Stunner

8/10/2020

 
Matthew Darius Campbell · Stunner

Hey stunner will you stun me again?
Are you a runner? Please don’t say goodnight
Your body is shaped by the moonlight
Stunner at midnight

Under covers of your sisters bed
Sorry if you haven’t told her yet
Our last goodbye happened twice
Skinny dip in ocean of ice 

Hey stunner will you stun me again?
Could be a runner Please don’t leave tonight
Your body is shaped by the moonlight
Stunner at midnight

Tap your fingers
Think I know what's next
Hand on my bare chest
Love the way you stay reckless

Hey stunner will you stun me again?
You’re not running Think you’ll stay til the end
Your body is warm up against mine
Stunner at midnight

Oh I look at you seriously
Maybe we’ll kiss when we stop laughing
You put your hand over your eyes to try and hide
Yet i see beauty deep within and outside

Hey stunner please just stun me again?
Oh just stun me through my veins with the love you send
Your body is shaped by the moonlight
Stunner at midnight
Stunner at midnight

Faceless Dancer

8/10/2020

 
Matthew Darius Campbell · Faceless Dancer

Honest answer would you say I’ve given up
From stage fright a songless artist I feel off alone tonight

She wrote the words to our songs
Now i’m just making things up
Cos I just wanna shout to distract you
Don’t doubt it’ll turn you around

Faceless dancer on the moon
Finds his waltz from the monsoon
I’ll keep those lines I hope that's fine
Faceless tattoo on your arm
Says something about the war
And the way you move I’ll get one too

He held it all up right
He made the beat and rhythm so tight       
Cos I just wanna shout to distract you
Don’t doubt it’ll turn you around
   
Faceless dancer on the moon
Facelift life into this tune
If it’s good on film it’ll pay the bills
Beautiful girl you get it all
Doubtful voice about to stall
I need a pep talk I need a pet dog

I know you feel free when the stage is yours
So don’t just sing oh just sing when the showers on
‘less you're warming up re mi fa sol la
Oh yeah you look good when you shake your hips
But stop keeping deep thoughts on your tongue behind your lips
What is unsaid - you might regret - and better yet - you’ll find you’ll get - forgiveness

Cos I just wanna shout to attract you
Don’t doubt it’ll turn you on
Cos I just wanna shout to distract you
Don’t doubt it’ll turn you around
Cos I just wanna shout to distract you
Don’t doubt it’ll turn you around

Hands and Feet

8/10/2020

 
Matthew Darius Campbell · Hands and Feet

Midwest home 
Field and pond grew us
I would push you
You would shove me
Carved our way
In the hawthorn tree out back
We would hide there
Collect our treasure

Scared to death
Crossed 66 alone
When we made it
Our world exploded
Growing up
Side by side
Like my hands and feet are
You and me were

The thing I won’t lose
Is my memory of you

Nancy Young
In the tunnel of love
We both kissed her
But mine was better
Morning smokes
Too young and broke
No one could see us
Except mom and Jesus

The thing I won’t do
Is forget about you

Brother I had you brother you had me too
Brother I lost you brother I want you back
Brother I had you brother you had me too
Brother I need you brother I want you back

Those last years
The things I feared came true
Yet I’m still your best man
And you’re still my best friend

Look

8/10/2020

 
Matthew Darius Campbell · Look

Look me up darling
When you get home
If you get home
Call me up lover
When you find time
If you find time

It’s crazy now you’re gone
It’s crazy that you’re gone
It’s amazing I can breathe
It’s amazing I can speak


Look me up honey
When you feel fine
If you feel fine
Call me up girl
You know where I am
You know where I’ll be

It’s crazy now you’re gone
It’s crazy that you’re gone
It’s amazing I can breathe
It’s amazing I can speak


I feel alright when I hear your name
Shouldn’t I feel some kind of insane
Shouldn’t I feel like I’ve been replaced
Got a new heart but i still got this face
And i'm feeling fine
You know this face so you know that I’m doing great
And you know this face so you know that I’m feeling great

Look me up lover
You found your time
And I found mine​

May Storm

8/10/2020

 
Matthew Darius Campbell · May Storm

I heard you were a freight train and afraid of love
Now I heard that you are a biplane eager to learn

