Title: After The Fact

Additional Challenge: CAR/MALL/PARTY

Lyrics:

Its a tough day for the home team
moving furniture is easy, its the personal stuff that worries me
cause cleaning out your parents house is not how I imagined
while it looks like packing boxes up and sweepin out the cabinets
its another introduction to who you thought you knew
a one-way heart to heart that's hard enough to make it through

without the pictures up in frames on the walls of your office
a collection hand-selected to be handsome and flawless
I never saw the box of polaroids you'd forgotten
packed away inside a cabinet in the back of your garage

there's your first car with the hood popped
here's you at a party with my uncle in a headlock
some candids of you camping, this one had to be from prom
its strange to see your arm around someone who isn't mom
I never knew that you knew Marty since you were in second grade
In my head you met at work but now I don't know where that came from
A bunch of big assumptions never challenged while I could
A side I never saw because I thought I understood

None of it was fiction but I learned after the fact
I'm mad you never told me but I'm madder I didn't ask

and all the pictures up in frames on the walls of your office
a collection hand-selected to be handsome and flawless
I never saw the box of polaroids you'd forgotten
packed away inside a cabinet in the back of your garage

And Now I know you better than I ever have
And it's nice to meet you after the fact

And Now I know you better than I ever have
And it's nice to meet you after the fact

 

---- Matt's Song -----

Title: Pull You Below

Additional Challenge: PRANK!

Lyrics:

You turned all the clocks back by 15 minutes a day
Til I felt like I was drowning just by being awake
You switched out all the lightbulbs
