Lyrics Somewhere To Hide - Matt Nathanson

Somewhere To Hide

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
