Story Behind the Song
Written all in one go on a Friday afternoon at school in a room void of any people and noises. I find times like that dangerous because it gives me an oppurtunity to think about people.
But sometimes, thinking of the right person, makes me feel just great. I suppose that's why this songs seems, slighty bittersweet.
Or quite possibly, I have no clue what I'm talking about.
Thanks to my buddy Jordan Smith for providing the piano for this song.
Lyrics
Alone this solitude pleases me,
Without you here, or anywhere I still miss everything.
The little times that we spent together,
All conquered by summer.
You looked so beautiful, yesterday.
The stuff of dreams and you escaped,
And in your haste, forgetting me.
And lost and weakened and helpless and vulnerable,
I sit and listen,
To reminders of these feelings.
We never got it through together.
I miss the times we spent.
Do you miss them too?
And afraid, this fear of no.
I hesitate.
Can't you realize, it's not that easy sometimes?
Do you smile underneath?
Those solemn sighs of relief,
That you wear, as I leave.
Or do you mock me? Or do you hide that shameful face which deceives?
And bury it pillows as you weep and retreat back to your old friends.
Where you hope you'll find your comfort.
And I hope you're happy this way,
Cause I'll tell you that I'm not.
And alone this solitude pleases me.
