Story Behind the Song
When I started thinking seriously about putting together a full length album, I thought maybe it would be the start to finish saga of an important time in my life...i think I've changed my mind since then, but when I wrote this song I was thinking of it as being the first song on the album and the beginning of said saga.
Lyrics
haven't seen you around here before today,
but there's no way that i could have missed you,
think you're thinkin the same thing, i heard you say
"i don't know him but i think i wish to"
this has happened before, i have felt this way,
been alone for so long, could you be my escape?
if i climb aboard will you take me away
to a better place,
or will i fall?
hear familiar sounds coming from down the way,
you are nothing like what i am used to,
am i unlike the people you met today --
am i funny and clever and truthful?
will you be like the ones who have brought me pain,
will i pull myself up and be happy again --
will you be there with me on that fateful day
in a better place,
or will i fall?
