Mad Season

If You're Gone

They say I burn too fast to ever last— Keep my suitcase packed and my heart in the past.
But I’m done with hollow nights and neon truths— I want a slow dance kind of truth.
Had lovers who left like a jukebox song— Good while it played, then it all felt wrong.
Tired of lips that taste like lies— I need real. No alibis.
I’m not chasin’ fire just to feel the burn— This time, I want the love that learns…
I just wanna love somebody like that— Who don’t walk out when the lights go black.
Not a good-time high or a one-night fix, But a front-porch life and a kiss that sticks.
Someone real with no disguise… Who looks at me and sees the guy
They’d write a song about and never take back— I just wanna love somebody like that.
I ain’t the same boy I used to be— Ran from love ‘til love ran from me.
Now I know what I’ve been missin’— Not a thrill… but someone listenin’.
She ain’t gold chains or big city dreams— She’s barefoot truth in faded jeans…
I just wanna love somebody like that— Who don’t walk out when the lights go black.
Not a good-time high or a one-night fix, But a front-porch life and a kiss that sticks.
Someone real with no disguise… Who looks at me and sees the guy
They’d write a song about and never take back— I just wanna love somebody like that.
Not perfect, not polished… but we fit tight— Like hands held in the middle of the night.
And when she says my name that way… I know I’m finally here to stay.
I just wanna love somebody like that— Who don’t walk out when the lights go black.
Not a good-time high or a one-night fix, But a front-porch life and a kiss that sticks.
Someone real with no disguise… Who looks at me and sees the guy
They’d write a song about and never take back— I just wanna love somebody like that.

Matchbox Twenty - Our Song

Formed in Florida, Matchbox Twenty entered the world with a blockbuster -- 1996's YOURSELF OR SOMEONE LIKE YOU. The debut set spawned five hit singles -- "Push," "3 am," "Real World," "Long Day" and "Back 2 Good" and snagged an RIAA Diamond Award certification for U.S. sales exceeding more than 12 million to date. Thomas also raised the band's profile by co-writing and singing on Santana's Grammy Award-winning 1999 smash "Smooth." Matchbox Twenty maintained the momentum with MAD SEASON in 2000 and "MORE THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE in 2002, both of which went multi-platinum and continued to spit out hits such as "Bent," "Unwell," "If You're Gone," "Bright Lights" and "Disease."

But after three albums of hard work and equally hard touring, Matchbox Twenty was ready for a break. Thomas released a pair of Top 5 solo albums which contained several #1 singles, Doucette worked with his band The Break and Repair Method and wrote film music, while Cook led the New Left. The hiatus not only renewed Matchbox Twenty as a band but also seasoned the individual members even further as they came back together for 2007's EXILE ON MAINSTREAM, a greatest hits collection that sported six inspired new tracks which were co-written by the band for the first time ever and included their biggest selling single to date “How Far We’ve Come”. 

In addition to more than 30 million records sold worldwide, Matchbox Twenty has also earned countless accolades, including five Grammy nominations, four American Music Award nods, the 2004 People’s Choice Award for “Favorite Musical Group, and they were named “Best New Band” in the 1997 Rolling Stone Readers Poll.

After EXILE ON MAINSTREAM's Top 5 success, Matchbox Twenty continued the collaborative process as it headed towards NORTH. The romantic "Overjoyed," according to both Thomas and Doucette, was "the first time we felt like we had something special”. Kyle Cook took lead vocals on the incredible ballad "The Way," which he and Doucette penned together. "She's So Mean," meanwhile, represents a "storytelling exercise" during which Thomas, Doucette and Cook sat around a microphone free styling lyrics that they eventually sculpted into the cautionary tale about a hard-to-handle woman who Doucette promises bears no similarity to anyone in the group members' real lives. Listening deeper to NORTH reveals even more different nuances, approaches and feels because of the group-writing dynamic.
 
"Matchbox Twenty is pretty all-encompassing," Doucette says. "Once it gets rolling, we just devote all our time and energy to that. I can speak for everybody on this; it's the thing we hold the most dear because it's the thing we built the longest, so we want to give it its due. We don't make records that often anymore, so when we do we want to devote our time and energy to not only doing it; but also bringing that music to the fans."
