Matt Costa is probably one of the most brilliant songwriters I've ever heard. But seriously, don't take my word for it, just listen:



If you took to me we could steal away
Count the stars on the milky way
If you took to me I’d roll out the sails
Both get in, catch the wind

If you took to me
I won’t be the ghost that I’ve always been
If you took to me
If I ramble, well, you’d always have my hand

If you took to me
I’d be a lead better
The two of us would get lonely never
If you took to me I’d send letters three
Morning, noon and when we go to sleep

So if you took to me
You won’t, won’t freeze to death out there
And if you took to me
I’d be breathless ‘cause I gave all my air

If you took to me
Through this blizzard we’d make kings
If you took to me
No avalanche around could root this mountain down
If you took to, if you took to me

If you took to me in this sinking skiff
We’d scatter the ashes of our emptiness
If you took to me
I’d fill every line on every page and in right next to mine

If you took to me
I won’t be the ghost that I’ve always been
If I ramble, I’d always have your hand

If you took to me
Through this blizzard we’d make kings
If you took to me
Ain’t no avalanche around could root this mountain down
If you took to, if you took to me



Float down stream, rivers of dreams
Float down stream, catch your wings
Heaven's high, so you fly
Catch your dreams in the sky

But the glaciers have frozen your feet
I can't wait for eternity
And so you watched me wash away
But maybe we'll catch up someday
Maybe well catch up someday

Sun sinks out of view
Stars they shine changing hue

But bright lights have blinded your sights
They cant adjust when day turns to night
And so you watched me wash away
But maybe well catch up someday

The castles we built were so tall
They only left us further to fall
And still I see them far away
But maybe we'll come back someday
Maybe we'll come back someday

Float down stream, rivers of dreams
Float down stream, catch your wings

The castles we built were so tall
They only left us further to fall
And still I see them far away
Maybe well come back someday

The castles we built were so tall
They only left us further to fall
And still I see them far away
As I watch them wash away
Wash away...
Wash away...
Wash away...
Wash away...

Oh, and his music videos are awesome too.

I've heard the story, I'm sure he held you down
Forced you to do things while I'm not around
But you lied, yeah you lied
But I've got cigarette eyes

Feel uneasy, I think of you less
My mind is so restless and I'm feeling depressed
Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy
You lie, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes

Out in the country I'm sure no one could tell
You held a victim under your spell
So go hide, well go hide
But I've got cigarette eyes

I feel uneasy, I think of you less
My mind is so restless and I'm feeling obsessed
Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy
You lied, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes

So you've got yourself a bright young girl
One who lies with you in bed
When she tells you that she likes the weather
Don't believe a word that she says no more

Out in the country I'm sure no one could tell
You held a victim under your spell
So go hide, well go hide
But I've got cigarette eyes

I feel uneasy, I think of you less
My mind is so restless and I'm feeling depressed
Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy
You lied, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes
