	Story Behind the Song I wanted to write a song using the most common lyrics I could think of, comparing them to a love that has gone stale. Not a true story, however. Lyrics Cliché You set my heart on fire Filled me with sweet desire Burning passion and delight But the flame you started Suddenly departed Now I’m searching alone in the night When did all the words between us fail to captivate? Lines become so tired until there’s nothing new to state Spread like a cancer that we could not isolate Did the passages reveal our fate? You were my one and only No more feeling lonely Every second of the day But then the times were changing Never rearranging The love we felt so true had gone astray When did we forget to keep our gaze upon the sky? Searching along the ground with a customary eye Love so predictable and we never questioned why Did the promises we made begin to die? Commonplaces Familiar faces Subtle traces Cold embraces When did every loving phrase become so obsolete? Imagination worn like a path beneath our feet Only a formula when the ornaments decay Did we ever long to feel this way?
