Matt Nathanson – Suspended
When you lead me
and fit around my tongue
it’s so easy to forget that I’m lost.
Spent all of my life waiting for answers
to lift me, to numb me, to define it all.
Sunshine, I’m beginning to like this
‘cause all I want to be is the minute that you hold me in
when you pretend that I’m all that you waited for
and time slips to nothing and I’m better than I’ve ever been.
I’m suspended
with your breathing, just filling up my lungs
I can almost believe that I’m almost enough.
Spent all of my life emptied of anthems,
bracing for something that never did come.
Sunshine, I’m beginning to like this
and sunshine, I’m beginning to like it
‘cause all I want to be is the minute that you hold me in
when you pretend that I’m all that you waited for
time slips to nothing and I’m better than I’ve ever been.
I’m suspended
It’s not enough to stay surrounded
It’s not enough to stay awake, torn, braced, cornered
and not feel alive.
Sunshine, I’m beginning to like it
and sunshine, I’m beginning to like this
‘cause all I want to be is the minute that you hold me in
when you pretend, when we pretend, I’m all that you’ve waited for
time slips to nothing and I’m better than I’ve ever been
I am suspended
I am suspended
On your lips, on your lips, on your lips, suspended.
