    mediaconverter.org to rip this video to a mp3
    it started out like everything else, I guess
    you are what you are until suddenly you're like all the rest
    I looked out over the bay at the water and the lights
    I noticed we had gone to great lengths but not to great heights
    the bus ride to meet you here took me half my life
    and although the days were clear we drove that night
    I sat next to a woman who moved to the memory of effigy
    and I tried to sing along but she couldn't hear me
    we are dancing invisible
    there are small things the day brings
    like cut strings that we never pull
    and after tonight when these things fade from sight
    I might get you through
    maybe you know me now but it's strange somehow
    if I'm lost too
    maybe you know me now but it's strange somehow
    if I'm lost too
    lights split the window and the wind blew me away
    and the sun scraped the distance like an acceptable mistake
    I stared at the road signs and the possibilities they'd take me
    away from you
    its funny but in this place its the only thing that you can hear
    those far distant echoes that blow through only to disappear
    when the rain drops and the bus stops and the coast is clear
    and I feel you're near
    I will break it again
    I will break it again
    I will break it again
    we are dancing invisible
    there are small things the day brings
    like cut strings that we never pull
    and after tonight when these things fade from sight
    I might get you through
    maybe you know me now but it's strange somehow
    if I'm lost too
    maybe you know me now but it's strange somehow
    if I'm lost
    it all ends up like everything else, I guess
    you are what you are
    you do what you do
    and you get what you get
    somewhere short of regret
    I looked out over the bay at the water and the lights
    and I noticed we had gone to great lengths but not to great heights
    and only the crier cries at the break of dawn
    I stood boxing my shadow thinking how to get along
    so to yourself or another man to who you belong
    when there's nothing left to fight is it easier to be right
    when you know you're wrong
    you are dancing invisible
    there are small things the day brings
    like cut strings that we never pull
    and after tonight when these things fade from sight
    I might get you through
    maybe you know me now but it's strange somehow
    if I'm lost too
    maybe you know me now but it's strange somehow
    if I'm lost too

    Remember downloading this on Napster in 2002 or something. When B-Sides were tough to find and you would find these hidden gems on the internetand your mind was blown.

    I love this song to pieces. I was driving to Elora the other day, and had this song on repeat on my iPod. Matthew's lyrics are fantastic. All the time.

      My friend fell off the Elora gorge lol he survived, but prob 5 years before you wrote this comment. Random to see Elora mentioned, but given your listening to Matt good, likely the same Elora

    for many years I went to every concert I could ... whether ballet dancing or making love his music fits. Sadly my final concert was in Ottawa before the pandemic... I have since relocated... unless Matthew travels across the pond to play in Portugal.. I will put you guys and gals up in beautiful Nazare

    This is one of my faves One of the best part of a lyric he wrote The song is Everything is Automatic so few words to explain reincarnation.at least thats what i thought the songis partly about ! One day when you decompose, you wake up and those birds are singing ! I always thought and hope it works like that lol.
