Story Behind the Song
This song is about the feelings that come from watching a friend destroy himself. I wrote this when I was living in Tucson, Arizona.
Lyrics
Hey man, I don't know what I'm doing here
these days, I'm feeling so distracted.
So much work that I just have to wanna do
and I don't know how much more I can take;
between will and habit, one is sure to break
If I'm wrong will I be forced to suffer
with the choice I make?
Sure as hell need something strong to get me through
Don't try to push me away
cuz no matter what you do I'm gonna stay
yeah, I'll say it tho' it sounds so cliche
long as we're together it'll be ok
So sad, the shameful things you hide from you
won't help erase the sh*t you put me through
You try to hurt yourself, but your friends feel it too
But when I'm hurt I don't just run away
I see something in your soul that makes me stay
So don't think that you can scare me off, when you're the one afraid
Cuz I'm not ready to give up on you.
Don't try to make me cry,
cuz I know when you hurt me you wonder why
y'know we got to do our best to live before we die
yeah, you and me babe, we'll paint our names across the sky
