about

Bobby Dylan-style "Simple chord progression as a platform to tell your story of sorrow and woe" thing going on here.

I wrote the lyrics from the perspective of a girl who I care very much about. I owe a great amount of apologies to her, and writing this song was a very eye-opening experience to see things from her perspective.

lyrics

Come the rising sun and the break of dawn
I’ll be gone

While one tries to break me out of my shell
The other tries to keep me inside
They ran off together and left me behind
Broken-hearted and hung out to dry

I thought I’d laid claim
I thought it was understood
I truly felt like she stole
But that’s what I get for assuming my desires
Would get in between her and her goal

But it wasn’t my fault I never got a fair chance
How could I be to blame?
Everyone I talk to agrees I’m the victim
And I can’t help but feel the same

And they thought I ignored
But I couldn’t make myself look
It just hurts to see them so in love
Lord, I know that this jealousy is not of you
So please help me shed what’s not from above

Far enough away to gather myself
But not so far that I’m overwhelmed
I need a change of pace
Not a whole new race
A new life is outside my realm

If I had any confidence left
I would use it for evil
So it’s probably a blessing I don’t
It’s just so incredibly hard
To make a fresh start
And I can’t look back so I won’t

Lessons learned and the seasons have turned
Here I am with a new home
Though the tale I tell
Sounds like a personal hell
It’s showed me that I’m born to roam
