Matchbox 20 - Busted (Lyrics in description)

Well, I forget when words were only words
She knows the party makes me nervous
In this stage we can't get hurt
Don't try to understand me

We're too cool to be alone
But not too crazy to get busted

Well, I found out one life just ain't enough
I need another soul to feed on
I'm the flame I can't get burnt
I'm wholly understated

And I found silence in this space
And on and off again attraction
And I need such amazing grace
Heaven sweep me away, away

Love don't change, don't come around here
Don't wear my heart on your sleeve
Like a high school letter
Don't strain, cuz nothin ever comes from it
And the people we become, well
They've never been the people who we are

Well, I strapped on one horse and prayed for luck
I dug another hole to bleed
I know exactly how this works
I need a new feel dirty

I don't need you crowding up my space
Well, I just want to get inside you, inside
You can't believe the heart you save
Giving something away, away

Love don't change, don't come around here
Don't wear my heart on your sleeve
Like a high school letter
Don't strain, cuz nothin ever comes from it
And the people we become, well
They've never been the people who we are
Don't change, don't come around here
Don't mistake this for something more
For something better, well
Don't strain, cuz nothin ever comes from it
And the people we become
They've never been the people who we are

Well, I dreamed that the world was crumbling down
We sat on my back porch and watched it

(Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart)

Well, I dreamed that the buildings all fell down
We sat on my back porch and watched it

Yeah, well, I dreamed that the world was crumbling down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
In my head I heard the sound
Like fifteen strangers dancing

But oh how I want you to know me
Oh how I want you to know me
Oh how I wish I was somebody else, baby
Oh how I wish you could own, own me

Love don't change, don't come around here
Don't wear my heart on your sleeve
Like a high school letter
Don't strain, cuz nothin ever comes from it
And the people we become, well
They've never been the people who we are
Don't change, don't come around here
Don't wear my heart on your sleeve
Like a high school letter
Don't strain, well nothin ever comes from it
And the people we become, well
They've never been the people who we are
Who we are
Who we are
Yeah

[Snoocherdoodle]

It's not 15 strangers dancing, it's 50 angels dancing.

[PH89ERA]

@Snoocherdoodle I think it's 15 strangers. I will check though.

[scobjo]

I sat on my back porch and watched it!!!!!!!!!!!

[naturalperson1]

i don't care what anybody says...This song is real, & i can relate...It doesn't get any better then that!

[12345678nes]

@katzinhatz1 oh thanks, who knew

[23BleedingMascara]

@Snoocherdoodle No, It's 15 Strangers dancing. Go to 3:16, you could hear it clearly.

[gbfansean]

@23BleedingMascara Me too best fuckin' band ever!

[gbfansean]

This song is so sick! From the legend Rob Thomas Matchbox Twenty was the shit back then all you little teenie boppers today listening to Justin Beiber

[katzinhatz1]

@12345678nes i just looked up the meaning of the song. it's about a relationship that started off really powerful and emotional but became just about sex and physical attraction with no emotion and the guy is starting to realize this.

[12345678nes]

oh i wish he could know me...

[12345678nes]

Idk what he is singing about but pleeeaassee don't stop. I put this song on blast (as loud as my computer will go) and rock it out. Rob's voice just does something to me. Oh. Black girls rock.

"I'm the flame, I can't get burnt"

I have always loved that lyric.
