Better Than I Used To Be (Acoustic) lyrics - Mat Kearney

We used to be kids in the backseat wastin' time

Talkin' bout' high hopes and day dreams

Never thought love never thought life

Could take us far beyond what we believed

As long as I got your love next to me

Better than I used to be

Mmm

I been chasin' this dream

I'm so glad you understand

Climbing up a mountain, would it leave you hardly standing

Things don't go just the way you planned it

But I never thought we'd have, so much to take for granted

You never know what you got till it's gone

Guess I never know cause I know you're my only one

We used to be kids in the backseat wastin' time

Talkin' bout' high hopes and day dreams

Never thought love never thought life

Could take us far beyond what we believed

As long as I got your love next to me

Better than I used to be

Better than I used to be

It's been a long day alone

And I can hardly stand it

My plane leaves tomorrow

But my heart has already landed

Things didn't go, just the way I planned it

But I never thought we'd have, so much to take for granted

You never know what you got till it's gone

Guess I never know cause I know you're my only one

You're only one

We used to be kids in the backseat wastin' time

Talkin' bout' high hopes and day dreams

Never thought love never thought life

Could take us far beyond what we believed

As long as I got your love next to me

Better than I used to be, mmm

Better than I used to be

We used to be kids in the backseat wastin' time

Talkin' bout' high hopes and day dreams

Never thought love never thought life

Could take us far beyond what we believed

As long as I got your love next to me

Better than I used to be

Better than I used to be, oh

Better than I used to be

Better than I used to be

Christmas Miracle lyrics - Christmas Miracle

December nights

Used to never quite burn so bright

Like the orange in your eyes

In the yuletide firelight

And the singing out on the streets

Kids are waiting on the snow

How they feel I finally know

It's a Christmas miracle

That you gave to me

Wasn't hanging in a stocking babe

Or waiting under the tree

I used to not understand

What all the fuss this time of year was for

You're taking my cold cold heart

And making it warm

It's a Christmas miracle

Some people might say

I was a Grinch in my old ways

Til you came my way

With the hope of the holidays

And the singing out on the streets

Kids are waiting on the snow

How they feel I finally know

It's a Christmas miracle

That you gave to me

Wasn't hanging in a stocking babe

Or waiting under the tree

I used to not understand

What all the fuss this time of year was for

You're taking my cold cold heart

And making it warm

It's a Christmas miracle

It's the best time of year

Riding on a one horse open sleigh

With a dear

Now I understand

It's a Christmas miracle

That you gave to me

Wasn't hanging in a stocking babe

Or waiting under the tree

I used to not understand

What all the fuss this time of year was for

You're taking my cold cold heart

And making it warm, warm, warm

I used to not understand

What all the fuss for mistletoe was for

Come a little closer babe

And give me some more

Christmas miracle

Dancing In The Dark lyrics - Mat Kearney

Get up in the evening,and I ain't got nothing to say

I come home in the morning,I go to bed feeling the same way

I ain't nothing but tired, Man I'm just tired and bored with myself

Hey there baby I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark

This guns for hire even if we're dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving round the place

I check myself out in the mirror, I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face

Man I ain't going nowhere, I'm just sitting in a dump like this

There's something happening somewhere, baby I just know that there is

You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark

This guns for hire even if we're dancing in the dark

you sit around getting older, there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me

I'll shake this world off my shoulders, come baby this laughs on me

Stay on the streets of this town, they'll be carving you up alright

They say you got to stay hungry, hey baby I'm just about starving tonight

I'm dying for some action, I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book

I need a love reaction, come on now baby give me just one look

You can't start a fire, sitting around crying over broken hearts

This guns for hire even if we're dancing in the dark

You can't start a fire, worrying about your little world falling apart

This guns for hire even if we're dancing in the dark

Edge Of The World lyrics - Mat Kearney

C'mon get your hand in mine

Gonna see all we can find

The rainbows grow and the wild wind blows

Gonna leave all the rest behind

Cause I might have found

The edge of the world

Heaven rises inside your voice

Do you see what I can see

Singing ba pa da ba ba ba

Dream a little dream with me

Singing la la la la la la

Painting outside the lines

Maybe we can find the edge of the world

Maybe we can find the edge of the world

Jumping into the deep

Of all that we want to be

See the colors in my head

The purple and the red

Feel it falling down so free

Cause I might have found

The end of time

Oceans falling to your eyes

[Chorus]

Kings & Queens (Acoustic) lyrics - Mat Kearney & Jillian Jacqueline

I don't need much with you my love

'Cause the champagne drains and the airplane fame turns into rust

I don't need much with you my love

'Cause the Hollywood Hills won't ever make me feel as good as us

You got me singin'

We don't need no bankroll make us feel alive

We don't need no Benzo, to feel like we can ride

Richer than Solomon with you by my side

We'll be Kings and Queens in our own mind

We don't need no jet plane feel like we can fly

We don't need no gold chain just to watch it shine

24 karat lives we don't got the time

We'll be Kings and Queens in our own mind

I got everything I'll ever need

You can cash every check try to buy a respect that's incomplete

I got everything I'll ever need

Don't gotta make it to the top yeah to know what I got

With you and me

You got me singin'

