Story behind the song
This was a song written for a famous jazz guitarist I had admired since I was a child. We became good friends and for a brief period of time I was his "groupie", but of course I wanted more and dealt with the rejection by writing this song. It's about keeping our fantasies in check and not trying to mix them up with reality, because true human nature is never like in our fantasies.
Lyrics
Emotions out of control again. Where's my head, it's in a spin? What just happened? Did it really happen? It's good enough to be your friend, but here I am again touching your skin, like I only imagined, overwhelmed by the passion I feel for you. While you were a fantasy, the world couldn't take you away. Before you became human, I could not be hurt by any words you say... It seems I lost myself again. I'm in a daze and I'm floundering. I can't believe it happened. Could it ever really happen? Will I be shattered if the phone won't ring? When months and months and months go by without anything? Then I only imagine, and I long for the passion. I long for you. While you were a fantasy, the world couldn't take you away. Before you became human, I could not be hurt by any words you say. While you were a fantasy, the world couldn't take you away. Before you became human, I could not be hurt by the harsh words you had to say. While you are a fantasy, the world can't take you away. Before you become human, I cannot not be hurt by any words you say. So stay up on your pedastol and play (your guitar for me).
