	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song during the summer of 2002, while staying in Montreal. I had gone through some messy times with my girlfriend, (all my fault) and got the idea for this song. The guitar line was something I had already been fooling around with, and so I worked on the two together. This year, we played it a few times in the band i play in Dr Toms Leather, and totally changed the feel and grooove of the song, which i liked and to some extent tried to duplicate here. The bridge is basically recalling the summer before (im from hick town MAINE where goin down to the river is still what we all do for fun), and how much i would like to go back to that period. Lyrics You know what I was thinkin' Thinkin' how nice it'd be To wake up every morning with your eyes on me. You know what I was thinkin', It could be a while. You know what I was hoping, Hoping that right now, could last a little longer, stay a little while, You know what i just noticed, How much I miss your smile. I wanna run with you, down to the water, Take our clothes off, and race across the sand, I wanna kiss you underwater, Come up for air but there's nothing there, Except for you. You know what I don't care, I don't care what people say, why should it matter what they say that we should be. But you know, it'd be nice, if we knew ourselves. Baby, I don't know any better way, to tell you that I love you. Except maybe, to tell you that I'm sorry, for all the times I've hurt you. It's crazy, this feeling that I get inside, when I'm not around you. Baby, you're always in my heart, always in my mind.
