My friend, Devin Van Noy, and I decided to write a song. It turned out better, I think, than either of us expected. With him on the guitar (he's incredible.) and me on lyrics, we made a pretty good team. This was the result.
More Than it Seemed
We live life, our eyes on the ground
And stand down, broken hearts all around
The treads that we walk are dull
And we wonder if we've lost our souls
Your eyes tell me of all of your tears
Your sighs tell me of all of the years
Wasted waiting all in vain
When all I wanted was to hear you say my name
The beat of my heart says you don't understand
All that I want is to hold your hand
And I just can't let it go
You broke my heart then left me alone
But at night you still walk my dreams
this love was more than it seemed.
My hands reach, but only find space
My thoughts take the shape of your face
A heart now built from sand
I breathe in once again
Memories, I'd rather be blind
Tucked in corners in the back of my mind
Each one a different blade
But love won't let them fade
CHORUS
Each day to face is another year
Each minute one more day
I walk alone without you here
Since the night you walked away
It wasn't easy all along
But it's harder since you're gone.
Some days I wish I could make you see
The heaven that your smile gave to me
You were my whole world
For you I've come unfurled
But now you're gone, and I have to go
Down pathways, new to all I know
A stranger in the rain
And try to hide the pain
CHORUS
