    Story Behind the Song
    Of course, you'd like to say that a song like this was motivated by a deeply personal experience--well partly. Alysson wrote this song, intially, because her jazz piano teacher told her to write a song in the key of E, and keep in mind the rests were important. She really liked the tune, and played it live at many shows, changing the lyrics to fit the moment. They only became fixed when she was forced into the studio to record the song. Everything is one take, except the bridge that went well in every show, but just didn't seem to come our right in the studio until Bill Baucom said "Just belt it out". So she did.

    Lyrics
    The pine trees are blowing
    With the winds of your hurricane
    Moving me to wash away the memories of you

    The summer of looking glass answers
    Looking back at what I did wrong
    But what good is it, 'cause I'll never be there again

    Where does it go from here?

    Down the path of inspiration
    Thank you for the gifts you gave
    But I haven't learned how to not forgive you

    Falling down, falling into desert air
    Down a rabbit hole when you
    Fell our of my constellations

    Where does it go from here?

    Where you go, you're watching me
    Don't leave me alone
    We're walking down this path
    Yeah, I see it here
    And we're going hand in hand
    I'll never know just where this path will lead
    But I know there is an end
    And don't you love me

    I want to tear
    Every word that you've ever said
    Out of the sky, I can learn to live without you

    Where does it go from here?
