Matt Maeson - Cringe Lyrics






Lover come over, look what I've done
I've been alone so long, I feel like I'm on the run
Lover come over, kick up the dust
I've got a secret starting to rust

She said, I'm looking like a bad man, smooth criminal
She said, my spirit doesn't move like it did before
She said, that I don't look like me no more, no more
I said, I'm just tired, she said, you're just high
And I said, I saw you in the water
And I said, I saw you in the water

Lover come hold me, heads on the fritz
Gaudy intoxicated feelings comfortably mixed
Lover come hold me, could you forget
I've got a secret, digging a ditch

She said, I'm looking like a bad man, smooth criminal
She said, my spirit doesn't move like it did before
She said, that I don't look like me no more, no more
I said, I'm just tired, she said, you're just high
And I said, I saw you in the water
And I said, I saw you in the water

Sweating all your sins out
Putting all your thoughts back together
Oh, we just don't blend now
All of my attempts seem to weather
Oh, I make you cringe now
Don't I make you cringe
Oh, I make you cringe now
Don't I make you cringe

She said, I'm looking like a bad man, smooth criminal
She said, my spirit doesn't move like it did before
She said, that I don't look like me no more, no more
I said, I'm just tired..

She said, I'm looking like a bad man, smooth criminal
She said, my spirit doesn't move like it did before
She said, that I don't look like me no more, no more
I said, I'm just tired, she said, you're just high
And I said, I saw you in the water
And I said, I saw you in the water (do I make you cringe)
And I said, I saw you in the water
And I said, I saw you in the water (do I make you cringe)
And I said, I saw you in the water

  1. N.... ....

    God damn. Very rarely are there perfect songs but this stripped song is that. The sense of yearning is amped in this version.

  2. m.... ....

    i literally just typed in 'cringe' and got this. i feel blessed.

  3. H.... A....

    damn... I just discovered something

  4. M.... E....

    I play this song every time suicide creeps in.

  5. N.... T....

    2020 😢😢😢

  6. M.... N....

    What does “I saw you in the water” mean?

  7. D.... O....

    2020 anyone?

  8. L.... A....

    Honestly both this song and hallucinogenics have helped me through so many rough times. He’s truthfully so so talented and unknown but he has the making to be somebody massive. I’m really hoping I get to go to see him in April

  9. B.... W....

    This makes me think of my oldest brother I love him to death and forgive him for everything he’s done to me in the past but if he ever hears this song I pray to god so so hard that he just stops the drugs for good he has a baby girl and he has a family and he has a little sister that would love him to come back like the old him

  10. a.... r....

    2020. Anyone?

  11. J.... P....

    This song is really deep. Also, this song is cringe and I'm saying it in the best way possible

  12. u.... d....

    love this version. Anyone know the chords?

  13. E.... M....

    I don’t know if they JUST started playing this but they’ve been playing this on the Peak in Vancouver. Thank goodness for public radio or I never would have found this.

  14. 1.... s....

    I was scrolling and when i saw this i got goosebumps. I don’t know what’s that mean. I just click too fast and wow. Like that’s my destiny.

  15. S.... ....

    I can’t get this out of my head

  16. L.... G....

    I love this stripped version but the original has so much power and emotion

  17. N.... ....

    that's not what i expected for searching "cringe"

  18. A.... Z....

    Thanks! Matt!

  19. H.... Z....

    2019?🕵🏿‍♂️

  20. R.... M....

    I finally found this omg 😳

  21. S.... R....

    Thanks to Matt his songs are Deep man.

  22. D.... S....

    So where did you go @MattMaeson?

  23. J.... G....

    The other seems more upbeat and the like and this one sounds like he's confessing a murder and his crimes holy cow

  24. I.... K....

    No matter how many times I listen to this I swear all I can hear is "she said your just fine" lol

    I.... K....

    Funny that's what I heard in the beginning, but i slowly started hearing high.

