about
I wrote this song after overhearing a conversation a friend of mine was having on the phone. He was trying to convince his buddy to not commit suicide. Not all the lyrics related directly, they are more about the feeling of hearing that desperate conversation.
lyrics
if I were an island, I'd have cliffs on all sides
if I were an island, there'd be no buried treasure to find
my eyes are just caves made from erosion
you look kind of strange running in slow motion
are you still the same since last I saw you?
or did you change your name so I'd never find you?
everyone waits for you
every ladder climbs to the roof
don't misbehave, or I'll tell your father
I want you to be safe, don't know why I bother
everyone waits for you
every ladder climbs to the roof
why an I still awake?
there's not a damn thing to do
every bone in me aches
'cuz it was wrong to love you
it was wrong to love you
if I were an island, there'd be no buried treasure to find
my eyes are just caves made from erosion
you look kind of strange running in slow motion
are you still the same since last I saw you?
or did you change your name so I'd never find you?
everyone waits for you
every ladder climbs to the roof
don't misbehave, or I'll tell your father
I want you to be safe, don't know why I bother
everyone waits for you
every ladder climbs to the roof
why an I still awake?
there's not a damn thing to do
every bone in me aches
'cuz it was wrong to love you
it was wrong to love you

They Carried The Clouds
by ParadigmThis is the last album by the first band I was ever in. It is something I am very proud of, and I think you will find it engaging, exciting, and worth coming back to again. I'm on lead vox/guitar.
