Hope it goes without saying but I'll say it.. I write Character songs about life, love, loss in culture around us.....and true songs on the love of Jesus Christ
I was still hurting over things not working out
Spent a lot of time locked up in the house
friends came over tryin to get me out
Till I couldn't tell them no
They took me down to the city scene
They were laughing and ordering drinks
I was just about to crack a smile
when I saw you walk through the door
And I had to go
I had to go
I had to go ...I couldn't wait
I had to go ...It was more than my heart could take
How all those buried emotions could come rushing back.... I don't know
But I had to go
I gotta call from my sister on the phone at work
Seems like forever since I"d heard from her
It was so good to hear her voice and catch up again
She talked about her husband and her kids
we laughed outloud to some remember whens
but when she asked about you
I brought the conversation to an end
I had to go
I had to go ...I couldn't wait
I had to go ...It was more than my heart could take
How all those buried emotions could come rushing back .....I don't know
But I had to go
And I kept waiting....for time to heal my broken heart
Just when I thought ....I may never move on
she was checking out my groceries at the local store
though i'd seen her prety face in there before
Today I could feel there was something more
in the way our eyes both met
She said Im goin out with friends when I get off
asked me if I'd like to come along
I could hardly contain my smile
When I looked at her and said ....yes
Chorus
Great song and a great recording. Guitar track and vocal are some of your best work imo. Good stuff Greg!
