Matthew Good On Nights Like Tonight
On nights like tonight, when no one's around
I put on the record, the record I found
When I was a kid and the world was a town
And Heartbreaker weren't nothin' painful
Carry me, Mother Mary, I'm faithless
Like Sister Theresa canonized, faceless
The press release leaves the plagiarist nameless
And all is forgiven
On nights like tonight, when no one's around
I sit in the dark, on my hands, on the ground
And I smile like the devil smiles, unseen but proud
Truth be told, I don't know who's at the helm
Just sit tight and I will make my way to you
If I'm not on time, remember that I tried
Carry me, Mother Mary, I'm faithless
Like needles in haystacks that we just replace
It's all the same monster that nobody faces
Where all is forgiven
On nights like tonight, when no one's around
I turn off the lights and float off the ground
And smile like I used to when you were around
But truth be told, I don't know who's at the helm
Just sit tight and I'll make my way to you
I'll find a way to get to you