What is not love can’t be confused
What is not love can’t help you


I’ve seen good times for six years of my life

What is not love can’t be confused
What is not love can’t help you


I loved you entirely but three winters ago
January brought snow you brought news just as cold
And I held the rain fell warm
This May brought storms you broke down doors
And I’m a fool for telling you what to do
Oughta let you choose
And you’re fair in height and you shine like gold
But next time won’t you let him know

I heard from God you found your way of life

What is not love can’t be confused
What is not love can’t help you

Highways

7/17/2020

 
Matthew Darius Campbell · Highways

It’s the final way I’ll go
White rose and holy joes
Can’t forget it’s lullaby
Can’t have it without U and I

White lines road signs highways lead me home
Inside my mind I forget about the long run
I take my time moving in slow motion
I’ll be there soon

Driving on the back of my hand
These roads are veins to where I began
You say a tiny cul-de-sac shouldn’t keep me going back but some things in life are evergreen
And nothing falls as hard if keep the better parts and the things we call family

Headlights road signs highways lead me home
Inside my mind I forget about the long run
I take my time moving in slow motion
I’ll be there soon

And I know that this home
Can turn me back to you
If I can’t see and I’m lost it’ll
Turn me back to you 
Back to you Back To you 
This home will turn me Back to you

White lines road signs highways lead me home

Higher

7/17/2020

 
Matthew Darius Campbell · Higher

I want to fall apart in the back of a motel
I’ll call you the one while I’m faithfully myself cheating
​I want the eyes on me to lust with desire
I’m gonna give you a smoke when you ask for a lighter

All, all of my life - I want it higher
All, all of my life - I want more


I want to break everything in this goddamn town
I’ll never leave but I’ll blame it for all of my problems
I want to follow the trends and convince you I set them
I’m gonna be an asshole to all of my close friends

All, all of my life - I want it higher
All, all of my life - I want more


Born then baptized to franchise - I never found the light
Razed by your kind in this state of mind - I’ll never make wrong, right?

Wildfire

7/17/2020

 
Matthew Darius Campbell · Wildfire

Hello someone up above 
I’ll call you God if you want
I’ve never done it quite like this
Well I’ve only just

Closed my eyes and said
What I thought they’d like
Now I’d like instead
To write my own life

Hello friend of my family
Sorry I am whispering
But they are waiting at the door
And they won’t allow what I ask for
    
I know I know that I shouldn’t be mad at you
But you are blocking out the truth
What I want I want is you to give em all a clue
All of the proof

In my constant daydream
I’m fighting fires with my wings
And I can breathe a breath so deep
The earth’s pain can live in me

Give me give me evergreen
And a kinder guarantee
And I know I know they don’t believe me when I say
I still trust you

So I close my eyes and speak
Does it help if I
Fold my hands and scream
Will you hear if I
Change my life and give up
Everything to you
And sit back and watch
Like they all do

I wanna em to know that I will be there when it falls I wanna em to know that
I wanna see them grow and let em come along I wanna do that
I want them to know that I will be here after all I want em to know that
Cos’ even though it all might change it’s still my home I wanna know that

When We Were Young

7/17/2020

 
Matthew Darius Campbell · When We Were Young

Monday morning hallway locker just before the bell
I’m walking to you thinking feet don’t fail me now 
I practised every word but now they won’t come out - to ask you out

I call it luck you call it charm - make me blush
Lunch table conversation - always talk too much
Another night I’m wishing it was time for waking up - I’ve dreamt enough

When we were young
Tried and true
When we were young
That’s all we knew
When we were young

Friday night on the stands only watching you
I lent you $2.5 for for a mountain dew
Green eyeing the boys as they chase you on - I play along

Audible under bleachers nervously alone
Touchdown hail mary to the endzone
Another night I’m wishing it was time for waking up - I’ve dreamt enough

When we were young
Tried and true
When we were young
That's all we knew
When we were young

When we were young
Just pink and blue
When we were young
Cos’ you told us to
When we were young

Sunlight I got it got it got it now
