Mathis Grey’s style is very unique. His vocals and his guitar playing create a definite coffee house feel allowing the audience to emerge themselves in his music in real time. His music is smooth, yet rugged - heavy , yet weightless….this is Mathis Grey.

Mathis Grey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I know we can work it out
Sometimes I wish I was rollin
Up in all of heavens clouds
Should you hang on to me
(Or let me go)
Should you hang on to me
Someone told me I'd be wealthy
But money just can't change my heart
Baby I wish you would love me
Then we both can have are hearts
Should you hang on to me
(Or let me go)
Should you hang on to me
(Taps) Or let me go
Let me go x4
(Breathe)
You don't have to hide from me
You don't have to run away from everything I say
You don't have to hide from me x2
No, No
No's
