    Story Behind the Song
    About you tonight is the band's slow song (every band has to have one). Ironically it's not a love song, per se. It's a song Jonathan wrote for a one of his closest friends, Sara, who had been burned by yet another guy, and decided to give up on love. She had just tearfully confided in Jonathan about all these things, and he sat down and wrote a song for her, encouraging her to stay hopeful for love, and not blame herself for how things had gone.
    The twist to the whole story is that anyone who reads the lyrics could probably tell that Jonathan was actually in love with Sara, even though they had decided not to persue a relationship between the two of them. The song subtly pleads with Sara to take a chance with Jonathan, but assures her that she can look elsewhere and he'll still be there for her.

    Lyrics
    About You Tonight
    Words and music by Jonathan English

    Try not to think about it anymore tonight
    Try to lay your head down now and sleep
    I know that youll dream about him when you close your eyes
    But you can dream about how things should be

    It isnt fair to try to tell yourself not to cry
    It isnt fair to keep this all inside
    Try to keep in mind you fell again because youre sweet and youre kind
    And he doesnt know enough to treat you right
    Its about you tonight

    Try not to let this take up too much space inside
    Try to let it out then let it go
    I know that youve been left without a kind word
    Or a kind look towards your eyes
    Please believe theres so much you dont know

    You may not understand you hold so much in your little hand
    To set this world on fire if you keep on
    I know that youve been wronged
    But I know your heart and I know that youre strong so
    Try not to let this way you down tonight

    Its about you tonight
    Its about the way you look there when you close your eyes
    Like an angel whos been lost on her way home
    Its about you tonight
    Its about the way you look, you feel, what you know is right and
    How its left you out here all alone

    If you need a shoulder Ive got lots of time to sit
    Lots of time to hold you while you think
    Just look around this open room and see how much I care for you
    And know that some good things will never change

    Everything you do just makes me care just that much more for you
    And I dont even know what weve become
    Tonight Ill stay here right beside you and watch the years as they slip by you
    And try to figure out just where weve come from
