Overjoyed by Matchbox Twenty


Album: North
Year: 2012
Genre: Alternative

Mood: Chill, but with conviction

I have yet to hear a song that has the title "Overjoyed" that i do not like.  Jars of Clay and Stevie Wonder recorded songs that bear the title and boy were they damn good songs.  Now Matchbox Twenty produces a song with this title and they do it justice as well.  The rhythm is mellow and the tempo is slow.  Its words are easy to listen to and you wouldn't be able to resist yourself from singing along to it. 

The songs talks about a guy who is in love. He serenades his girl with sweet words and promises, and reassures her that everything is going to be fine.  Boys, be careful before you start dedicating this song to your girl because if you cant live up to the song's lyrics, she's going to hate you and this song!  This is one of those songs that is a treat to listen to when you are all happy and in love and its a pain in the ears when you are angry and heart-broken so use it carefully.



Lyrics:
"Overjoyed"

Feeling my hands start shaking

Hearing your voice I'm overjoyed
I'm sorry but i have no choice
You're only getting better

Maybe you have your reasons

Maybe you're scared you'll be let down
Are you crying when there's no one around
Then maybe

Maybe if you hold me baby

Let me come over
I will tell you secrets nobody knows
I cannot overstate it
I will be overjoyed

The smile on your face like summer

The way that your hand keeps touching mine
Let me be the one that make it right
And maybe

Maybe let me hold you baby

Let me come over
I will tell you secrets nobody knows
I cannot overstate it
I will be overjoyed

And if you want, we'll share this life

Anytime you need a friend I'm gonna be by your side
When nobody understands you
Well, I do

So maybe let me hold you baby

Let me come over
I will tell you secrets God only knows
I cannot overstate it
I will be overjoyed

Baby

Let me come over
I will tell you secrets nobody knows
I cannot overstate it
I will be overjoyed

Well, I will be overjoyed

Well, I will be overjoyed
