G G/F# Em D
I dreamt last night of sirens
C D
By flashlight I had found you
A
You just held my hand
C D
By the bright lights in some ICU
A
Even the planless have a plan
G G/F# Em D
I can’t write love songs when I’m on these things
C D
I’m affable, responsible
A
But hard to be around
C D
It’s correctible and they’re right you know
A
It’s as easy as it sounds
C D A
It’s as easy as it sounds
C D A
It’s all as easy as it sounds

G G/F# Em D
I dreamt last night I saw you
C D A
A single spark explosion negotiating with the dead
C D
By the bright lights in some ICU
A
On my chest you put your head
C
And said there you are
D
There you are
A
There’s my heart

| From reading Matt's blog, there are a couple of possibilities I can think of. Matt had an experience where he overdosed on some medication, leading to a hospital stay of a few days, which influenced many of the songs on the album (not to mention the title). My recollection of this blog post is hazy, but I also remember a story of a dream Matt had, where he dreamt of being very sick and kept in a tower, where he was visited by an angel that comforted him. If anyone has seen this story and wants to add to or correct my recollection, please do. | |

| Well, if I remember correctly, this CD was written during a hospital stay when he OD'd in the shower, like the poster said above, so I'm pretty sure this is probably directly relating to that event. | |

| The ending is what she is saying to him as she has her head on his chest. She's recognizing that he is still alive, thus his beating heart. She can hear it beating inside his chest. | |

| I wonder what the ending means: ? "There you are There's my heart" Maybe it means someone he really loves came to visit him while he was in the hospital and that person is his heart because he loves him/her so much that he decides to live for that person. ? I dunno | |

| At this time Matt had just found out he was bi-polar and was taking medication that wasn't suitable for the disorder. All in all he ended up in the hospital where this album was written, I believe the woman in the song is his mother. I remember reading his blog and he had written about his experience with finding out about his bi-polar disorder/his hospital stay and he mentioned his mother spent a lot of time with him. | |
