lyrics

the stars won't shine on me tonight
the moon it just won't help me to see
i'm parked up here at the top of a hill
i got no place else to be
down below is the train, hear her sad refrain
as she sings across the land
"i don't know who i am"

somewhere down there is a little red house
it silently is buried in snow
and there's a man who is walking there now
down a street i used to know
and up here's just the trees in the winter white breeze
the train is just a lady in blue
oh, i don't know what do

i used to know just who i was
back when i loved you
on second thought, well, maybe not
but i never needed to

'cause i've lived my life 'round who i'm not
that used to work just fine for me
i'm not my mother, i'm not my father
at least, i try not to be
then one day i woke up, found that wasn't enough
who i'm not, that ain't worth a damn
'cause i don't know who i am

i used to know just who i was
back when i loved you
on second thought, well, maybe not
but i never, i never needed to

'cause everywhere i used to go
all i saw was open doors
and every time i turned around
there would be one more
yes, but now it seems that they're all closing
and every night i hear one more slam
'cause i don't know who i am
no, i don't know who i am

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.
