Kody
(R. Thomas)
Matchbox 20 - Yourself or Someone Like You, 1996

Kody sat down on the avenue
and tapped his feet
to the humming of the highway
he watched the lights shine down on the broken glass
and thought
'well I don't got no reasons...
yet.' 

And there it is, and there it was
now it was clear to all of us
we kept this hat of broken dreams
and we pulled them out
when we needed them around

So please hand me the bottle
I think I'm lonely now
and please give me direction
I think the hurt set in

But I don't feel nothing
yet.

There's a squeak hinge down on the back gate
it lets us know if he comes around
but I don't sleep that good anyway
and if you've never heard that silence,
it's a God-awful sound.

So please hand me the bottle
I think I'm lonely now
and please give me direction
I think I've just caved in

I don't feel nothing
I don't feel nothing
there's nothing to feel good about here

I don't much get down onto the avenue
I could drive, but it takes so much to get there
I don't get off on all the broken glass; the cadillac scene
I've seen a lot of good things die and I'm
in an over-emotional way

So please hand me the bottle
I think I'm lonely now
and please give me direction
I think the hurt set in

Please hand me the bottle
I think I'm lonely now

I'm lonely now
hold me now

And please give me direction
I think I just caved in

But it ain't nothing.
