You - 7/9/2002

This is a song that I wrote in a way that is very unusual for me. Not only did I have a melody already picked out that I wanted to use, but I actually took a different approach to the thought process. When I began writing, I intended this song to be about one specific person (those of you who know me well may have your ideas as to who it is), as I generally do, but part way through writing the song something happened. Maybe I got tired of writing that way, or maybe my feelings for the person changed, maybe it was divine intervention, or maybe it was a combo of the three, who knows. But the result was a song of which I am very proud. This song is more broad than I usually write. The two other songs posted here that are older were written about two specific people, but I think I had more fuel when I began to create people in my head to whom I could sing this to. Sorry for rambling on, I know I don't usually talk a lot about my writings because I like them to be interpreted and made more unique by the readers, but I thought someone out there might find it interesting as to why this song is so different. So here it is.

The moment that I saw you

I knew how this would be

We could fall in love

How easy it did seem

But slowly I began to see

What you were really like

And now I don’t know if you should

Stay or take a hike

You,

You’re all I think about

You’re always there

Inside my head

And You,

You’re all I dream about

You’re with me every

Night in my bed

I know you ain’t no good for me

But I don’t know if I care

Like a drug I am addicted

And it doesn’t seem so fair

So now I have to make a choice:

Hear my head and go

Or do I follow my heart

And hope our love does grow?

You,

You’re all I think about

You’re always there

Inside my head

And You,

You’re all I dream about

You’re with me every

Night in my bed

How foolish I must be

That I could fall so easily

But it’s this path that I will choose

What a chance to take

I hope my heart won’t break

Cause if it does I will lose.

You,

You’re all I think about

You’re always there

Inside my head

And You,

You’re all I dream about

You’re with me every

Night in my bed

You’re always there

Inside my head

You’re with me every

Night in my bed

You make me cry

But I want you in my bed
