    The one song I've written that I know exactly who it's about and who it's for. Two years of my life is in this song, and it's very dear to me. Not really like the band's other stuff, this shows another side.

    Story Behind the Song
    This song's for my Rapunzel. Really, only she knows who she is. Originally it was simply about her getting grounded and not being able to see me for a long time. Since the time I wrote the original Rapunzel, things have changed, and the song has been altered slightly into a metaphor for our relationship that basically says I'll always be there for you, as long as you're willing to let me try. Richard and I thought about multitracking it, but decided that it'd be best if I simply sat down and performed it. We finished the track in one take. I'd been playing guitar for less than a year at this point, and this is the first song I wrote all myself.

    Lyrics
    I lie in bed at night
    Thinking of you.
    Where we went wrong,
    What I didn't do.
    I dreamed that we'd be perfect,
    But it just wasn't true.
    You had to believe in me,
    As I did in you...

    Now I'm up in my room
    With my guitar for a while,
    Finding the words that describe
    Your gorgeous smile.
    It feels like we're divided
    By 1000 miles,
    I hope your not unhappy
    Cause that's not your style.

    Cause you're my Rapunzel
    Will you let down your hair?
    If you look out your window
    I'll always be there,
    And I'll throw you a flower
    And you'll catch it midair.
    You'll always be Rapunzel
    If you let down your hair...

    Now through the dark clouds
    My love still shines through;
    From high above,
    Shining down on you.
    I'll always be your angel,
    No matter what you do,
    Cause I'll die happy
    Knowing you loved me too.

    But you're still my Rapunzel
    Will you let down your hair?
    If you look out your window
    I'll always be there,
    And I'll throw you a flower
    And you'll catch it midair.
    You'll always be Rapunzel
    If you let down you're
    Still my Rapunzel
    Will you let down your hair?
    If you look out your window
    I'll always be there,
    And I'll throw you a flower
    And you'll catch it midair.
    You'll always be Rapunzel
    If you let down your hair...
