'Way' deals with losing someone when you know in your heart that you should both be together. When it comes to any kind of romance there is always some degree of risk and a lot of times there just needs to be some reassurance.

The story behind this song is pretty simple. My girlfriend at the time was in my room at my parent's place and she was on the phone talking long distance for hours and hours. I ran away to the bathroom with my guitar and started writing this song. About an hour later she was still on the phone but I had finished the song.

The Way It's Meant to Be
Do you remember all the things you said to me, do you still think about it?
And I remember how the time away was here, and everywhere I noticed
That my life was so much better when you were here with me
I think that's something you could see

So stay with me there's just no time to wait and see, baby
Just stay with me, I'll hold you close and that's the way its meant to be
Do you remember all the times I've stayed with you through everything you know it
I remember how you made me feel this way I've never felt with no-one
And your life would be much better if you were here with me
Or is that something you can't see

So stay with me there's just no time to wait and see, baby
Just stay with me, I'll make you smile and that's the way its meant to be

Its time to make up our minds, so are you sure
Let's throw away our worries.
I promise not to promise, but keep you warm

And I know if you're not with me my world would be incomplete
Yeah, you're the only one for me

So stay with me there's just no time to wait and see, baby
Just stay with me, I'll hold you close and that's the way its meant to be
