	Alright, slowly but surely I'm getting some original tracks recorded. I'm still waiting for a certain program so I add some of my beats and electronica influence, but for now here's another acoustic track--this time an original. I wrote this song about a week ago, but I like it pretty well at this point, so I thought I'd throw it up here. The recording is still not perfect, but I may record a tighter version in the near future if I have the time. Anyway, enjoy, tell your friends, get me a girlfriend and keep checking this site for more songs. -Alex Leader

	Story Behind the Song This song is sort of a compilation of my experiences, as are many of my songs. It's basically a reference to what gets lost as we grow up and forget who we wanted to be. It was one of those songs that just kind of came out one night while I was sitting in my bedroom playing guitar, and over the next few days I tried to smooth it out a little bit, and got around to recording it about a week later. Lyrics Verse 1: In a world of dreamers We're wide awake Worrying too much And up too late The sun is empty but the nights mean everything So we stay up together to figure out some things Blue eyes, they look right through me And I try not to act like I think you're so beautiful Chorus: And how the hell did we all get so old When did growing up become letting go And brilliant futures pass us by Sometimes I just want to hit rewind Become that child who never had enough time When innocence lost and the passing years Were the furthest things from our minds Verse 2: Stupid, the risks we take when we're young And foolish, the ones we don't as we get older The dreamers, they give up, move on their way Got mouths to feed, got bills to pay The people running through their lives, it's tragic Like somewhere along the line they got stuck in automatic Chorus Bridge Chorus out
