	This is the first single to be released by Properly Basic. It debuted on the compilation CD Midnight on Friday, the campus album for George Fox Univeristy, in April 2002. Only recorded in 4 ½ hours, a new version should be coming in the next couple months along with three or four more songs by the end of summer 2002. In many ways, this song is just a basic acoustic rock tune, but the dynamic changes and mood make it unique in its own way. Enjoy!

	Story Behind the Song This song was written in the fall of 2000, the freshman year of John Meindersee II, Properly Basic's lead singer, songwriter, and guitar player. It's about what was going on in his life then. Usually, a newer song would be picked first to record, but this was the first song that John had written since he was a freshman in high school so it had special significance to him. Lyrics I've thought long and hard And I've decided that you seem so very far Life seems so lonely now I need to find someone that can bring me back somehow It's cold and rainy here I think the weather is manifesting my fear I called her on the phone Her answering machine picked up she wasn't home Can you hear me cryin' Can you feel my fears It hurts to feel my heart ache Will you put my tears in your bottle? I tried to read the words on the pages Then I screamed but wasn't heard My lack of time takes hold I try to look ahead but my story is untold My joy keeps fading away Pain is here to stay I've only got one chance To make my life much better I think it might be her What happened to our romance Will I be satisfied Will I love her until the end of time Lord, it makes me cry I want to see her hand resting into mine
