Story behind the song

I'd taken a break from semi-serious songwriting to take time to write some songs that were inspired by the harder times in my life; the times I haven't exactly taken time to deal with yet. After I got all the teenage angst and anger out, this song was born.

Lyrics

A Reason to Move On

a down and out boy sits on the docks
haunted by the past
too many voices lingering
in a mind of fragile glass
he takes cold showers to erase the pain 
though relief, it never lasts
happiness lies in another time
he thinks will never come to pass

(chorus) 
but he feels okay
as he watches the ships sail away
and he knows that the day
has gotta end eventually
so he stands up and pledges to the silent horizon
that sooner or later he'll find himself
a reason to move on

he walks home slowly through the fog
his hands deep in his pockets
he passes a girl in a yellow dress
accented by a heart-shaped locket
he wonders if he could ever be 
the picture in that heart
he regrets not asking her name
cause that would have been a great place to start

(chorus) 
but he feels okay 
as he watches the ships sail away
and he knows that the day
has gotta end eventually
so he stands up and pledges to the silent horizon
that sooner or later he'll find himself
a reason to move on

(bridge)
that was years ago
and now his life's become so changed
thanks to the girl in the yellow dress
of who he finally asked her name

(chorus, slightly altered)
he feels more than okay
on the deck of the ships that sail away
and he's thankful that those days
ended eventually
he stands up to thank the shining horizon
for pointing him in the direction
of a reason to move on
