Song lyrics
She got out of town
On a railway, New York bound 
Took all except my name 
Another alien on Broadway 

There’s some things in this world you just can't change 
Some things you can't see until it gets too late 

Baby, baby, baby 
When all your love is gone, 
Who will save me 
From all I'm up against out in this world? 
Maybe, maybe, maybe 
You'll find something that's enough to keep you, 
But if the bright lights don't receive you, 
You should turn yourself around and come on home 

I got a hole in me now 
Ya, I got a scar I can talk about 
She keeps a picture of me 
In her apartment in the city 

Some things in this world, man, they don't make sense 
Some things you don't need until they leave you... 
They're the things that you miss 

Baby, baby, baby 
When all your love is gone, 
Who will save me 
From all I'm up against out in this world? 
Maybe, maybe, maybe 
You'll find something that's enough to keep you, 
But if the bright lights don't receive you, 
You should turn yourself around and come on home 

Let that city take you in (come on home) 
Let that city spit you out (come on home) 
Let that city take you down... 
For God's sake, turn around 

Baby, baby, baby 
When all your love is gone, 
Who will save me 
From all I'm up against out in this world? 
Maybe, maybe, maybe 
You'll find something that's enough to keep you, 
But if the bright lights don't receive you... 
Turn yourself around and come on home 
Yeah, come on home 
Baby, baby, baby, baby 
Come on home 
Yeah, come on home 
Come on home, 
Come on home

yeah I think matchbox twenty are awesome.

The only problem is their songs get overplayed on the radio stations where i live which ruins them a little after a while.

bright lights is definitely another example of their greatness, lol.

This song is great. I actually did a project on it in 7th grade because I thought it was the best thing ever.
I will love MB20 forever!
