LYRICS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. AND THE BEAT GOES ON

(Matt White)

Bleecker Street Records/Matt White Music (ASCAP)

Bust it

I don’t wanna waste your time

Spending all of my life

Thinking where we’re going to be this time tomorrow

If it’s the way that I talk or those things that you bought

Please don’t tell me that you’ve changed with all your crying

You waste your time spending all of my dough

If it don’t stop I just won’t take anymore

And the beat goes on

I said all night

Your favorite song

And the beat goes on

Treat me right

It won’t be long

Is it the problems we had

Mine knows my mom and my dad

I would tell you that I changed although I’m lying

What makes you happy you see is when it’s you and its me

No one bothers us with any of their problems

You base your fashion on those glossy magazines

And look for people just to be seen

And the beat goes on

I said all night

Your favorite song

And the beat goes on

Just treat it right

It won’t be long

You think that I don’t know the deal

I’ve seen you around the city swinging

Those hipsters that you’re always with

From SOHO down to the village

And the beat goes on

I said all night

Your favorite song

And the beat goes on

If you treat me right

It won’t be long

And the beat goes on

I said all night

Your favorite song

And the beat goes on

…

(Matt White, Scot Sax)

Bleecker Street Records/Matt White Music (ASCAP), ScotSaxSongs (ASCAP), administered worldwide by PEN Music Group, Inc.

Its so good

You and me

We laugh a lot

We’re just fans

Simple as that

I don’t want it to end but I’m falling in love with the best friend I got

They said you don’t really wanna fall in love

You don’t really wanna mess this up

You don’t really wanna fall in love

Because falling in love just breaks your heart

Hey hey

If we kiss

If we touch

All of this

Could get rough

Ain’t no thing

Ain’t no strains

Ain’t I love you you love me

We won’t get caught up in that stuff that brings

Oh no they said you don’t really wanna fall in love

You don’t really wanna mess this up

You don’t really wanna fall in love

Because falling in love just breaks your heart

Hey hey

They said you don’t really wanna fall in love

You don’t really wanna mess this up

You don’t really wanna fall in love

Because falling in love just breaks your heart

Hey hey

You don’t really wanna fall in love

You don’t really wanna mess this up

You don’t really wanna fall in love

Because falling in love just breaks your heart

Falling in love just breaks your heart

Falling in love just broke my heart

3. SHE’S ON FIRE

(Matt White, Jimmy Messer)

Bleecker Street Records/Matt White Music (ASCAP), Warner Chappell/Jimmy Messer Music (ASCAP)

The morning it comes all night long

I see the next one going over my throne

Its on

Come undone

It’s my first time baby so take it slow

Don’t get me on overload again

See that’s a threat

And I know that you can

Take it a mile

And when my neck explodes yeah

She’s on fire

All night long

Been waiting here

For you to get home from wherever you gone to again

I said its sin

Come back baby come back real fast

It is my first time going on this pass again

I realize it’s a sin

So don’t look at me baby

Nice and slow

Cause when my head gets burnin’

It’s on overload yeah

And I know that you don’t wanna know

And when my head gets going

She’s on fire

Fire fire she’s on fire fire

Can you get higher

Oh she’s on fire

And it is my time

She’s on fire

And when I need to know

She’s on fire

And when I need to go get

She’s on fire

She’s on fire

She’s on fire

She’s on fire

She’s on fire

4. TAKING ON WATER

(Matt White, Madi Diaz)

Bleecker Street Records/Matt White Music (ASCAP), Cherry Lane Ventures Songs/Songs of Madi Diaz Music admin by Cherry Lane Music Publishing Company, Inc. (ASCAP)

You call me when you’re coming through town

You leave me with my skies falling down

You say it’s ‘cause you’re lonely that’s all

Maybe leavings what leaves me better off

Tell me someday you wanna stay

You think its better when you’re running away

It’s your eyes that keep me hanging around

Make me drive all night to get to your house

You know I’m taking on water

You know I’m taking on water

You know I’m taking on water

I’ll wait up one more night to believe

You’ve got the time to give up on me

To pull me from wreckage inside

I’ve been drowning in the heartache I hide

You know I’m taking on water

You know I’m taking on water

You know I’m taking on water

Just go if you won’t leave

I think we both know where you’re wanted to be

You know I’m taking on water

You know I’m taking on water

You know I’m taking on water

You know I’m taking on water

5. COLOR BLIND

(Matt White)

