Oh, don't you feel like you're trying to catch up
Fear makes you jump a little too quick
Time, do we know when it's too late
Always trying to get it back, trying to get it back
But remember all the things that used to be real
Things to help you believe 'cause you wanna make sense of everything
Then there's the first time you crack and you think, "Everyone's laughing at me"
All at once, you're a ghost, you're some kind of alien
Just wish I could crawl out of the skin I'm living in
Crawl out of my mind into the outside
I just want to feel it
If you could crawl out of the skin you're living in
Find some kinda love to open you up
You know when you feel it
It's the only thing
Just wish I could crawl out of the skin I'm living in
Out of my mind into the outside
Nobody could reach me
If you could crawl out of the skin you're living in
Like some kinda love just opened you up
You know when you feel it
It's the only thing
It's the only thing
The Only Thing lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
All of us we're always trying to catch up
Call just to let me know what you think
How is this never quite enough
Lost and always trying to get back, can we get back?
Oh, call the doctor and the doctor came in
She said, "Where does it hurt? You know there's a pill for most everything"
Close your eyes, open wide, and we'll make you smile again
Some people believe in ghosts and some believe in aliens
Just wish I could crawl out of the skin I'm living in
Crawl out of my mind into the outside
Nobody could reach me
If you could crawl out of the skin you're living in
Like some kinda love just opened you up
You know when you feel it
It's the only thing
Oh, don't you feel like you're trying to catch up
Fear makes you jump a little too quick
Time, do we know when it's too late
Always trying to get it back, trying to get it back
But remember all the things that used to be real
Things to help you believe 'cause you wanna make sense of everything
Then there's the first time you crack and you think, "Everyone's laughing at me"
All at once, you're a ghost, you're some kind of alien
Just wish I could crawl out of the skin I'm living in
Crawl out of my mind into the outside
I just want to feel it
If you could crawl out of the skin you're living in
Find some kinda love to open you up
You know when you feel it
It's the only thing
Just wish I could crawl out of the skin I'm living in
Out of my mind into the outside
Nobody could reach me
If you could crawl out of the skin you're living in
Like some kinda love just opened you up
You know when you feel it
It's the only thing
It's the only thing
Break Free lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
She gives a wicked ride
Yes she does
She says "I make you wanna climb right out yourself"
Break free
But have to give up your life
But I was thinking
I love to get inside you
I drink your poison if you fill the cup
You make me crazy baby, don't let up
And if I'm fallin' I don't want to stop
I give up everything to have your love
I drink your poison if you fill the cup
I drink your tears but don't you
Cry cry, cry cry
She is a wicked heart
Yes she is
She goes down so hard
She might never come back
She's gonna break free
She loves to laugh
But I was thinking'
I'd love to get some of that, girl
She's gonna break free
She's gonna break free
That's right
Gonna break free
The way she does me
The way she hates to love me
You fill the cup, I drink you up, baby
I'll drink your poison if you fill the cup
You make me crazy baby, don't let up
Well, if I'm fallin' I don't want to stop
I'll give up everything to have your love
I'll drink your poison if you fill the cup
I'll drink your tears, yeah
Monsters lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
Broke gold toy soldiers lined up 1, 2, 3
Little kid and every thing I did just to save my paper queen
'Cause love won't let me go
No army's gonna save my soul
'Cause love won't let me go
Nothing in the closet
Nothing underneath the bed
Just the monsters in your head
I hear strange voices every step I take
No, you can't cross the ocean if you can't get past the break
Even if fear don't put you down
Oh, won't you lean on me while I'm around
No rope to hang the dead
No line to save the drowning man
Just the monsters in your head
Nothing in the closet
Nothing underneath the bed
Just the monsters in your head
Killer's eyes and painted faces
The Devil wants your soul, but Jesus saves
Traffic jam is an angry maze
The Devil wants your soul, but Jesus saves
Chutes and ladders, pick-up sticks
Counting cars and counting bricks
Driving past the ole five-and-dime
Can't get nothing for a nickel since a long, long time
I won't let you down
Nothing in the closet
Nothing underneath your bed
Just the monsters in your head
No rope to hang the dead
No line to save the drowning man
Just the monsters in your head
Love won't let you go
Love won't let you go
Singing From The Windows lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
When the war is over
And we go back to every day, every day
Will it be the same again
When you've been turned inside out and outside in?
