Lyrics Livin' Thing - Matthew Sweet

Livin' Thing

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It’s like magic
Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin'
It’s magic
And you, and your sweet desire
You took me higher and higher
It’s a livin' thing
It’s a terrible thing to lose
It’s a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose
Making believe this is what you conceived
From your worst day
Moving in line then you look back in time
To your first day
And you, and your sweet desire
You took me higher and higher
It’s a livin' thing
It’s a terrible thing to lose
It’s a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose
Takin' a dive 'cos you can’t halt the slide
Floating downstream
So let her go Don’t start spoiling the show
It’s a bad dream
And you, and your sweet desire
You took me higher and higher
It’s a livin' thing
It’s a terrible thing to lose
It’s a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose
