Straight Away Lyrics

Cover art for Straight Away lyrics by Mat Kearney

This one is tough but I think it's quite clear. I think it's about a girl Mat was with and they never fully let everything out. He's obviously in love with this girl and he wants to communiticate these feelings to her and wants her to feel the same but something is holding her back, like something that happened in the past. He let this girl get away, "If I was wrong would you show me/Where ALL that I LOST can be found." and he wants to find his way back to her heart. I honestly believe this is the same girl that reappears in Runaway Car, On & On, Here We Go, and possibly Never Be Ready, if it's actually about a girl. All these songs have extremely similar themes and go pretty well together. It's clear that Mat has gotten his heart broken MANY times... by the same girl.
