	A car wash in the afternoon? I wrote the lyrics for the verses in high school, so try not to hold them against me. Acoustic pop at its best.

	Story Behind the Song This song is a new version of a song I wrote when I was a junior in high school called "Follow You." I wrote it for my girlfriend who was going away to college. Recently I dug the song out of my archives, trashed the original chorus and the bridge, and attempted to come up with a catchier hook for the new chorus. I tried to keep the meaning and feeling of the song the same, and recorded this demo version entirely in my dorm room. I hope it gets stuck in your head. Lyrics It's the blue light from the TV That makes you just not want to believe That it's reality And the shadow from my dreaming tree It's missing and makes you want to scream You scream out for me Yellow tape around the dark crime scene It's not for you so who could it be Because I'm in a dream An expensive seat on sale for free A carwash in the afternoon for me It makes you see, can't you see? Chorus: I will follow you Anywhere you want me to I'll make sure that this goes on forever I will follow you With diamond rings and cardboard shoes I'll make sure that this goes on forever It's the black night on the outside That makes you just want to run and hide From all the light The tears are falling from blind eyes There's no reason for you to cry Because it's not goodbye It's a request and you might comply But don't do it for me because, well, I I don't know why The grass is greener on the other side Because the others they all took the time We should try to take our time Chorus