Singing from the windows
Shadows on the wall, the way they dance
Not much of nothing
But look at this fire burning bright
Look at how the children play
None of us know what's to come tomorrow
But I'm not going out today
So dance with me like the time we've got is borrowed
Singing from the windows
Sirens in the dark, where are you going?
Pretend that it's nothing
But look at this fire burning wild
This is how we keep holding on
All days, all day long
But sometimes things just fall apart
No matter how we try, they won't stop
Singing from the windows
Something outside that I don't know
When the war is over
Picking up the pieces of every day
Memories in picture frames
Trying to put the inside out and the outside in
Singing from the windows
Walking down the hall, nowhere to go
Be good to see you
But I suppose when it's all said and done
This is how we keep holding on
All the days, all day long
But sometimes things just come apart
No matter how we try, they won't stop
Singing from the windows
Voices outside and no one knows
Singing from the windows
We'll get going again when the war is over
Christmas Song lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
She was his girl, he was her boyfriend
Soon to be his wife, take him as her husband
A surprise on the way, any day, any day
One healthy little giggling, dribbling baby boy
The Wise Men came, three made their way
To shower him with love
While he lay in the hay
Shower him with love, love, love
Love love, love
Love, love was all around
Not very much of his childhood was known
Kept his mother Mary worried
Always out on his own
He met another Mary who for a reasonable fee
Less than reputable as known to be
His heart was full of love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love was all around
When Jesus Christ was nailed to the his tree
Said "Oh, Daddy-o, I can see how it all soon will be
I came to shed a little light on this darkening scene
Instead I fear I spill the blood of our children all around."
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children's all around
So the story goes, so I'm told
The people he knew were
Less than golden-hearted
Gamblers and robbers
Drinkers and jokers
All soul searchers
Like you and me
Like you and me
Rumors insisted he soon would be
For his deviations taken into custody
By the authorities, less informed than he
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
Searching for love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love was all around
Preparations were made
For his celebration day
He said, "Eat this bread, think of it as me
Drink this wine and dream it will be
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children's all around"
Father up above
Why in all this anger do you fill me up with love, love, love?
Love, love, love
Love, love was all around
Father up above
Why in all this hatred do you fill me up with love?
Fill me love, love, yeah
Love, love, love
Love, love, and the blood of our children all around
I'll Back You Up lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
I remember thinking
I'll go on forever only knowing
I'll see you again
But I know
The touch of you is so hard to remember
But like that touch I know no other
And for sure we have danced
In the risk of each other
Would like to dance
Around the world with me
I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung around my head
And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up
I remember thinking
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
But I know
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
Somehow we keep up with each other
I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung around my head
And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up
I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung around my head
And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up
Minarets lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
Santa Maria
Choose your children
Santa Maria
Virgin child
All our wars
Over you we are fighting
And all our time
Faith justifying
Brother caged
Babylon will fall
Sister chained and bound
Beaten and bleeding
The TV's on
To me this explains it
Wearing a tie
Like Daddy speaks it
Screaming from the minarets
And, later on, we'll all be dancing
Screaming from the minarets
Yes, indeed, and making faces
Rain on the ground in a space, God has grown
Alone 'til a man, looking glass in his hand
He is holding up to you
What you see, what you see, what you see
What you see is human
What you see, what you see, what you see
What you see is human
What you see, what you see, what you see
What you see is human, yeah
Screaming from the minarets
One Sweet World lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
Nine planets around the sun
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered one
So much we take for granted
So let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely
If green should turn to grey
Would our hearts still bloody beat?
