Story behind the song
Travelling around the world without my girl.. so I wanted to write a song for her
Lyrics
Somedays we cry a million tears before we drown in salty lakes
The heart regrets but cannot mend a lifetime of mistakes
And as I wander through the looking glass, a boy becomes a man
I wish that you were here right now, so you could hold my hand
Now having you, is something that I took for granted
A part of me, like I’m the garden, you’re the seed was planted
And how romantic, remember dinner, getting tipsy
I was hooked on you, like a dog playing Frisbee
Yea but at the time, you knew I had another girl
Decisions that I had to make, to change entire worlds
So the plan unfurled, I was yours to call your baby boy
Doubts I had of happiness, they quickly were destroyed
Despite the evil ploys of others that would see our love erased
We took these challenges together, quickly turned the page
Now chapters later, I know I found the one for me
I wish you knew that, give you my eyes so you could see
Cos I got tunnel vision, and it’s you that starts the fision
Look inside my heart and see your name by the incision
We’re like hers and his and, all you gots to do is smile
Because if love was drops of water baby girl we’re the Nile
Deserted by our certainties,just maybes and perhaps
Shudders through the skeleton that feels a soul collapse
They say misery loves company, I think that is so sad
I wish that you were here right now, so you could hold my hand
Months they turned to weeks until was only days to go
My trip around the world was here, off skiing in the snow
Staying up all night to tell you everything would be alright
And I love it when we argue, how you always think you’re right
Whoa these past weeks… have really opened up my eyes
I want to be the one forever cradling your cries
Your knight in shining armour and the one to hold your hand
The one I love to overhear when calling me your man
Baby air, sea or land cannot separate the bond
Yea it’s hard I know, but we both gotta be strong
And it wont be long until I’m holding you and never let you go
I say these things so many times but I nned to let you know
So this songs for you, and the couples separated
For the loneliness and tears and for the times that we all hate
When we’re forced apart, by circumstances, call it fate
So tell them that you love them, don’t forget and don’t be late
I thought that fate could bring relief from the years of constant rains
Whilst emotions flow in rivulets, small saline drops of pain
Sometimes I lie awake and dream of you and I, so grand
I wish that you were here right now, so you could hold my hand
Beats and rhymes they help massage a battered soul of war
Rejuvenate a heart that questions what it’s fighting for
Close the door, looking at the pictures on the mantelpiece
Pray so hard beyond religion hoping soneome hears at least
Under sheets that help to incubate our dreams of clutching close
The feelings we could never share at the same time noone knows
The seed that rose, I watched it blossom to a flower
Mesmorized, transfixed I stood, encompassed by it’s power
Took a shower just to clear my head a towel to dry me off
Heard the slightnest noise behind the bathroom door, a cough
Now my mind’s playing tricks on me but damn I aint crazy
Its funny what the brain will do, reminds me of my baby
But soon I will be home, the separation due to cease
I wonder if she’ll still be there awaiting our release
And once our eyes will meet, I know my life is back again
My baby girl, my princess, most of all you’re my best friend
Blowing in the breeze like seeds are sown from distant buds
an eternity of pigeon feeding, searching for a dove
And though we try, we fail to comprehend, to understand
I wish that you were always here, so you could hold my hand...
