Lyrics Man You Used To Know - Matthew And The Atlas

Man You Used To Know

Made your way before them
You were open to that voice
Whispering those words back again
In a valley of thoughts
That were dying by your side
Why couldn’t you just confide
Cradling your silence
In the words you cannot say
Justify it for another day
Now the dust has settled
In the empire of your soul
What is it you need to make it whole?
You went to California
Put your body on the road
I should have tried to warn you
Sometime this world is hard to hold
In between the concrete lane
Your mind begins to change
Whispering those words back again
And as the night becomes you
And the codeine hits the pain
What is it you need to start again?
And as the fever rages
In the vanguard of your mind
Looking for that thing you cannot find
Cause you’re walking in the shadow
Of a man you used to know
While you’re leaving your footprints in the snow
You went to California
Put your body on the road
I should have tried to warn you
Sometime this world is hard to hold
Made your way before them
You were open to that voice
Whispering those words back again
In a valley of thoughts
That were dying by your side
Why couldn’t you just confide
You went to California
Put your body on the road
I should have tried to warn you
Sometime this world is hard to hold
Sometime this world is hard to hold
Sometime this world is hard to hold
Sometime this world is hard to hold
