Story behind the song
Written half before and half after I met my girlfriend -- the first half about the girl I wanted to meet, the last half about the girl I actually met. And I wasn't disappointed. So, I shed my usual melancholy skin and dug my heels into this attempt at a true love song.
Lyrics
You're the reason I put the chapstick on my lips every night before I go to bed
Cause I know it's your lips mine might be meeting.
You're the reason I wash around the back of my neck and behind my ears
Cause your hands deserve no less and affection is fleeting
You make me happy to be alive...
You make me happy to be the one to have you by my side.
You're the reason I take the hair off of my face every morning before I leave
Cause I know that you'll see the smoothness in me
You're the reason I clip my nails on a regular basis instead of never at all
Cause even my feet feel the need to impress you
CHORUS
You're the reason I dance around when there's no music and there's no sound
Cause I hear your voice and I can find it in my mind
You're the reason I have a reason to stick around for another season
When I see your face in its place beside my own.
CHORUS
