Story behind the song

Originally written in 2000, It's about my first real love and being forty miles away from her.  Obviously I thought that she was 'the one'.  Apparently, I was way off because she's now married to someone else.  But I still like the song.  It features Martin Geppert on lead guitar.

Lyrics

Intro:
It drives me crazy when you’re away

Forty miles away
From a perfect sunny day
I’m trapped in my cage;
A bitter, lonely place,
But what can I do with myself
Without you.

Chorus:
‘Cause you’re the one I’ve been paying for my whole life

She comes to me like an angel;
I’m living in my dreams.
I was searching for a fountain,
And crashed into your seas.

Chorus

I want to hold you so close right now,
It’s burning up my arms.
But you’re so far away right now,
It’s tearing out my heart.
