You never wanna tell a person you love them because it might make them get rid of the things you fell in love with. So all you can do is dream. I wrote this, and recorded it acoustic.

Draft or demo tracks for two great bands, an alternative rock one and a pop-punk cover one.
My name is Peep Warren. I'm fifteen years old, and I play bass for a pop-punk cover band called KFC (), as well as bass, auxiliary guitar, drums, and vocals for an alternative rock-marketed band called The new season has brought the influx of two new memberships. I now play guitar, as is my dream, for two other secondary school bands, and . I started playing guitar at twelve, bass at thirteen, and I've been singing for as long as I remember. Oh yeah, and I can do a mean harmonica. In my spare time, I record acoustic tracks as drafts or demos for band performance, and I can write some pretty okay songs, although not for the genre I listen to the most. Cheers and enjoy.

Story behind the song
Sometimes love goes wrong somewhere. It would be okay in certain circumstances, but it wouldn't in others. This song is about the shameful kind, and how I would have wanted to express my feelings, but I estimate that it would probably freak the target of my affections out and unconsciously try to shut herself out of my life forever. Dramatic, huh? Not really. The song flows with a relatively happy tune.
Lyrics
Lying down beneath the midnight sky, I'm thinking 'bout you and asking why It is that every time I sleep to dream I won't wake up 'cause the world Is so much better than it seems. I toss and turn and I fall off my bed there's No coordination 'cause what's in my head Is one big melting pot of summer nights, But it's different if I gotta stay awake this time... It's on my pillow that the pain is comfy -- Best under blankets where it doesn't itch me, Like when I'm around and someone calls your name, And you just happen to see me, My ears, and how they burn with shame... I fear one day you'll stop taking for granted And you'll discover what I've always wanted Are bits of cushion stuffing and my mind reeling To capture all the things you're feeling. When I wake up, I wear a happy face That nothing can displace, No matter what it takes; With you I'm stronger than I am in truth In everything I do -- It's everything for you! Someday you'll find out what it is I'm hiding: It's so messed up it isn't worth defining; And I hope by that time, I'm tucked in tight Because I wouldn't remember how to set things right Well, cheers to the fact that I just rarely see you; It's about me that you don't have a clue And that I keep my secrets as I please: The only way that I can rest in peace. When I wake up, I wear a happy face That nothing can displace, No matter what it takes; With you I'm stronger than I am in truth In everything I do -- It's everything for you! I miss you, and those nights I stayed up late just to talk to you -- Tell me 'bout the times that you hurt again And you loved again In the days that I still saw you on YM. And it's true, but nothing's said or done or dug in too deep; It's probably a mystery I can keep So that I can sleep And you'll be free to be The everything you are to me. When I wake up, I wear a happy face That nothing can displace, No matter what it takes; With you I'm stronger than I am in truth In everything I do -- It's everything for you! (Ba nam pa nam pam, pa nam pa nam pam Pa nam pa nam pam, pa nam pa nam pam! Pa na na nam pa naaaaaaa...)
