Matt Costa - Desire's Only Fling Lyrics






You can count your friends for a little while
And you can make them seem like they're all worthwhile

Looking at the children and all of them worth
Making my decisions based on last minute calls I plea

But the devil wouldn't like it if you stabbed him in the back
Dancing with desire's only fling
Making my decision, I headed for the seams
Exiting only to find my dreams
Were real

Down on a south is where you can find him
Counting the days left to fulfill his omens

Turning at the ends of the unfinished corners
Opening of dreams left of untidy fallacy

But the devil wouldn't like it if you stabbed him in the back
Dancing with desire's only fling
Making my decision, I headed for the seams
Exiting only to find my dreams
Were real

Ticking away soon you will find that
Under the sand lies all of your ends mend

But if you come across the one who defies him
Be careful not to fall in the eyes of temptation

Cause the devil wouldn't like it if you stabbed him in the back
Dancing with desire's only fling
Making my decision, I headed for the seams
Exiting only to find my dreams
Were real

    This song has great lyrics. Wish he did more stuff like this.

    Luckily I have the original pressing of Songs We Sing that has this song. Don’t know why the hell they would remove it as it’s his best song.

  2. M.... ....

    WE LOVE THIS SONG, good energy by Matt Costa, thanks for that !!

    Saw matt in philly a few weeks ago and he Snuck to the front of the tla to talk to my 14 yr old daughter who adores him. Heck of a guy talked to us for about 20 minutes.

    Great stuff.  Had the pleasure to sit next to Matt on a flight to SFO about 2 years ago when he was going to see his wife graduate.  I asked if he was the main event, and he just laughed, as said he was just going as a husband.  Like most everything I've heard from Matt.  A real unrecognized gem.

    D.... M....

    Matt, I sincerely love this song, and genuinely wish I could figure out how to buy it from you. But I can't. So I guess I'm going to have to figure something else out for now.

    it was originally released in the pre brushfire records version of the album "songs we sing"

    before that it was released in a music compilation before matt was signed to a major label. the song was dropped from the tracklisting to songs we sing when he joined brushfire because it didnt fit the rest of the album. i think the japanese or brazilian itunes version of songs we sing included "desires only fling". i cant remember which.

    f.... r....

    Dumb move. This is the best song from that album. The original track listing flows better.

    f.... r....

    Just bought the cd with the song, from a Japanese shop, online of course. Should be here by the end of the week, only 13 yrs or so late picking it up

  10. L.... C....

  11. E.... R....

    It reminds me of the animated movie Anastasia, the ballroom memory scene.

  12. b.... ....

    nah, its nowhere near there the way he sings the song, ive heard that melody in another song but i dont know if its beatle or some other band

  13. S.... ....

    i think its the animals - house of the rising sun

  14. b.... ....

    where is this melody from...? beatles???

  15. t.... ....

    it'll be a sad day when theres nothing else out there for u to find. keep looking you'll keep finding good stuff.

  16. R.... C....

    Amazing! I can't believe there was an artist this good out there that I didn't know about.

    R.... C....

    Ryan Coleman that’s usually how it works lol

  17. N.... L....