If the mountains tumble away, the river dry
Would it stop the stepping feet?
So let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely
Take all that we can get
When it's done
Nobody left to bury here
Nobody left to dig the holes
And here we can rest safely
One sweet world
Around a star is spinning
One sweet world
And in her breath, I'm swimming
And here I will rest in peace
Recently lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
Recently, I've been
All of content and dreaming, I have been
'Cause I been lately seeing
Quite a bit of this woman live on my street
People stare and we just ignore
And we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away, go away
Well, she comes to me, I watch her drink
I watch her comb her hair
Both say that we, oh, never before have
Felt as recently
People stare and we just ignore
"What's the use in hiding out?"
She says all the time
Let their eyes do the worrying about it
Well, she and me go to places quiet
Where we are quite alone
We kiss and we hold together
We will be until we're done
People stare and we just ignore
"What's the use in hiding out?"
She says all the time
Let their eyes do that
Walk and talk, we both do quite well
And kissing all the time, kissing all the time
And I'm looking forward to much more
Both say that we never before
Never before have felt as recently
People stare and we just ignore
And we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away, go away
Go away, go away, go away
Go away, go away, go away
Go away, go away, go away, go away, go away
People stare and we just ignore
And we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away, go away
People stare and we just ignore
"What's the use in hiding out?"
She says all the time
Let their eyes do the worrying about it
And hurrying about it
Seek Up lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
Sometimes, I feel like I'm falling
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Oh, life, it seems a struggle between what we think, what we see
I'm not going to change my ways just to please you or appease you
Inside a crowd, five billion proud, willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong, ashes to ashes, all fall down
I look around about this round about this merry-go-round around
If at all God's gaze upon us fall, his mischievous grin, look at him
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
Oh, sit a while with TV's hungry child, big belly swelled
Oh, for a price of a Coke or a smoke, keep alive those hungry eyes
Take a look at me, what you see in me, mirror look at me
Face it all, face it all again
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, I am innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion and our cup is overflowing
You see up an emotion, sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster for him to fight your wars for you
But when he find his way to you, the devil's not going
Ha, ha
Ha, ha
Say
Oh, say
Look at me and my fancy car and my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down into my grave, I'd save
Take a look again, take a look again, take a look again
Everyday things change, basically they stay the same
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away
Intentions are not wicked, don't be tricked into thinking so
Soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion and your cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion, sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster for him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not going
Ha, ha
Ha, ha
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
The Fly lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
When I pull the wings off of the fly
Fly never wonders why I did it
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did
You know, they didn't ever have to love me
No, no, no and no one will ever love them now
Oh, oh, but they
They always wanted somehow to save me
Why, oh, why
For pity's sake, they should have saved themselves
Oh, oh, but you
You always said I never missed a note
I only ever wanted to be with you
I only wanted someone to play
Play play play
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why
You know, they never really ever have to love me no, no, no
But no one will ever love them now
They always thought that somehow they could save me
Why, oh, why
For pity's sake, they should have saved themselves
Oh, oh, but you
You always said I never missed a note
And nobody ever knew me like you do
You do
You always said it's going to be okay
Okay
I only ever really wanted to be with you
I only wanted someone to play
Play play play
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did it
The Song That Jane Likes lyrics - Dave Matthews Band
And in plays to write the wire in
I'll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I'll come back again, hey
Would you like to play
With the thought of a friend
In a distant passing stage?
While you lie around
With your hands up and down
So resigned you will fall down
While you around here play
Wild on the warm and far away
While you around here play, the days
Keep scribbling themselves in tidy lines
Would you like to play
With a fool holding hands?
With a one-eyed jack of spades?
While on the deck they sing
All of the captain's cards are kings
Still he and the queen are lost at sea
I hope it isn't you and me
And I'll be back 'round again
Yes, I'll walk in time with you, old friend
And we'll find that place
That we had danced in so long ago
And in plays to write the wire in
I'll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I'll come back again
With this resigned
The letter, I sign
