lyrics

DEFINITIVE
(© 2001 LDBeghtol/Nice Boys Music/ASCAP)

You never wanted much
Just poetry and a place by the sea
You never wanted much
Just Morrissey, tea & sympathy
But you never wanted life superlative
You never wanted much, that’s true

Oh, Matthew—where will you go when it’s over?
Matthew—what will you do?

You never asked for much
Just books and a fire and a tire swing
You never asked for much
Just a ball of string and a promise ring
But you never wanted it definitive
You never wanted endless skies of blue

Oh, Matthew—where will you go when it’s over?
Matthew, what will you do
When it’s through?

But you never wanted what I had to give
And you never knew I wanted you

Oh, Matthew—where will you go when it’s over?
Matthew, what will you do when it’s through?
Matthew, where will you go when it’s over?
Matthew, what will you do
When she leaves you?
