Story behind the song
*WARNING*
If you would rather enjoy this piece of art and have it come to mean something truly unique to you, do not read the backstory. Just as the band “Aerosmith” once criticized the music video industry of robbing fans from having their own visions of imagery associated to a song and supplanting it with some “official” footage, so too can knowing a songs backstory potentially come to rob it of having some special place and meaning for you.
Or both can exist. It’s all really subjective. Proceed with understanding.
Thank you,

The Official Backstory
This was also about my very first love, which is to say not a song about Jade.
This one is connected, in a way, to "The Song" and "If I Was Dead", but in more of a direction of closure than anything else. The other two were bookends to each other, this one was more an acceptance that I have to move on and let go. This wasn't a song about holding on, like "Hold On" was. My first love, among the great many positive things I could certainly say - they did not draw my best out of me. They hurt me quite a bit, and forgot me very thoroughly. I was able to move on.
This is a song about being at that first uncertain step toward the journey that is moving on.

Sometimes, you can't see
And it can happen to me
You've gotta slow down
You drown in endless thoughts, you fight,
You walk down an endless road at night,
Your souls cold
We let it happen
It didn't have to happen
We could have worked it out
Now "What'll I ever do without you?"
And a million other metaphors
Sound so cliché
Sometimes, you can't see
And it can happen to me
You've gotta slow down
You drown in endless thoughts, you fight,
You walk down an endless road at night,
Your souls cold
Is it all in my head?
It tends to lean in juxtaposition
What is life all about?
But I can't help but wonder
If only I, if only I…
But it's alright
But it's alright
It hurts to close this final chapter,
The one important, yet tragic chapter
Of my life
