about

Plain and simple, this is a break-up song. It entails the emotions from beginning to end; the confusion, the sadness, the acceptance, and the healing. The intricately played melancholy acoustic guitar is washed over by my little sister's backing vocals adding an ethereal touch. The rises and falls, the silences, and the gradual build-ups, are all there to show to emotions one goes through in this time. Simple topic, but one everyone can understand.

lyrics

V1/

I've been waking in the night

And you're not there by my side

And I wonder what went wrong

Was it something I said or done?

C1/

And I don't know what this means

But it's over so it seems

V2/

And oh if I could turn back time

Would things change or could we make it right?

So you go your way, I'll go mine

And I'll see you one day down the line

C2/

And I'm breaking at the seams

Someone wake me from this dream

Bridge/

I know everything will be fine

But right now, just wanna stay inside

I know everything will be fine

But right now, just wanna stay inside