Bleecker Street Records/Matt White Music (ASCAP)

Come to me

Dry your eyes

I know you’re feeling lonely

It’s the perfect time

Try to stay grounded

You’re Never in line

I’m leaving you tomorrow in the early light

I don’t want to lose this way again

A second chance to make a stand

We just failed to far behind

I’ve always known you’re colorblind

Let me try and change your mind

I am colorblind

Say goodbye I would die

I won’t compromise

Let me try and change your mind are you colorblind

When you look

At me that way

Behind those eyes is what I crave

I feel no weakness hear no lie

I see you reflection in a strangers eyes

I don’t wanna lose this way again

A second chance to make a stand

We just fell too far behind

I’ve always known I’m colorblind

Let me try and change your mind

To be colorblind

Say goodbye I would die

Are you colorblind?

We may never say never

Love is on its way

It’s a dream we share together

To look at you this way and smile

Let me try to change your mind

We are colorblind

Say goodbye I would die

We are colorblind

Let me try to change your mind

We are colorblind

We are colorblind

6. WHEN I FALL

(Matt White)

Bleecker Street Records/Matt White Music (ASCAP)

I never dreamed that we’d be here again

I’ve said you’re perfect like a thousand times

I’ve held it in through all your ignorance

And never said that I didn’t have the time

Broken hearts don’t heal when you’re around

I wish we had more strength on solid ground

‘Cause I feel like I always let you down

‘Cause that explain it somehow

When I fall

Will you catch me when I fall

Will you catch me when I fall

Will you catch me when I fall

I’ve always dreamed of what our future holds

And no one ever has to second guess

How late he is the one whose always blessed

I hope that one day we may meet again

I was up all night when I thought that you were sick

Crawled through rain to grab your cigarettes

Waited all night when I had some other place to be

Never though you’d love a guy like me

When I fall

Will you catch me when I fall

Will you catch me when I fall

My heads down when I’m feeling small

Winters cold in the seasons

New York’s got no solid ground

I’m always looking for a reason

To keep my head from falling down

When I fall

Will you catch me when I fall

Will you catch me when I fall

Will you catch me when I fall

When I fall

7. HONEYMOON PHASE

(Matt White)

Bleecker Street Records/Matt White Music (ASCAP)

I got a rare condition

Of letting my loves go

Scared of moving out of mamas house

And growing old alone

When he’s talking at me

Asking what I do

My sisters asking too many questions

Asking way too soon

When you’re young

Your feelings grow

But first its miles

That seems to grow

That’s the honeymoon phase

The honeymoon phase

Go to man on 85th Street

Or a downtown restaurant

Taking the town and going underground

See a Broadway and run around

Sunday we wake up so early

And walk through Central Park

The silent soul of New York City

Never make it dark

But when you’re young

The feelings grow

But first its miles

That seem to grow

That’s the honeymoon phase

The honeymoon phase

Sometimes I love you

And sometimes I don’t

Sometimes I really need you

Sometimes I’m not too sure

Everything is all right

Excitement never ends

We meet each others friends

Talk about lives and life’s regrets

Does that make any sense

When you’re young

The feelings grow

But first its miles

That seem to grow

When you’re young

Feelings grow

But first its miles

That seems to grow

That’s the honeymoon phase

The honeymoon phase

8. THERAPY

(Matt White)

Bleecker Street Records/Matt White Music (ASCAP)

Called my doctor this morning

And I told his issues his warnings were just now getting to me

Oh how could that be

I think I’m stable and willing and able

To be consistently willing to please

And ask her to hold me oh why can’t that be

I was rolling the dice until I found you

I was rolling the dice until I found you

My mom is calling me ten times a day to fix me up with my neighbors daughter back from college this may

I’m such a pity case

And then when we made contact I told her there ain’t no way combat my lack of mystery so she hung up on me

I was rolling the dice until I found you

I was rolling the dice until I found you

I was rolling the dice until I found you

I was rolling the dice until I found you

So what if I want to live my life in complete misery

I wish that someone would just give me some peace

I studied hard and earned my degree but no little class can cure this disease except you and me

