Livin' Thing - Matthew Sweet

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave

It’s like magic

Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin'

It’s magic

And you, and your sweet desire

You took me higher and higher

It’s a livin' thing

It’s a terrible thing to lose

It’s a given thing

What a terrible thing to lose

Making believe this is what you conceived

From your worst day

Moving in line then you look back in time

To your first day

And you, and your sweet desire

You took me higher and higher

It’s a livin' thing

It’s a terrible thing to lose

It’s a given thing

What a terrible thing to lose

Takin' a dive 'cos you can’t halt the slide

Floating downstream

So let her go Don’t start spoiling the show

It’s a bad dream

And you, and your sweet desire

You took me higher and higher

It’s a livin' thing

It’s a terrible thing to lose

It’s a given thing

What a terrible thing to lose
