English Town Lyrics by Matchbox Twenty

The Matchbox Twenty Collection

2012

[Verse 1]
Come inside, the air I breathe
While the band still plays
It's the end of the coldest week
Come down into the sea
'Cause everybody wants to get away sometimes
And everybody needs mistakes
[Chorus]
When the sun breaks over the edge of an English town
It pulls me away from a bad dream
I don't know why, but I know I'm not ever going back
[Verse 2]
In the dark, we can lose our sleep
We can both be kind
'Cause I don't need the pulling apart of sheets
Just to know who you are
But everybody wants to get away from something
Everybody lose their way
[Chorus]
When the sun breaks over the edge of an English town
It pulls me away from a bad dream
I don't know why, but I know I'm not ever going back
[Bridge]
It's a non-stop voice
That can lead you on
But cannot change it
[Outro]
When the sun breaks
Over the edge of an English town
When the sun breaks
Over the edge of an English town
When the sun breaks
Over the edge of an English town
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