I’m thankful you see

I was rolling the dice until I found you

I was rolling the dice until I found you

I was rolling the dice until I found you

I was rolling the dice until I found you

She’s a lady of the highest degree

When I met her downtown here in therapy

So take it from me

I finally believe

I was rolling the dice until I found you

I was rolling the dice until I found you

I was rolling the dice until I found you

I was rolling the dice until I found you

9. TEACHER TEACHER

(Matt White)

Bleecker Street Records/Matt White Music (ASCAP)

Teacher teacher teach me a song

And I’ll play it all night long

And when my mind was ill I took a little something a little pill

And I dreamed in colors of blue jeans downtown burning like the fourth of July I

Know that something is brewing I don’t know why I can’t see it tonight

It’s alright it’s alright you and I will always be

Don’t be shy don’t be shy cause you’re my fantasy

Preacher preacher sing me a hymn and I promise to never sin

Bad thoughts coming through my head

I’m seeing different colors like purple and red

I feel like something is brewing down on the corner between sunset and vine

I know that something is going

I don’t know why

I don’t see eye to eye

It’s alright its alright you and I will always be

Don’t be shy don’t be shy cause you’re my fantasy

It’s alright

It’s alright

You and I will always be

Don’t be shy don’t be shy you belong with me

If you’re leaving I’ll let you go

How you feeling

Don’t let me know

Just leave it alone

It’s alright it’s alright you and I will always be

Don’t be shy don’t be shy cause you’re my fantasy

It’s alright it’s alright you and I will always be

Don’t be shy don’t be shy you and I will always be

It’s alright it’s alright it’s alright it’s alright

You belong with me

It’s alright it’s alright it’s alright it’s alright

You and I will always be

10. OFF MY WALL

(Matt White, Sam Farrar)

Bleecker Street Records/Matt White Music (ASCAP), Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp/Master Control Programming (BMI)

I’m sitting here all alone at night

I’m losing sleep all of the time

If I did it better would you stay this way

I’m drinking whiskey to stop all my pain

If I ever knew there was a girl like you

To break my heart and tear it in two

I’m sayin’ please please don’t you ever leave me this way

I’ll catch you in the rise and fall

I know I’ll be better off someday

Scared to take that picture off of my wall

I believe we could’ve done so well

It’s killing me girl you left me in hell

In every song I still see your face

And all those years they just went to waste

If I ever knew there was a girl like you

That broke my heart and ripped it in two

I’m sayin’ please please don’t you ever leave me this way

I’ll catch you in the rise and fall

I know I’ll be better off someday

I’m scared to take that picture off of my wall

I said everything a thousand times

Was it really all that bad

And did you want me to lose my mind

Did that make you glad

‘Cause it made me mad

I’m sayin’ please please don’t you ever leave me this way

I’ll catch you in the rise and fall

I know I’ll be better off someday

I’m scared to take that picture off of my wall

Please please don’t you ever leave me this way

I know I’ll catch you in the rise and fall

I know I’ll be better off someday

I’m scared to take that picture off of my wall

11. SUNSHINE

(Matt White)

Bleecker Street Records/Matt White Music (ASCAP)

Heads up I need some relief from the same old groove

It’s getting to me

I hope that I can find something better on the other side

Traffic jam the 405 I hate my job a workin’

It’s a 9 to 5 when Friday comes all I do is get some sleep

How ‘bout some sunshine

I need a little bit of sunshine

I need a little bit of sunshine

I need a little bit of sunshine from you

Back at home it’s the same old thing

Flights delayed run around moneys down the drain

My bankcards empty and I could really use to win the lottery

Right now I’m headed down this road again

It’s a breakdown

It’s under my skin

Its cold and its raining on a Sunday night in NYC

How ‘bout some sunshine

I need a little bit of sunshine

I need a little bit of sunshine

I need a little bit of sunshine from you

It’s a sad sad situation

Cause I’m feeling so small

I’ve been looking for inspiration

On your facebook wall

How ‘bout some sunshine

I need a little bit of your sunshine

I need a little bit of sunshine

I need a little bit of sunshine again

I need a little bit of sunshine

I need a little bit of sunshine

I need a little bit of sunshine from you

I need a little bit of sunshine

I need a little bit of sunshine

I need a little bit of sunshine from you

So sunshine, I need a little bit of your sunshine

I need a little bit of sunshine

I need a little bit of sunshine from you
