Dave Matthews Band - Crash Lyrics
So Much To Say
I say my hell is the closet I'm stuck inside
can't see the light
and my heaven is a nice house in the sky
I got central heating and I'm alright
yeah yeah yeah can't see the light
keep it locked up inside don't talk about it
t-t-talk about the weather
yeah yeah yeah
open up my head and let me out little baby
'Cos here we have been standing for a long long time
can't see the light
treading trodden trails for a long long time, time, time, time, time, time, time
I find sometimes it's easy to be myself
sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else
I see you young and soft oh little baby
little feet, little feet, little hands little baby
one year of crying and the words creep up inside
creep into your mind yeah
so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
'Cos here we have been standing for a long long time
can't see the light
treading trodden trails for a long long time...........
I find sometimes it's easy to be myself
sometimes I find it's better to be somebody else
so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say ohh
so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
little baby ahh
so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
little feet little hands little baby
so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
open up my head and let me out little baby

Two Step
Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions
You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking
Say love, you drive me to distraction
Oh hey my love do you believe that we might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this
Our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me down
Oh well, celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
These things we cannot change
Hey, my love, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and you quench my mind
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but
Sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
The things we cannot
Celebrate, you and me, climbing two by two, to be sure
These days continue, things we cannot change
Oh, my love I came to you
With best intentions
You laid down and gave to me
Just what I'm seeking
Celebrate we will
Because life is short
But sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change
Things we cannot change

Crash Into Me
You've got your ball, you got your chain
Tied to me tight, tie me up again
Who's got their claws in you, my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock, and sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost, for you
Oh, when you come
Crash into me
And I come into you
And I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream
Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare boned and crazy for you
Oh, when you come
Crash into me
Yeah, baby, when I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream
If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
To forgive me for my haste
When I'm holding you so, girl
Close to me
And you come
Crash into me, baby
And I come into you
Oh, hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show your world to me
A boy's dream
In a boy's dream
Oh, I watch you there
Through the window
And I stare at you
Wear nothing but you
Wear it so well
Tied up and twisted
The way I like to be
For you, for me, come crash
Into me
Baby, come crash into me, yeah
Crash into me
Crash into me
Crash into me
Oh, you know
I'm the king of the castle
You're my dirty rascal
Crash into me
Please crash into me, baby
We both know
See the wave, come crash into me
See the wave coming, crash into me
Crash into me
Oh, hey
No, no, no, no, no, no, hey, yeah
No, no, no, no, no, no, hey, hey, yeah, yeah

Too Much
Straight in, suck up and go,
Cool it swallow, swallow
Breathe deep, take it all it comes cheap
Push it through the doors
Because in between the lines
I'm gonna pack more lines
So I can get in
Ooh traffic jam got more cars
Than a beach got sand
Suck it up, suck it up, suck it up,
Fill it up until no more
I'm no crazy creep, I've got it coming
To me because I'm not satisfied
The hunger keeps on growing
I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much
I've got to get it somewhere
I mean, you never know, maybe
You're dreaming
Who do you think you're watching
Who do you think you need
Play for me, play more,
Ten times in the same day
I need more, I'm going
Over my borders
I'm going to take more, more
From you, letter by letter
I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much
I told, god, I'm coming
To your country
I'm going to eat up your cities,
Your homes, you know
I've got a stomach full it's not
A chip on my shoulder
I've got this growl in my tummy
And I'm gonna stop it today
I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too much
Suck it up...

Come and see
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles
I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish a dance and while I'm in the front
The playing time is won
But the difficulty's coming here
I will go in this way
And find my own way out
I won't tell you so me
But it's coming to much more me
Come down all the ghosts come back
Reeling in you now
Oh, What if they came down crushing
In a way I used to play for
All of the loneliness that nobody
Notice now
I'm begging slow I'm coming here
Only waiting I wanted to stay
I wanted to play
I wanted to love you
I'm only this far
And only tomorrow leads the way
I'm coming waltzing back and moving into your head
Please, I wouldn't pass this by
Oh I wouldn't take any more than
What sort of man goes by
I will bring water
Why wont you ever be glad
It melts into wonder
I came in praying for you
Why wont you run
In the rain and play
Let the tears splash all over you

Say Goodbye
So here we are tonight
You and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
What's on my mind
You've got me wild
Turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
Up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
Just for an evening
When we make
Our passion pictures
You and me twist up
Secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being friends, yay, yay, yay
Oh, go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
To the best
Of all we can offer, just a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for you
Girl, just tonight
Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends
Oh go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers, oh, please
Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
Tonight let's be lovers, oh, yes
Tonight let's be lovers
And hear me call
Oh, soft spoken, whispering love
A thing or two I have to say here
Oh, tonight let's go all the way then
Oh, love, I'll see you
Just for an evening
Oh, let's strip down, trip out at this
One evening's love starts with a kiss
And away here
And tomorrow back to being friends, yeah
But now lovers, love, yeah
Just for tonight, one night, love you
Tomorrow say goodbye
Tomorrow say goodbye
Tomorrow say goodbye

