lyrics

the first raindrop hits the window
there’s a low and thrumming ache
all the lights are flashing yellow
and it’s more than i can take
there’s laughter in the street
from up here it all sounds canned
too tired to fall asleep
feeling older than i am

the world is bathed in midnight blue
i’m still alive, and somewhere so are you
i’m talking to myself, i got nothing to say
been that way for years, what’s another day
another drink or two of midnight blue

just around the other corner
there’s the dive i used to haunt
haven’t been there in forever
hope they’re keeping my seat warm
oh, i’ve hardly left this house
yeah, i’ve hardly left my head
i bet they’re mopping the floors right now
and tomorrow they’ll trash the place again

the world is bathed in midnight blue
i’m still alive, and somewhere so are you
i’m talking to myself, i got nothing to say
been that way for years, what’s another day
another drink or two of midnight blue

the season changes and i’m mostly just the same
oh, i swear he had your eyes
i’m still losing at the same old games
still laying down the same old lies
after all this time

the world is bathed in midnight blue
i’m still alive, and somewhere so are you
i’m talking to myself, i got nothing to say
been that way for years, what’s another day
another drink or two of midnight blue

about

Matthew Connor Boston, Massachusetts

Matthew Connor is a crooner for the 21st century, writing heart-wrenching songs that combine the windswept ideals of classic American balladry with stark depictions of modern-day alienation. The Boston-based Connor has a haunting voice that conjures ghosts of past heartbreaks, and he pairs it with spectral guitars that recall country tearjerkers and alt-pop brooding.
