Alright, I know Matt is probably going to kill me for posting this, but I just had to let everyone know about one of the new demos he recorded last night. I think it?s definitely one of his best yet, mainly because it?s about me? That?s right, I?ve got a song about part of my life. Beat that, punk!
Like I said, he?s probably going to kill me for this. I know he thinks it sucks because he was sick last night when he recorded it, but personally I think it sounds just fine. The lyrics are included at the end of this post, but go ahead and download the track and Matt?s websites while you listen to it!
UPDATE: If you don’t know what this song is referring to, you obviously haven’t read my archives. I would suggest taking a look at: Coffee + Love != Win, which is required reading for anyone to maintain a friendship with me.

Lyrics - Take Your Shot
she said hi every mornin when I came through the door poured me a little coffee but I always wanted a little more it took 3 months to get the courage to finally ask her name I wanted to make my move but I played the waiting game [turnaround] one day her smile was brighter than I had ever seen I was all geared up to do it I could taste the victory but as she poured my coffee my heart just hit the floor I saw the glitter of a diamond ring that wasn?t there before [chorus 1] i missed my shot she never knew i carry the weight of all dreams that never will come true i had my chance in every glance now I?m a self inflicted victim of fear and circumstance [break] well a couple of years went by she still said hi every day though I couldn?t help but notice that her smile began to fade away today when she poured my coffee it was more than I could stand at last that shiny diamomnd found it?s way off of her hand [bridge] shoulda and woulda won?t help me find somebody to share the blame mighta coulda?s are all I?m gonna have if I still play the waiting game [chorus] so i took my shot no waitin this time and I?ll take my heart and all those dreams and lay them on the line and take my chance make no mistake we risk and lose so much more on the chances we don?t take [tag chorus] yah i took my shot at something more she smiled real big and said “now boy” what the hell were you waiting for so take that chance make no mistake we risk and lose so much more on the chances we don?t take [tag] we risk and lose so much more on the chances we don?t take