  25. E.... T....

    I was trapped by the honesty and simplicity of the song. There's a soul counting a story. Not trying to sell nothing... just letting off steam

  26. H.... ....

    Play it at 0.75 speed

  27. T.... K....

    2:15 I was thinking this part was cringy for a sec then I got it and died laughing 😂 I’m sooo dum

  28. C.... V....

    This just sounds like a song I'd hear walking downtown nashville in some dive bar coming out the door and it's amazing

  29. T.... L....

    I got confused by the title so I clicked. Beautiful song & voice, so glad I clicked this one. This is just amazing.

  30. y.... �....

    His voice is heavenly beautiful

  31. Y.... Y....

    I love your music. Helps me cope

  32. A.... ....

    Still here... still the same feelings

  33. T.... A....

    OH MY GOD MATT, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

  34. R.... B....

    I saw you in the water" drowning time to let you breath again

  35. R.... B....

    Song hit me deep sitting in my car

  36. A.... L....

    Saw this legend at the Florida Man concert recently, he's just as good live as he is in studio

  37. B.... Y....

    This song is so cringy....



    jk jk i really love this song!

  38. J.... S....

    This song is 10000x better acoustic

  39. j.... m....

    the word cringe makes me cringe

  40. L.... L....

    dude i tell everyone at my school that he is my favorite artist and they don’t know who he is..... how?

  41. c.... I....

    Man! Finally, after 3 years this song is finally playing on my country´s radio station! AHHHH so happy

  42. R.... ....

    Hi. I'm about to have a full-on breakdown listening to this. I can feel it. As an addict with depression, as someone who has loved an addict, this hurts and yet is so f'ing beautiful. It just hits hard. Hits home.

    I'm just tired.

  43. R.... ....

    Wowww.... my spotify just played this instead of what I was trying to play, and I've never been more grateful. Damn, that voice had me hooked from the first note, then the lyrics... my 🖤.

  44. K.... F....

    Please collab with Tyler Joseph!
    I think you'd be great together!!

  45. K.... C....

    You're voice is absolutely stunning.. Its a yes from me- Simon Cowell...*smacks the gold buzzer*

  46. C.... E....

    YouTube had the audacity to interrupt this song with an add and I’m fuming.

  47. F.... A....

    "Cringe"

    Lover come over, look what I've done
    I've been alone so long, I feel like I'm on the run
    Lover come over, kick up the dust
    I've got a secret starting to rust

    She said, I'm looking like a bad man, smooth criminal
    She said, my spirit doesn't move like it did before
    She said, that I don't look like me no more, no more
    I said, I'm just tired, she said, you're just high
    And I said, I saw you in the water
    And I said, I saw you in the water

    Lover come hold me, heads on the fritz
    Gaudy intoxicated feelings comfortably mixed
    Lover come hold me, could you forget
    I've got a secret, digging a ditch

    She said, I'm looking like a bad man, smooth criminal
    She said, my spirit doesn't move like it did before
    She said, that I don't look like me no more, no more
    I said, I'm just tired, she said, you're just high
    And I said, I saw you in the water
    And I said, I saw you in the water

    Sweating all your sins out
    Putting all your thoughts back together
    Oh, we just don't blend now
    All of my attempts seem to weather
    Oh, I make you cringe now
    Don't I make you cringe
    Oh, I make you cringe now
    Don't I make you cringe

    She said, I'm looking like a bad man, smooth criminal
    She said, my spirit doesn't move like it did before
    She said, that I don't look like me no more, no more
    I said, I'm just tired..

    She said, I'm looking like a bad man, smooth criminal
    She said, my spirit doesn't move like it did before
    She said, that I don't look like me no more, no more
    I said, I'm just tired, she said, you're just high
    And I said, I saw you in the water
    And I said, I saw you in the water (do I make you cringe)
    And I said, I saw you in the water
    And I said, I saw you in the water (do I make you cringe)
    And I said, I saw you in the water

  48. p.... k....

    yall really fighting bout whether its "your just tired" or "your just high" nd your really ignoring the possibility of "your just lyin'"

  49. F.... J....

    Why is the reverb in just the right ear?!

