Little Victories

This time, I'll be sailing
No more bailing boats for me
I'll be out there on the sea
Just my confidence and me

And I'll be awful sometimes
Weakened to my knees
But I'll learn to get by
On little victories

This time, I'll have no fear
I'll be standing strong and tall
Turn my back towards them all

And I'll be awful sometimes
Weakened to my knees
I'll learn to get by
And I'll learn to get by
On the little victories
And if the world decides to catch up with me
It's a little victory.

~Matt Nathanson, Little Victories

Car Crash

I'm wide awake and so alive, ringing like a bell
Tell me this is paradise, and not someplace I fell
Cause I keep on falling

I wanna feel the car crash
I wanna feel the capsize
I wanna feel the bomb drop, the earth stop, til I'm satisfied
I wanna feel the car crash cause I'm dyin' on the inside
I wanna let go and know that I'll be alright, alright

Just push me til I have to fly
I've shed my skin, my scars
Take me deep out past the lights
Where nothing dims these stars

I wanna feel the car crash
I wanna feel the capsize
I wanna feel the bomb drop, the earth stop til I'm satisfied
I wanna feel the car crash cause I'm dyin' on the inside
I wanna let go and know that I'll be alright, alright

~Matt Nathanson, Car Crash

All We Are

And in the end the words won't matter
'Cause in the end nothing stays the same
And in the end dreams just scatter and fall like rain

'Cause all we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful, something real

~Matt Nathanson, All We Are
