about

Another song from our "old" era as a touring 5 piece act, it is also the closest thing we have to a love song in this era of our career. Written by a much younger me, who was preparing to once again pursue a girl who was showing clear signs of not being ready for a serious relationship, which was the only kind I really wanted.

lyrics

Oh my friend, my dear friend what should I do
It seems I've fallen over such depths for you
You’ve awakened an ache in my chest that won’t go
Every time I cut it from me the feeling only grows

Now my dear I never set out to fall in Love
Every time I gave it thought I was never enough
And it seems for the first time I cannot run away
It seems pain might be the only way
But at your door I know not what to say

Now I’ve sang a few songs and I've drove a few miles
Going somewhere for something to do that for awhile
My friend I was living from season to season,
And then in my moving I needed no reason
Now you might turn your head and think me a fool
And call me unrealistic and darling it's true
Cuz I’ve become def and blind to this fear
But that aint a bad thing my dear
No that sure ain't a bad thing my dear

And with a heavy heart there are good things to bring
I'll keep this tune in my mouth even if I can't sing
If you’re already walking mind if I come along
If I can’t I'll just keep wandering on

No I won't be doomed to just sit and wonder why
And I'll be damned if this bird gets no chance to try
To fly from this cliff of uncertain goodbyes
It will not be in vein if it dies it’s the reason for staying alive

And with all that I am I will try to make sure this isn’t a last goodbye
