---UPDATED--- It's slow and it's melodic and it reminds me of something that i can't put my finger on... and now i've finally done it some justice. Added bass, percussion and assorted other goodies. Enjoy.

Story behind the song
I was chillin with my buddy Scott and my guitar. We were talking about something or other and I was noodling around a bit...and i hit this chord. Not that it was a particularly special chord, but at that moment I had a tremendous urge to go drop tune the guitar based on that chord.
The song was written in about 20 minutes after that.
About 3 months later I had another urge to go back and fill the song out. I spent some 4 hours around midnight adding in anything I thought would fit, including nifty 3/4/5 percussion and a spoken word montage that reminds me of latter day Alice in Chains. Now I feel the song is complete.
Lyrics
hey you
where are you in such a hurry to?
could i ask you a question?
could i borrow your ear for just a moment?
could you tell me something?
for just a moment...
why can't all the people shake hands?
make friends
make amends
all the way
hey now
i see the furrow in your brow
do you have something to say?
do you want to tell me something right here?
do you feel a pang right here?
won't you tell me something i long to hear?
whisper it in my ear
send a bottled tear
all the way
is there someone out there just like me?
desperately
trying to see
all the way
