Story Behind the Song
you'll have to listen for yourself - its a good, sad story
Lyrics
Bright red dress, long brown hair
Wide dark eyes, an astonished stare
and she said .... How ya been.
An awkward pause, from a no speak clause
that we never really signed
into effect ... 4 years ago.
A bit white stone sat on her hand
twas accompanied by a small gold band
... i said i've been fine.
She don't pick up on my lie
i cock my head & force a smile
... and say whats his name?
She looks away, her hair's in her face
she says I wanted to call, but I
didn't know what place ... to begin.
"Hello" is always the word for me
when i'm lost for words, but
forgive my ... simplicity.
She said forgive me babe if I'm not
the same, but don't worry about me.
No don't worry about me.
I know we could have taken this world,
stood on its steeple and watched it
swirl - but I'm happy here ...
and doin' fine.
She cracked a grin to hide her laugh
and the beauty of her face came fast
... like it used to do.
She said the colors don't look the
same to me, I've been swallowed up
into this green .. of this small town.
So forgive me babe if theres not much
to say, but all these people they took
my fame ... they think for me.
Don't eat that, and don't drink this,
don't test these walls, ignorance is
blissss ... or so they preach.
And i could tell by now that her once
bright star somehow fizzled out and
lost its shine ... along the way.
