This is a song from my first album, and one of my more popular crowd songs. It's got a pop feel, but based on an acoustic riff and CSN vocal styling. A real upbeat feel. |
CD: 4 Years
Credits: Words and Lyrics by John Doman. Recorded at Greenwave Studios, Weirton, W.Va. |
Story Behind the Song
The story behind this song was simply to capture that feeling of beautiful girl that you just can't get the guts to talk to. I wrote it for this girl I had a crush on in high school. The lyrics reflect that feeling of delightful isolation, of adoration from afar (or something like that!)
Lyrics
Lying in bed, on a Sunday afternoon
Blankets lying on the floor
I’m feeling lonely now, and the days go by so soon
And nobody’s knocking on my door
So much potential wasted, lying in the gloom
So many things I did not do
I’m though with living lies, and painting empty rooms
I’ll tell you the story of a girl – I never knew
I don’t know where she’s going, don’t know where she’s been
I’m not presumptuous any more
She lives in a world of wisdom, and beauty’s what she gives
But I know that I can’t cross that shore
And if you see her, know this now:
You don’t know what she’ll do or say to make you lose your cool
You might not notice for a while
But bit by bit you’ll realize that you’re losing your control
‘cause she found you
Sitting alone, on the balcony at noon
Watching the geese go flying by
I try to forget about her, don’t know what to do
But I know I can’t live this lie
I got her within me now, a flame in my inside
But I can’t claim her as my own
I got to release her now, and let her choose her mind
To reap the seeds, I have to sow
