Lyrics and Sounds

Crash Into Me 
Dave Matthews Band

You've got your ball 
you've got your chain 
Tied to me tight tie me up again 
Who's got their claws 
in you my friend 
Into your heart I'll beat again 

Sweet like candy to my soul 
Sweet you rock 
and sweet you roll 
Lost for you I'm so lost for you 

You come crash into me 
baby 
And I come into you, 
I come into you 
In a boys dream 
In a boys dream 

Touch your lips just so I know 
In your eyes, love, it glows so 
I'm bare-boned and crazy for you 

When you come crash into me, 
baby 
And I come into you 
In a boys dream 
In a boys dream 

If I've gone overboard 
Then I'm begging you 
to forgive me 
In my haste 
When I'm holding you so girl... 
close to me 

Oh and you come crash into me, 
baby 
And I come into you 

Hike up your skirt a little more 
and show the world to me 
Hike up your skirt a little more 
and show your world to me 
In a boys dream... In a boys dream 

Oh I watch you there 
through the window 
And I stare at you 
You wear nothing but you 
wear it so well 
Tied up and twisted, 
the way I'd like to be 
For you, for me, come crash 
into me  Mr. Jones 
Counting Crows 

I was down at the New Amsterdam  
staring at this yellow-haired girl 
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation  
with this black-haired flamenco dancer 
She dances while his father plays guitar 
She's suddenly beautiful 
We all want something beautiful 
I wish I was beautiful 

So come dance this silence down through the morning 
sha la la la la la la 
Cut up, Maria! 
Show me some of them Spanish dances 
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones 
Believe in me 
Help me believe in anything 
I want to be someone who believes 

Mr. Jones and me  
tell each other fairy tales 
We stare at the beautiful women 
"She's looking at you. 
Ah, no, no, she's looking at me." 
Smiling in the bright lights 
Coming through in stereo 
When everybody loves you,  
you can never be lonely 

I will paint my picture 
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray 
All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful 
Well you know gray is my favorite color 
I felt so symbolic yesterday 
If I knew Picasso 
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play 

Mr. Jones and me  
look into the future 
And we stare at the beautiful women 
"She's looking at you. 
Uh, I don't think so. She's looking at me." 
Standing the spotlight 
I bought myself a gray guitar 
When everybody loves me,  
I will never be lonely 

I want to be a lion 
Everybody wants to pass as cats 
We all want to be big, big stars,  
but we got different reasons for that 
Believe in me,  
because I don't believe in anything 
And I want to be someone to believe 
to believe, to believe in 

Mr. Jones and me  
stumbling through the barrio 
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women 
"She's perfect for you. 
Man, there's got to be somebody for me." 
I want to be Bob Dylan 
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone  
just a little more funky 
When everybody loves you, son,  
that's just about as funky as you can be 

Mr. Jones and me  
staring at the video 
When I look at the television, I want to see me  
staring right back at me 
We all want to be big stars,  
but we don't know why  
and we don't know how 
But when everybody loves me,  
I'm going to be just about as happy as can be 
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars...
