we shouldn't be talking about this

I was watching Dan in Real Life the other day and there's a fantastic line in the film that says something like, "If you want to be honest, then sing."

2:30 and a sober note seeker on the internet train with a cabbage patch streaker
sun blistered and I paraphrase a lot shooting straight from the hip but the bullet gets caught
tonight Im gonna make us so thick with the back of my throat and the tip of your
moonlighting as the coat around you there are many many colors, but theres only one hue

so you say that you been missin me some, well its out of my hands while youre under his thumb
I dont know what you expect me to say, I deliberate fine when youre out of my way
I aint the kind to make a move on a guy while somebody else is in the apple of his eye
But you peel it all in front of my sight, and now its true I wanna take a bite

Give it up and leave it all to the skill, Id encourage you to win—but the better man will
What you doin in the privacy of doesnt interest me if it isnt in love
You impart a predictable account; interrogatory verbs with imperative nouns:
Understand, you see you never had a chance. I was only ever in your pants.

Shut off the city banter, Im incorporated, youre into my stomach
Surrounded by the all the feelings I swallowed down
This week, its rained all summer and Im wet eyed and water-logged
The only light Ive seen is a firetruck glow.

Somebody saved somebody, so

I put your photograph on the wallpaper screen of my phone
You never answer my calls when Im leaving you alone
Seems like the two-tone dial is an ampersand between our lips
Were always making out, but in ears and fingertips

I feel in charge, but not equipped.
We shouldnt be talking about this.

Damn, kid. I dig a bit here and there and look what I find. Beautiful work.

[Oswlek]

Your vocals are so smooth, clear and honest and you lyric phrasing is terrific. I prefer listening to singers like you over people with loads of range but little truth.

Terrific piano.

Wish I could sit there with you while you sing tome.....honestly in love with you and your voice....Keith

Great track Matt! *****

[robby63]

Bravely crafted, with your trademark emotional and gritty honesty. I agree with Ruby, the ending lines are indeed magnificent.

I really hope that composing this piece was cathartic for you.

Your beauty and the beauty of your music and your voice resonate to make this exceptional in every way.

I love the rawness and honesty of your songs and lyrics. The last 6 lines, in particular, are magnificent. I also love the way you keep coming back.  people keep breaking your heart (as people will do) but you still throw yourself wholeheartedly into the next relationship. I admire that and one day that great quality of yours will pay off :)

i am always stunned by your honest and beautiful work, an this is no exception.

You deserve so much better than this poser, Matt It's cool that you are able to put this out here for him, and more importantly for you.

Your music is great!!
