Story behind the song

I wrote most of these lyrics after driving home late at night/early in the morning after a show. The music just kinda happened one day when I was messing around on the guitar, and it all came together. This is from my second solo acoustic songwriting demo CD, so it's just acoustic guitars and vocals. *Imagine* how it would sound with a full rock band fleshing it out. :)

Lyrics

Step Outside © 2004 Mike Grosshandler

It was a nice day today, I hear
I didn't step outside today, I fear
Fading tan, my face is paler
Pasty white, my summer's failure

Early morning lonely drive home from the bar
Sun is rising, bright horizon in my car
Stay awake a little longer
Poems come when you are warmer

Shades of yellows light the darkness
Creeping from the bottom witnessed
Blues from blacks, the stars are hiding
New day dawning, eyes are fighting

The rain outside, like a warm applause
Claps of thunder through closed doors
Lonely night, my empty bed
Sleep comes soon, pretend i'm dead

While tonight, the meteors fly
Wish that we could see outside
But I am here and she is there
She and I aren't "we", I swear

Onward, upward time to soar, I
Need to see a sight for sore eyes...
