Somewhere To Hide - Matt Nathanson

She said come along with me, I’ve got offerings for you my

Sweet, sweet boy

She promised warmth too, but I knew better

Her words broke hot against my neck

And tasting the sweet, sweet numb of regret on my lips

I filled my pockets and closed the door

And I tasted all I’d left behind, but shameful I crawled naked

Searching for somewhere to hide

And in the end she said it was memorable and comfortable

But funny, I wouldn’t have used those words

The secrecy and her bed, it was choking me with a knot in my gut

You have beautiful empty eyes, I’m sure of that much

Oh princess open your eyes and close your mouth

Else all that spite you swallow willingly, it just might fall out

And I’ve seen you smile wide, I’ve seen you at your best

And it left me feeling sick inside and unimpressed

And I tasted all I’d left behind, but shameful I crawled naked

Searching for somewhere to hide
