Treat You Better

Treat You Better (feat. Tiberio Gracco)

Treat You Better -Shawn Mendes

Comets, they come and go
Comets, they come and go
Comets, they come and go
Comets, they go...

Tiny little star ship slipping through the sky,
Turn your burning flashlight out, just print it to my eye
Tungsten barely cuts it, the stardust man is out,
He burnt into your green screen babe, 
You can run but you cannot shout 

Living a lea gun, 
I see a sea gull,
I see a sea gull, 
You'll never get it back, never get back, it’s under the sea 

(Chorus)

I never believed you 
When you said
We'd be flying though space,
Up here in anti gravity 
with your beautiful face.
It started with a Big Bang,   
But how the world has changed,
So all these asteroids,
they make me feel so safe..

Living a lea gun, 
I see a sea gull,
I see a sea gull, 
You'll never get it back, never get back, it’s under the sea 

(Chorus)

P.E.S.F

Comets

Back In Time is about the feeling when you meet someone special, and wonder how life would've panned out if you'd met earlier.

Lyrics:
I might be slightly obsessed
i still show no signs of slowing down
If I'd met you a few years ago
I wonder how life would've been before

I might be slightly obsessed
i still won't let these words come out
If I'd met you a few years ago
I wonder how life would've been before

But I can go
back to the places when we were four
But I can go 
back to the places when we didn't know
that time didn't stay still and the earth wasn't round
And I can't go back in time.

You go to the hills for a month or two
but pack me in your plans like I would too
I've played it cool and it might be too soon
I wonder how life will be with you, fool. 

But I can go 
back to the places when we didn't know
that time didn't stay still and the earth wasn't round

But I can go
Back to the places when we are alone
We climb those trees
but my words are on the ground
And I can't go back in time.

Back in Time (Acoustic)

‘Better Than It All’ is about coming to terms with realities of being an artist in a big city.

_________________________________________

Ripped apart, my beating heart
But like a miracle, it doesn't stop
You slither like the serpent that you are
Leaving my soul to wither away
You breathe for compassion, I'm breathing for life
I'm breathing for closure

My story will never be told
You'll feel it but you'll never know
You breathe for compassion, I'm breathing for life
I'm breathing for life

Ripped apart, my beating heart

Ripped apart, a beating heart
An endless wound and a broken cause
Every momentary fight will turn to dust
So what's the point, oh
You breathe for compassion, I'm breathing for life
I'm breathing for closure

My story will never be told
You'll feel it but you'll never know
You breathe for compassion, I'm breathing for life
I'm breathing for life

Ripped apart but it doesn't stop

lyrics
Far back, the voices fade out, the choices made dawn upon us soon, 
Sat back, the silence sets in, as miles and semblance leave us gone	

As far as I can see, the time it screams at me 
you travel much too far 
too far for you to be alive 

I heard you screaming No! What are you afraid of. 
Show all the skin that you are made of, 
But you feel so old. 

So many thoughts, so many moves, to say, to make, to feel, to hear, to see, 
I hope I haven’t left behind the chance today 

As far as I can see, the time it screams at me 
you travel much too far 
too far for you to be alive 

Rocks Remember. 

Far back, the voices fade out, the choices made dawn upon us soon, 
Sat back, the silence sets in, as miles and semblance leave us gone	

Can’t ever let my time, 
Decide just how long I have got. 

(But) You feel so old, don’t you now?

Rocks Remember

A track that was never meant to be, a "mistake". It's a mistake to want something that someone else has, be careful what you wish for....

Mistake

Raised the bar too high
(And now it's out of sight)
Raised the bar too high
(I just let it slide)
Raised the bar too high
(Now it's out of sight)
Raised the bar too, far too high

My will is shaken
I'm waking up to paranoia 
It's broken me too
Failure, again
I raised the bar too high
My arms are shaking
I'm waking up to paranoia 
It's broken me too
Failure, again
I raised the bar too high
And now I'm scared

Yeah mind over matter, but mine leads to misery
Fake strings can never feel honest on this symphony
I failed the brave
Fake strings can never feel honest on this symphony

My arms are shaking
I'm waking up to paranoia 
It's broken me too
Failure, again
I raised the bar too high
(Far too high)
My arms are shaking
I'm waking up to paranoia 
It's broken me too
Failure, again
I raised the bar too high
And now I'm scared

Lyrics:
So much has been spoken about 
this world and all of its flaws
so much has been spoken about
so little has been done

This world of ours 
of diamond rings and fancy cars
on marble tops of hotel bars
we talk about war

This world of ours
dreams of big but empty paths
of missing lives and broken hearts
what are we here for?

Stop it please,
something light,
let's talk about sweet things
and who I took home last night

So much has been spoken about 
this love and all of its flaws
so much has been spoken about
so little can be done

This love of ours 
always ends before it starts
doesn't want to show its cards
we just want more

This love of ours
too afraid of newer scars
runs away when things get hard
let's build a wall

Stop it please,
no time to fight,
let's talk about the future and
how things between us aren't right

Lyrics:
Try as hard but you won't change my mind, for some time
I can wait in line I hope you won’t mind
I can see those eyes staring at mine, for some time
You can come to mine and have some wine

For some time but
you can bring me 
Down and guilty

Let me be with my two left feet 
and I will follow you to the beat
sway with me with my two left feet 
what happens next stays with you and me
But it might just be a dream

I can see those arms reaching for mine, for some time
I can hold you tight I hope you won't mind
I can buy the wine if you will be mine, for tonight
You've been here a while
undress to show me what you hide

For tonight but
you can bring me
down and dirty

Let me be with my two left feet
and I will follow you to the beat
sway with me with my two left feet
what happens next stays with you and me

Let me be with my two left feet
and I will dance with you to the beat
sway with me with my two left feet
what happens next stays with you and me
but it might just be a dream.

