Hang

Esta balada es la pista final del exitoso primer álbum de la banda de rock alternativo Matchbox Twenty que lleva por nombre "Yourself or Someone Like You" (Tu mismo o alguien como tú). Disco que trata temas relacionados con la soledad, el abuso psicológico, la humillación y la ira pero con un sonido melodioso y profundas e impactantes vocales y que cierra con broche de oro en esta canción donde una guitarra acústica se una la voz de Rob Thomas para interpretar la última pieza: Hang.

She grabs her magazines
she packs her things and she goes
she leaves the pictures hanging on the wall
she burns all her notes and she knows
she's been here too few years
to feel this old.

He smokes his cigarette
he stays outside 'til it's gone
if anybody ever had a heart,
he wouldn't be alone, he knows
she's been here too few years to be gone.

And we always say
it would be good to go away, someday
but if there's nothing there to make things change
if it's the same for you I'll just hang.

The trouble understand
is she got reasons he don't
funny how he couldn't see at all
'til she grabbed up her coat, and she goes
she's been here too few years
to take it all in stride
But still it's much too long
to let her go (you let her go)

And we always say
it would be good to go away, someday
but if there's nothing there to make things change
if it's the same for you I'll just hang
the same for you I'll always hang
well I always say
it would be good to go away
but if things don't work out like we think
and there's nothing there to ease this ache
but if there's nothing there to make things change
if it's the same for you I'll just hang.
