Dave Matthews quotes about
Sometimes it's nice to be able to reflect on the music itself and then write lyrics that I feel anyone can relate to. It's not my dreaming tree that is dead. The feeling of a loss of hope is universal. There are moments that we've all felt a little bit of it, so I don't think it is something that is too hard to identify with.
If you live life, then you become what are.
Is this not enough? This blessed sip of life Is it not enough? Staring down at the ground Then complain and pray for more from above Greedy little pig
She feels like kicking out all the windows And setting fire to this life She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright But all the colors mix together - to grey
And when you wake, you will fly away, holding tight to the legs of all your angels. Goodbye, my love, into your blue, blue eyes.
Look, here are we on this starry night staring into space, and I must say I feel as small as dust lying down here.
I don't understand at best, I cannot speak for all the rest. But you may find a lifetime's passed you by. Every dog has its day, every day has its way Of being forgotten.
Leave the big door open, everyone'll come around...
I feel that I have worked my whole life to get to the point where I should have a good understanding of women.
I am who I am who I am who am I Requesting some enlightenment Could I have been anyone other than me?
People are not very pro-active in general, I think, because we are too busy rushing blindly towards our own goals.
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles I'm coming slow but speeding
Just knowing that the world is round Here I'm dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down? Is this real or am I dreaming?
The brightest star on a cloudless night Some kind of miracle, almost empty sky... Just as the bite of the blade wakes the absent mind There's time to dream and there's time to open your eyes
