matchbox twenty - if you're gone

It was only a matter of time till another MB20 would show up on the blog again. I work in a 24/7 call center, which is obviously a shift jobs. A thing which I like because there are always people willing to take on my morning shifts and leave me their afternoon ones, which is vital for a late sleeper like me :). However, my favourite shifts, of which I unfortunately don't get enough, are night shifts. I love the peace and quiet of it. No one around the building (well, except the door guards and the firemen, but they are on ground floor, I'm on the fourth). I stay awake till 4-4:30 am if I am given the chance anyway, so there's no big deal in prolonging that till 7 am. Usually no one's calling in, so I am left to fill my time.

Am on nightshift right now. I brought a stash of cd's with me to which I haven't listened in a while. It was like meeting up with dear old friends. I know them by heart, they have memories and feelings connected to them, I know I like them every time I rediscover them... and they always stir that something in me that made me like them in the first place. I absolutely love Matchbox Twenty. Everything they've ever done. I got their three albums in Barcelona a couple of years ago. Oh, the thrill of the chase, the joy of the discovery, the relief of the prey, the extasy of fitting them into my rather tight budget... :)

This one is off their second hit album, Mad Season. This is a live acoustic version.

I think Ive already lost you
I think youre already gone
I think Im finally scared now
You think Im weak - but I think youre wrong
I think youre already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
But now Im relaxed - I cant be sure

I think youre so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think Im just scared - I think too much
I know this is wrong its a problem Im dealing

If youre gone - maybe its time to go home
Theres an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If youre gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz theres a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I bet youre hard to get over
I bet the room just wont shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need - more than you mind

I think youre so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think Im just scared - that I know too much
I cant relate and thats a problem Im feeling

If youre gone - maybe its time to go home
Theres an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If youre gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz theres a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I think youre so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think Im just scared - do I talk too much
I know this is wrong its a problem Im dealing

If youre gone - maybe its time to go home
Theres an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If youre gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz theres a little bit of something me
In everything in you
