Original song written and performed by Matt Hicks 2022

I Don’t Want To Be Anything Other Than Yours

You’re the only god damn thing that’s right in this place
This bar room full of scare crows feels so far from home.
A star will never feel it’s own warmth and grace
Your day feels long when you shine alone.

But I don’t want to be anything other than yours
It’s the only thing I know now how to be
And if on any given day you’ve lost the cause
Let belief in you grow from belief in me.

We can lay our feet on pavements like ghosts in New York
Wander through the hours till the foxes find their beds
Stay here for eternity and only ever talk
Stealing air from demons that linger in your head.


I don’t want to be anything other than yours
It’s the only thing I know now how to be
And if on any given day you’ve lost the cause
Let belief in you grow from belief in me.

Let me take it to the fight when you’re all spent
Where angels fail to hold you I won’t falter
Allow me to love you when heaven fails to send
A miracle to keep you ‘bove the water.

I don’t want to be anything other than yours
It’s the only thing I know now how to be
And if on any given day you’ve lost the cause
Let belief in you grow from belief in me.

You’re the only god damn thing that’s right in this place.
In this bar room full of mermaids and a sea of old stale beer
But I can only feel your warmth and grace
We talk about leaving
With my face in your palms
And a smile that’s healing
Because home is you my dear.
