Story Behind the Song
Written on and off for about 2 years really, the verses around January 2001, and the chorus changed each month since then! Recorded with an acoustic rhythm and electric solo, then vocals over the top of that... The rhythm and vocals took two takes each, the solo took about ten takes!
Lyrics
For Just One Kiss
Maybe I'm not a hero,
Even though I dream I am,
I can't make myself cool,
I always end up the fool,
The only things I have are words,
My guitar, these chords and the truth,
-CHORUS-
I could take the stars out of the sky,
I could stop the rain if it should fall,
There's just one thing I'd ask you for,
I would stop the sun from trying to shine,
I would take a bullet and save your life,
And the only thing I'm asking for,
Is just one kiss from you,
Life ain't like it is on TV,
The movies always tell us lies,
No-one writes me my lines,
When I can't find the words,
But I wish I was a white knight,
So I could fight to rescue you,
CHORUS
Tell me to run and I'll ask you how far,
Tell me to jump, I'll ask how high,
I'd do anything, this you must believe,
All I want is just one kiss,
SOLO
So if I sing this song,
Maybe you'll understand
My love is pure,
Like your voice is sweet,
And all I want,
Is just one kiss from you,
CHORUS
