Story Behind the Song
Overflowing with rich, tight, sometimes haunting harmonies, this is one of my favorites. The song is about someone who is very close to me. It's about being powerless to express admiration and love because of my own insecurities.
Lyrics
I wrote to you when you walked away,
who would've guessed that I'd have something to say
I know you weren't abandoning,
yet I took it so personally
You and your exquisite words,
me and my cheap metaphors
You would say it's all relative, but it's the,
only way I know how to give
The first to be everything
Always under your burdened wing
But I loved you anyway
I'd follow you any day
Unsure and broken, no, I never let you in,
as if awareness was some unspeakable sin
So much easier to make you smile,
even when all you wanna do is cry
Some foolish magnificent skill,
makes me wanna try
The first to be everything
Always under your burdened wing
But I loved you anyway
I'd follow you any day
It's all relative
influence you have over me
If silence is my savior
do I have your blessing
The first to be everything
Always under your burdened wing
But I loved you anyway
I'd follow you any day
