Matthew Good - On Nights Like Tonight Lyrics
On nights like tonight, when no one's around
I put on the record, the record I found
When I was a kid and the world was a town
And Heartbreaker weren't nothing painful
Like Sister Theresa, canonized, faceless
The press release leaves the plagiarist nameless
And all is forgiven
On nights like tonight, when no one's around
I sit in the dark on my hands on the ground
And I smile like the devil smiles, unseen but proud
Truth be told I don't know
Who's at the helm
And I'll make my way to you
And I'll make my way to you
If I'm not on time
Remember that I tried
Carry me Mother Mary I'm faithless
Like needles in haystacks that we just replace
It's all the same monster that nobody faces
Where all is forgiven
On nights like tonight, when no one's around
I turn off the lights and I float off the ground
And I smile like I used to when you were around
But truth be told I don't know
Who's at the helm
Just sit tight
I'll make my way to you
I'll find a way to get to you
I don't know who's at the helm
Just sit tight
And I'll find a way to get to you

The song's about finding forgiveness for something.. maybe societal ills. He's asking Mother Mary for forgiveness.
Just excellent
@teahouse100 you're right, religion is a very human thing. almost every early society tried to explain the world and their place in it through religion. I wouldn't go so far as to call it beautiful though. actually I don't know why you're talking about religion anyway.
Religion isn't bull - its inextricably human, and can be extremely beautiful. This song, reminds me of humanness; our trials, qualms, uncertainties, and ultimately our perseverance.
@okdontnoewattoput I wouldn't blame Canada for Justin Bieber. Little faggidy kids exist in all countries. Blame the US music industry for hand picking the shittiest international acts to throw money at. S'the reason most famous international Canadian bands are embarrassing.
matt good = jesus even tho religion is bullshit you get my point
good quality
Matthew Good has a gift for speaking from the heart.
this is now my favorite song in the world.
@nickismilk Agreed haha Long Live Matthew Good
@nickismilk True, but you guys did birth Avril Lavigne.. they can't ALL be winners.
i don't know if i necessarily hear that much avalanche in this song but i can kind of see where you are coming from. avalanche is probs my second favorite matthew good song. so amazing.
man.. i love matthew good.
when you play acoustic, maybe it sounds the same, this isnt avalanche, it is classic matt good
totally I'm the only one who hear it or totally it sounds like Avalanche?
One foot in front of the other...am I the only one who hears that in it?
When I hear this I keep waiting for Avalanche to kick in, with the awesome affects and the guitar. I'm not sure if I like it or dislike it. Well, it's a sweet song, but not up the Avalanche standards.
This would make an excellent single...
