Matthew Brookshire: Lyrics
I Reveal My Heart
take this day, take the light
bring me quiet
take this pain, bring the night
hold me in silence
I believe every word that you say
I feel my fear melting away
with every moment I unravel
I reveal my heart to you
here before you I surrender
offering my love to you
calling out for a sign
war is over
falling here at your side
lost forever
here in the dark I suspend
what morning will bring to an end
chorus
I believe every word that you say
I feel my fear melting away
chorus
I Fall Out
I never met anyone like you before
I knew you were good but you turned out to be so much more
now I spend all my days finding new ways to pinch myself
you're like a dream that I cannot get out of
you are the thing that teaches me about love
how can this be real what I'm feeling inside?
you're so sweet you give me pimples
I could eat out of your dimples
when we meet I could just fall out
I'm so in love
I never knew my way until love found me
now everyday love's falling all around me
late into each night I sit writing your name
you've got a thing that no one’s ever thought of
thought I was safe but somehow I have caught love
let me catch my breath as you scare me to death
chorus
tell me will we have a second date?
I can hardly wait for it
will you tell me that I’m special?
will you call my name out loud?
chorus
Falling
one more mistake and that’s it
one more wrong move one more piece of bad news and I quit
I can‘t take it today
I’ve been so good keeping up
I read all the papers, said all my prayers for good luck
won’t this world go away?
don’t mean much to anyone especially me
though I try so hard to deny
so safe in my place here up high
and I’m fallling, falling down
yes I’m falling, falling down
remember the plans that I made?
I never got around to, never broke ground
they were delayed
maybe some other day
so tell me who needs to know
if nobody’s watching me why does it worry me so?
is it my turn to pay?
can we get together and settle the bill?
I wanna put up my share
I’m falling fast into nowhere
chorus
Love is a Lesson
is it possible we were meant to be?
seems improbable, that I found you or you found me
I wasn’t looking for love ‘till you came my way
are we comfortable? no more questioning?
have we settled in? are you at rest with me?
can we promise to hang on come what may?
I’ll stay if you will and we’ll try to be good
even when we’re both sure that we’re right
love’s a lesson we’ll learn every night
love’s a lesson we’ll learn every night
did you know that I’m not what I appear to be?
this face I show is just a small part of me
you’ve got a dark side I bet you’ve been hiding away
chorus
we’ll hold fast to the hope of a spring
and the promise of every new thing
all the while I’ll be here with you holding you tight
love’s a lesson we’ll learn
i’ll stay if you will and we’ll try to be good
even when we’re both sure that we’re right
love’s a lesson, love’s a lesson
love’s a lesson we’ll learn every night
love’s a lesson we’ll learn every night
Better
things aren’t going so well, as if you couldn’t tell
I am twisting in the wind
I sit here wrapped in your possession, pardon my obsession
but I’ve still got you under my skin
maybe you have found someone who’ll make your dreams come true
you say he knows you better than I do
and you feel better than you used to
and you’re certain you’re the one he adores
well nothing’s better here without you
I am still yours, I am still yours
you don’t miss the way we touch or even think of me that much
I find that hard to believe
because my days are all about you, nights are cold without you
why does he get the love I should receive?
maybe you have found someone who’ll make your dreams come true
you say he knows you better than I do
chorus
maybe you have found someone who’ll make your dreams come true
no one knows you better than I do
chorus
Mexico
I’ve never been to Mexico
it’s one of the places I’d like to go
would you like to go with me?
‘cause i’ve never been to Mexico
I need somebody who will know
all the things to do and see
we’ll leave when everyone’s asleep
there’s nothing here that will not keep
maybe come back in the spring
I don’t speak Spanish very well
I count on you to show and tell
I don’t wanna miss a thing
I’ve never been to Mexico
your family lived there years ago
does it call to you at night?
does it creep into your dreams? are you kissed by sun beams?
a crystal ocean blue and bright?
I’ve never been to Mexico
it’s one of the places I’d like to go
would you like to go with me?
‘cause i’ve never been to Mexico
I need somebody who will know
all the things to do and see
Wedding Song
I flew half way across the country for this
changed planes and you’re changing your name Saturday
it’s so fun I can’t stand it
you both must be happy, hooray
but there’s one more thing I’d like to say
do you really wanna go and marry him?
are you sure you wanna go and marry him?
though it may seem like you’re living some dream
I see the life you’ll be waking up in
do you wanna marry him?
tell me where is the old girl I once knew?
did she trade in her dreams for a carat or two?
I know I’ve had one too many
but now i see clearly, I do
what living down here has done to you
do you really wanna go and marry him?
are you sure you wanna go and marry him?
there’s still some time to start changing your mind
I am telling you now as your friend
you don’t wanna marry him
didn’t we swear that we’d never give in to them or become one of them
maybe I misunderstood
‘cause we drifted apart the way people do, turned into someone new
I think I’ve lost you for good
I’m so glad I got to share in your day
it was beautiful, you look beautiful
I loved the part when he read us that poem by Rilke
