Matt wrote this song.

lyrics

I wish the man on the moon had words for me
like my best friend who left so, so suddenly.
But as I stare, I'm beginning not to care about the fact that you are gone.
and I don't miss you the same way that I once did.
I fell asleep, and all my friends were there to greet me.
Your face your eyes, they said the words my mouth could never form.
I read your poetry until I found myself asleep again.
it's killing me, the thoughts of what I should've done
it's killing me, the things I should've said
it's killing me, that you said everything would be all right
its killing me, that you could lie to me the way you did
its killing me, you took off your own way
its killing me, that I cant find a way to deal with this
I wish the man on the moon had words for me
like my best friend who left so, so suddenly
but if I sleep now his words might pass me by
so I will wait
come meet my my eyes so I believe you
come stay with me so I know
that the memories we made in a drunken stupor
won't be forgot when we're not close.
Don't you forget those stupid late night voice mails
I won't forget your voice in my passenger seat
don't you forget those bike rides belting lyrics
I wont forget how you influenced me
you made me sing.
You made me sing.
You made me sing.
