about

This was the very first song I've ever written, wrote it way back in junior high about a girl I had a huge crush on. For those of you wondering, we never really got together, but the song gave me some musical successes over the years. It's a song that holds a special place for me because it was the defining point between learning the guitar and playing other peoples' songs, and then being able to write my own songs using a guitar. It hold's a lot of memories for me.

lyrics

The first time I laid eyes on you,
Just didn't know what to do,
But from then I knew,
This feeling must be true,

But I loved you more than I knew,
But if I had,

One shot to make this work,
Baby I would give everything you're worth,
Just to be,
The man who sits down next to you,

Baby I love you
Whoa and I do

You took my breath away
I was so nervous I started to sway
And normally I'm not really that shy
But girl you made my mouth run dry

But I loved you more than I knew,
But if I had,

One shot to make this work,
Baby I would give everything you're worth,
Just to be,
The man who sits down next to you,

And baby you know there ain't nothing on this earth,
That means to me just what you're worth,
You know I don't lie I only tell the truth,

(One shot to make this work,
Baby I would give everything you're worth,
Just to be,
The man who sits down next to you, )

It Hurts - EP
by Bad Bad Hats

Such a great energetic EP that's so fun to listen to. It really makes me feel good and makes me feel warm and fuzzy and happy. "Secrets Are No Fun" gets stuck in my head a lot. A really great record. Matthew Nicholson

...On The Heart
by Wildlife

Dangerous Times was the soundtrack of my summer after graduating highschool. I don't always find an album can take you to a different place, but this definitely transports me. Plus they're Canadian :D Matthew Nicholson