Lyrics:
All I’ve done is chase things in the dark
for things that didn’t mean much
right from the start

what felt good, wasn’t always right
who cares now I’m just about to find

I’m not waiting for some phone call
I’m not staring at the wall
I’m not hoping for some miracle
I’m better than it all

The future has never looked so bright
opinions on the left and my right
waking up a tad bit late
but I’m not living a lie
I’m not living a lie

I used to walk crawl or run 
It all felt the same
for things that didn’t mean much
I could always take the blame

what felt good, wasn’t always right
who cares now I’m just about to find

I’m not waiting for some phone call
I’m not staring at the wall
I’m not hoping for some miracle
I’m better than it all

The future has never looked so bright
opinions on the left and my right
waking up a tad bit late
but I’m not living a lie
I’m not living a lie

I’m not waiting for some phone call
I’m not staring at the wall
I’m not hoping for some miracle
I’m better than it all

Lyrics:
I don't like her
she won't like me
but we've got a date

I don't like her
she won't like me
I bet she will be late

I still run run run and leave work early
so I can buy her flowers
don't be late is what I said but she didn't show up for hours
but I'll wait for sometime till I'm stood up and fried
bored out of my mind but I'll wait

I don't like her 
she won't like me 
but we've got a date

I don't like her
she won't like me
I bet she will get laid

Run run run you go far away
but I will hunt you down
don't be late is what I said but you didn't show up for hours
but I'll wait for sometime till i'm stood up and fried
bored out of my mind but I'll wait

I can show you the way
you can bring me to life again
I can show you the way but you can
run run run you go far away
but I will hunt you down
don't be late is what I said but you didn't show up for hours
but ill wait for sometime till i'm stood up and fried
bored out of my mind but ill wait.

Lyrics:
She can choose to change my whole world
I know I won't complain
She can offer me solace
I know I'll do the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime.

She can put a smile across my face
and just take it away
She can roam around the moon and back
I know she'll stay the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime

There's a song in my heart,
let me play it through
this is how I feel, I know it's possibly true
the sun may go down but I will send the moon back up
and stars will wait for her to shine
cause she can roam around the moon and back
I know she'll stay the same

She can choose to change my whole world
I know I won't complain
She can offer me solace
I know I'll do the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime.

She can put a smile across my face
and just take it away
She can roam around the moon and back
I know she'll stay the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime

Stepping out, I look around
hoping that she's safe and sound
the sun may go down but I will send the moon back up 
to keep her by the glow of his light
cause she can roam around the moon and back
and I know she'll stay the same.

Lyrics:
I want you to know what's good and I'm always right
I want you to know what's bad so you can tow the line
You're a boy and I'm your father, I know what is right

I want you to clean your room and get to bed in time
I want you to stay away from women until the time is right
You're a boy and I'm your mother,  I’m always right

You nod your head and say yes,
You’ve made it to the rat race
You’ve lost face, your life is shit
You call yourself the best

You nod your head and say yes
You’ve made it to the rat race
You shake your head, your life is shit
You try and be the best

But I won’t hold you back today
I won’t hold you back

I want you to learn these chords and play them every night
I want you to sing these songs and copy every line
You're a noob and I'm the teacher, I’m always right

I want you to vote for me and all my sons in good time
I want you to pay your dues, what's yours will now be mine
I'm your god and I have the power, I will make things right

You nod your head and say yes
You’ve made it to the rat race
You’ve lost face, your life is shit
You call yourself the best

You nod your head and say yes
You’ve made it to the rat race
You shake your head, your life is shit
You try and be the best

But I won’t hold you back today
I won’t hold you back

I'm Always Right - Raghav Meattle

I'm Always Right | Songs From A Matchbox

Autumn

This is the story of the drunk loser who traumatized everyone who ever cared for him. He's a selfish fiend who burnt every bridge . This song is the collective voice of everyone he alienated and hurt - his ex-wife, his family, his friends, even his children. They have all moved on, they had to. He's stuck in circles, forever chasing a high...

Lyrics
She took the kids and half your money, found out about the whores i see . 
Grab a drink or maybe twenty, to convince yourself that you’re right. 
Smash a glass, beat up a lady, need to feel like a man i see 
Another drink now you’re an absent daddy, who thinks he's right all the time. 

You’ve been playing the fool for so long, you’re time is running out/ 

You’re out of cash and you got no honey, to bail you out of another scene 
You’re a drunk loser who won’t stop trying to convince himself that he’s right. 
You’re out of cash so you to try to hustle , some kids who are to young to see 
You’re a fraud ,a cheat ,a neutered bunny. 

You’ve been playing the fool for so long, your time is running out. 
And when they do grow up, they are going to hate you, 
You might as well kill yourself right now.