Drive In Drive Out
I hear more than I like to...
so I boil my head in a sense of humor...
I laugh at what I cannot change...
I throw it all on the pyre again...go then and do this
I'd do it for you...
when all that I want is so badly to be...
by myself again...
it's going to drive me right out of my brain
Drive in drive out I'm leaving
Drive in drive out
I'll come back again
Drive in drive out I'm leaving
Drive in drive out
I don't care if we all turn to waste...
so when I beg...you avoid me...because I smell of dirt... hungry,
hungry boy...you won't leave me all alone...the boy won't go
Sooner or later we're done
Sooner or later I'm gone
because, because
Sooner or later we're gone
Sooner away
Ooh, my head is pounding now...god has all but left me behind...
not a sense of worry...I'm going to drive in and drive out again
Drive in drive out I'm leaving
Drive in drive out I'll come
Drive in drive out I'm leaving
Drive in drive out
I'm over this arrangement...
around here...emptiness
sounded so good...I want to
drive you right into my world
Drive in drive out I'm leaving
Drive in drive out I'll come
Drive in drive out I'm leaving
Drive in drive out

Let You Down
I let you down
Let me pick you up
I let you down
Let me climb up you to the top
So I can see the view from up there
Tangled in your hair
I let you down
I have no lid upon my head
But if I did
You could look inside and see
What's on my mind
You could look inside and see
What's on my mind
I let you down, oh, forgive me
You give me love
Let me walk with you
Maybe I could say
Maybe talk with you, open up
And let me through
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
I have no lid upon my head
But if I did
You could look inside and see
What's on my mind
You could look inside and see
What's on my mind
I let you down
How could I be such a fool like me
I let you down
Tail between my legs
I'm a puppy for your love
I'm a puppy for your love
I have no lid upon my head
But if I did
You could look inside and see
What's on my mind,
Oh it's you
I let you down
I'm a puppy for your love
I'm a puppy for your love
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
I let you down

Lie In Our Graves
When I step into the light,
My arms are open wide.
When I step into the light,
My eyes searching wildly.
Would you not like to be...
Sitting on top of the world with
Your legs hanging free?
Would you not like to be... ok, ok, ok?
When I'm walking by the water
Splish splash me and you takin' a bath
When I'm walking by the water
Come up through my toes
To my ankles,
To my head,
To my soul.
And I'm blown away...
I'm blown away...
I'm blown away.
When I'm walking by the water
Splish splash me and you takin a bath
When I'm walking by the water
Come up through my toes
To my ankles,
To my head,
To my soul.
And I'm blown away...
I'm blown away...
I'm blown away.
I can't believe that we would
Lie in our graves
Wondering if we had
Spent our living days well
I can't believe that we would
Lie in our graves
Dreaming of things that we
Might have been.
I could have been someone
I can't believe that we would
Lie in our graves
Wondering if we had
Spent our living days well
I can't believe that we would
Lie in our graves
Dreaming of things that we
Might have been.
Would you like not to be...
Would you like not to be... (repeat as necessary)
Okay, okay, okay?
'Til we dance away.

Cry Freedom
How can I turn away
Brother/Sister go dancing
Through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days
Cry freedom cry
From a crowd 10,000 wide
Hope laid upon hope
That this crowd will not subside
Let this flag burn to dust
And a new a fair design be raised
While we wait head in hands
Hands in prayer
And fall into a dreamless sleep again
And we wave our hands
Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us
All slip away
There was a window and by it stood
A mirror in which
He could see himself
He thought of something
Something he had never had but hoped would come along
Cry freedom, cry
From deep inside
Where we are all confined
While we wave hands in fire
Wave our hands
Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us,
Slip away
In this room stood a little child
And in this room this little child
She would remain
Until someone might decide
To dance this little child
Across this hall
Into a cold, dark, space
Where she might never trace her way across this crooked mile
Across this crooked page
Cry freedom, cry
From deep inside where
We are all confined
Till we wave our hands
How can I turn away
Brother/Sister go dancing
Through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days
Hands and feet are all alike
But gold between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
But fear between divide us
Hands and feet are all alike
Hear what I say
Hear what I say
Oh, so be it
How can I turn away
Brother/Sister go dancing
Through my head
Human as to human
The future is no place
To place your better days

Tripping Billies
we were above
you standing underneath us
we were not yet lovers
dragons were smoked
bumblebees were stinging us
I was soon to be crazy
eat, drink and be merry
for tomorrow we die
'cause we're tripping Billies
we're wearing nothing
nothing but out shadows
shadows falling down on the beach sand
remembering once,
out on the beaches we wore
pineapple grass bracelets
so why would you care
to get out of this place
you and me and all our friends
such a happy human race
'cause we're tripping Billies
we are all sitting
legs crossed round a fire
my yellow flame she dances
tequila drinking oh our
minds will wonder
to wondrous places
so why would you care
to get out of this place
you and me and all our friends
such a happy human race
eat, drink and be merry
for tomorrow we die

Proudest Monkey
Swing in this tree
Oh I am bounce around so well
Branch to branch,
limb to limb you see
All in a day's dream
I'm stuck
Like the other monkeys here
I am a humble monkey
Sitting up in here again
But then came the day
I climbed out of these safe limbs
Ventured away
Walking tall, head high up and singing
I went to the city
Car horns, corners and the gritty
Now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do
Then comes the day
Staring at myself I turn to question me
I wonder do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well
Oh things were quiet then
In a way they were the better days
But now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do