  50. J.... B....

    "I said Im just tired, she said your just high."






    I'm only high on something I thought I had. I'll be better when it wears off, mom. I'm sorry.

  51. T.... A....

    *I got a secret starting to rust*

  52. s.... ....

    I love the line “I said I saw her in the water”. I think it means that she’s a hypocrite, or he saw his own characteristics in her.

  53. M.... S....

    seeing you tonight xoxo

  54. P.... F....

    Lol he doesn’t say water, he kinda just says

    “WAAAERRRR”

    P.... F....

    Nah there's definitely a t sound in there

  55. C.... P....

    It's crazy how much percussion can change a song

  56. M.... S....

    I love this song so much 😻

  57. G.... 3....

    It's been nearly a year and this song still always reminds me of someone I love that I left.

  70. L.... ....

    Stripped and not Stripped are for two different energy levels of the same mood.

  71. B.... ....

    #1 on the Alt Rock Chart in Calgary tonight.

  72. T.... a....

    Η φαση ειναι γκριτζι

  73. �.... D....

    I’m not sure how to put it into words but, Thank you for making music. Thank you for sharing your talent and giving us a moment to chill and just
    F E E L. Really I/we appreciate what you do. Keep it up ❤️💯

  74. J.... J....

    IVE BEEN TRYING FOR DAYS TO REMEMBER THIS SONG I HAD THE VAGUE WORDS BUT I COULDN'T GET THE FRIGGIN CHORUS GOD BLESS I FOUND IT

    J.... J....

    I know i heard it on the end and i just searched songs being played on the end and it came up, lucky!

    J.... J....

    I feel this resonate with me on a spiritual level

  75. K.... D....

    I don't visit my past no more

    K.... D....

    It just make me cringe now

  76. E.... C....

    🖤🎶🖤🎶🖤🎶🖤🎶🖤🎶🖤🎶🖤🎶🖤🎶

  77. l.... E....

    Smooth! I can't believe I saw this in the water.

  78. K.... ....

    No sé cómo llegué a tú música y luego a tu canal. Es increíble tu música, sigue así ☺️

  79. M.... P....

    underrated song name lol

  80. A.... B....

    I feel like I make you cringe.

  81. J.... M....

    Best new and relevant voice/artist on the radio in years

  82. E.... ....

    Breathtaking

  83. A.... W....

    This song is beautiful XD and I only heard the normal one...

  84. M.... ....

    By saying "I saw you in the water" in response to her accusing you of being high does not help your case *AT ALL*

  85. E.... ....

    I wish this was the version played on the radio.

  86. h.... n....

    Some songs hit too close to the mark, and I always play it close to the chest, but we had different lives, lived different stories, but how the fuck do you know my pain, how do you have my scares, life's a bitch and so is she...

  87. M.... T....

    The way he says “I got a secre-e-et” is so amazing

  88. V.... B....

    This is one of those songs that sounds better stripped
    !!!!!

  89. J.... L....

    Really good song.

  90. M.... ....

    heard this on the radio :)

  91. O.... M....

    4 of the close people to me did drugs and got high regularly. This song is exactly how everything felt. “You’re just high.” Cringing at their new unfamiliar faces and bodies missing the old them. Beautiful but heartbreaking song. Well done

  92. l.... l....

    I'm very late but nice song

  93. J.... C....

    Makes me miss a girl that i used to know, and still love. A girl as sweet as Southern Peach Lemonade, as thoughtful as an old book, pages yellowed by time. A girl that made me feel like i was at home where ever we were... a Grunge/Crunch relationship

  94. A.... M....

    just another 21 pilots copycat...

  95. c.... ....

    I like the radio version better
