Story behind the song
A real life situation put into words by a talented lyricist who is a voice major at NYU and sings on top of the 'piano concept'. This is song is awaiting the orchestral arrangement and then a demo will be made.
Lyrics
This is not the only time I have felt this way
Many others crossed my path, and I turned away
But somehow I cannot just forget
The way you’ve changed my soul
Here alone, you and me, let’s pretend we are free
To complete what can never be
Can I try to live my life like we have never met?
Here my mind surrenders, but my heart cannot forget
Uncertain of this feeling, relentless to the core
You’re here but you’re not mine, within the bounds of time
It’s hopeless for us to want more
Beleaguered by this feeling; averse to close the door
The circumstances wane in this unknown terrain
And we know we can never explore it
So now we have a friendship
I guess we have a friendship
Not more
As reality merges with daydreams, I can think of a thousand persuasions
But your face in my mind says that now’s not the time
And I know you are right in your feelings
I’m stuck in a moment that wasn’t meant to last
You can go on living, but I know I can’t go back
But you know we can never be the things I wish we were
So for now, here’s our chance to erase a romance
And replace it with something that’s real
Can I try to live my life like we have never met?
Here our minds surrender, but our hearts cannot forget
Our hearts will be unbroken,
But our lives won’t go unchanged
A momentary glance, my heart is in a trance
And neither of us it to blame
I’m certain of this feeling now
I’ll never close the door
And parted we’ll go on, connected when we’re gone
If only we could have had more
And we’ll always have friendship
The very best of friendship
For sure.