We don't need no bankroll make us feel alive

We don't need no Benzo, to feel like we can ride

Richer than Solomon with you by my side

We'll be Kings and Queens in our own mind

We don't need no jet plane feel like we can fly

We don't need no gold chain just to watch it shine

24 karat lives we don't got the time

We'll be Kings and Queens in our own mind

All the feels tonight are real

All that's real you can't buy or steal

All the feels tonight are real

All that's real you can't buy or steal

We don't need no bankroll make us feel alive

We don't need no Benzo, to feel like we can ride

Richer than Solomon with you by my side

We'll be Kings and Queens in our own mind

We don't need no jet plane feel like we can fly

We don't need no gold chain just to watch it shine

24 karat lives we don't got the time

We'll be Kings and Queens in our own mind

We'll be Kings and Queens in our own mind

Times Like This lyrics - Mat Kearney (feat. Devon Gilfillian)

Everybody's tryna say

Say what's on their mind

But somebody's gotta stay

Stay and see the other side

Baby, we ain't tryna run

We were never gonna hide

If the levee's gonna break

Then let the river rise

'Cause we got love for times like this

Times where nothing else makes sense

No, I don't know what comes next

But we got love for times like this

Everybody feels afraid

Afraid of what they find

When the mountain in the way

Feels too hard to climb

Well, the tide is gonna turn

And the sky ain't gonna fall

No, I don't care what you heard

We gonna make it through it all

'Cause we got love for times like this

Times where nothing else makes sense

No, I don't know what comes next

But we got love for times like this, yeah

Times like this

Times like this, like this

Times like this, like this, like this, yeah

Everybody's tryna say

Say what's on their mind

But somebody's gotta stay

Stay and see the other side

'Cause we got love for times like this

Times where nothing else makes sense

No, I don't know what comes next

But we got love for times like this

We got love for times like this

Times where nothing else makes sense

No, I don't know what comes next

We got love for times like this

Times like this

Times like this, like this, like this

Times like this

Times like this, like this, like this

Walking Over The Water lyrics - Mat Kearney

I raised my glass toward heaven

On that night that she was born

Praised your name and gave you thanks

And I bought the house a round

She came like a thief of glory

Stole my pain and gave me life

These tears I thought were long, long gone

Fell like rivers from my eyes

Was that you walking over the water

When the sunlight that came pouring through the cracks

Was that you shining in the face my a daughter

Never thought you’d come again to take me back

Raised my eyes toward heaven

She was floatin’ down our stairs

Backpack and a bright red skirt

And a river of long black hair

He came like a thief of glory

And he stole her heart that day

Ever since she started crawlin’

I always knew she’d sail away

Was that you walking over the water

Well, I watched my baby slippin’ through the cracks

Walked the isle and gave away my daughter

Never thought there’d come a day she would look back

Raised my fist toward heaven

From that dark forsaken road

Blue lights flashed on broken glass

The siren left me cold

He came like a thief of glory

And he left a finger prints

Should I thank you, should I blame you

In a storm that won’t relent

Was that you walking over the water

While the ocean came pouring through the cracks

Was that you calling out Adam’s daughter

I never thought you’d come again to take her back

You always said you’d come again to take us back

Ooooo Ooooo

Ooooo Ooooo

Walls lyrics - ROZES & Mat Kearney

I've been tryna find your heart

But you keep burnin' all the bridges to where you are

I've been lookin' for a spark

But you just disappear and leave me here in the dark

Will it really make a difference

If nobody's gonna listen?

How could you be close to me physically

But feel so distant?

Feels like you drew a long line

And now I'm on the wrong side

And if we don't believe the same, dream the same

You'd leave me on the outside

Behind your walls

You build them up so tall

You don't even hear me calling

Brick by brick I try to tear them down

But you just stand your ground

You don't even hear the sound of

All my canons raging

Behind your walls

Walls

Walls

Behind your walls

I try to find the words

No matter what I say I swear they go unheard

And they scatter like the leaves

I can tell by the look in your eyes

Though that you don't wanna see

Behind your walls

You build them up so tall

You don't even hear me calling

Brick by brick I try to tear them down

But you just stand your ground

You don't even hear the sound of

All my canons raging

Behind your walls

Walls

Walls

Behind your walls

If I could change what made you this way

I'd buy up that house of blame

And burn it down in our name

But you just stay

Behind your walls

Walls

Walls

Behind your walls

Behind your walls

Walls

Walls

Behind your walls

I've been tryna find your heart

But you keep burnin' all the bridges to where you are

White Christmas lyrics - White Christmas

(originally by Bing Crosby)

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten

And children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten

And children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white

Breathe In, Breathe Out lyrics - Mat Kearney

[from "Grey's Anatomy, Vol. 3" soundtrack]

Breathe in, breathe out,
Tell me all of your doubts,
& Everybody bleeds this way,
Just the same.

Breathe in, breathe out,
Move on and break down,
If everyone goes away i will stay.

We push and pull,
& I fall down sometimes,
I'm not letting go,
You hold the other line.

Cause there is a light in your eyes, in your eyes.

Hold on hold tight,
From out of your sight,
If everything keeps moving on, moving on,
Hold on hold tight,
Make it through another night,
& everyday there comes a song with the dawn,
We push and pull and I fall down sometimes,
I'm not letting go,
You hold the other line.

Cause there is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.
There is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.

Breathe in, and breathe out.
Breathe in, and breathe out.
Breathe in, and breathe out.
Breathe in, and breathe out.

Look left look right,
To the moon in the night.
& everything under the stars is in your arms.

Cause there is a light, in your eyes in your eyes.
There is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.
There is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.
There is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes.
