about

One of four great songs from my 2017 album "Hybrid Park"

lyrics

Verse 1:
I really wish that I could do more than
just take a look back into my past
I swear sometimes it feels almost tangible
Don’t you wish that you could do more than
just have a look back into the past?
Like physically reach out and grab him by the hand?

Hook:
‘Cause you’re so alive, right there
But it doesn’t change the fact that
you’re really not, yes, I’m aware Chorus 1:
You lied when you said you’d
never let go
‘Cause once you go you can’t come back
from this you know
I guess that means that your purpose,
it was served in full
Just like I guess that I was meant to
spend the rest of my life alone

Verse 2:
I really wish that I could have helped you
But I didn’t notice what you were going through
I still feel like this is just a really terrible dream
Please God just let me, wake up in the morning
Or give me one more chance to hear him singing
I swear I’ll be anything that you want me to be

Hook:
‘Cause you’re so alive, right there
But it doesn’t change the fact that
you’re really not, yes, I’m aware

Chorus 2:
You lied when you said
you’d never let go
‘Cause once you go you can’t
come back from this you know
I guess that means that your purpose
must have been served in full
Just like I guess that means that I was
meant to spend the rest of my life alone

Bridge:
Your job wasn’t finished,
at least not from where I’m sitting
but maybe in your own sense of the word
I guess I can see
how you could have concluded
that it was some sort of destiny
or maybe you just didn’t know all the ways
that you were helping

Chorus 2:
You lied when you said
you’d never let go
‘Cause once you go you can’t
come back from this you know
I guess that means that your purpose
must have been served in full
Just like I guess that means that I was
meant to spend the rest of my life alone

Who doesn't enjoy an interesting indie artist? Am I good, am I bad? Who knows. Guess we'll all have to wait and see. Yes, "we" 'cause not even I know myself anymore. I think that really comes out in the tunes though. Who knows, perhaps it may be you who can help solve a mystery? Yeah, I like a lot of retro television :D But I'll be there for you, if you're there for me too! Ha ... more
