Matt Berninger - "Hey Matt" lyrics

[Verse 1: Walter Martin] Hey Matt, hey Matt Here's the thing You know I love writing songs but I can't sing Need a little advice or something Just a couple of pointers so I gave Matt a ring I don't want to waste your time I'm sure your on the road, driving all night But Matt I could use some advice Cause I've been off key, all my life It's time I learned to sing, that's why I'm giving you a ring [Verse 2: Matt Berninger} Hey Walt, hey Walt Here's the deal If you sing too high it's got no appeal If you sing too low it don't sound real So close your eyes, Walt, and sing what you feel [Verse 3: Walter Martin & Matt Berninger] You know Walt, I've got a little exercise we could try, repeat after me Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Okay that's pretty good let's try ah Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah [Verse 4: Walter Martin & Matt Berninger] And Walt don't waste your time, singing about love and lonely nights Cause no one's gonna pay a dime to stand line to hear you whine You gotta sing something new Just try to keep it in tune Lord knows that's all I do [Verse 5: Walter Martin] Hey Matt, I guess that's all You know I really appreciate you taking my call For helping me out with my singing and all You know Matt, you've got a very special voice I admit, for this song, you weren't my first choice You see Matt I tried to get Randy Newman Randy Newman never actually responded Thanks for stepping in Matt, it really means a lot [Verse 6: Walter Martin & *Matt Berninger*] Thanks Matt *No problem, Walt, you really ask Randy Newman to sing in the song?* Yeah I did actually *That would have been awesome* Yeah I know *Why didn't he do it?* I don't really know, I'm thinking maybe he thought my organ playing was too flashy or something I don't know, or maybe he's not into hand-claps, you know *Yeah, alright let's keep practicing* [Verse 7: Walter Martin & Matt Berninger] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, *My fault, Walt, went too high, down* Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
