Man You Used To Know - Matthew And The Atlas

Made your way before them

You were open to that voice

Whispering those words back again

In a valley of thoughts

That were dying by your side

Why couldn’t you just confide

Cradling your silence

In the words you cannot say

Justify it for another day

Now the dust has settled

In the empire of your soul

What is it you need to make it whole?

You went to California

Put your body on the road

I should have tried to warn you

Sometime this world is hard to hold

In between the concrete lane

Your mind begins to change

Whispering those words back again

And as the night becomes you

And the codeine hits the pain

What is it you need to start again?

And as the fever rages

In the vanguard of your mind

Looking for that thing you cannot find

Cause you’re walking in the shadow

Of a man you used to know

While you’re leaving your footprints in the snow

You went to California

Put your body on the road

I should have tried to warn you

Sometime this world is hard to hold

Made your way before them

You were open to that voice

Whispering those words back again

In a valley of thoughts

That were dying by your side

Why couldn’t you just confide

You went to California

Put your body on the road

I should have tried to warn you

Sometime this world is hard to hold

Sometime this world is hard to hold

Sometime this world is hard to hold

Sometime this world is hard to hold
