This was the first song I ever wrote.
Acoustic Folk from Portland, OR
Story behind the song
This song was written about a girl I was too afraid to tell my feelings to. I was worried that she wouldn't like me. I suppose this song is looking back on that experience and realizing that If you never take a chance, you will always be alone. Kinda depressing but thats why I almost never play it for anyone...It just brings back too many rough memories.
Lyrics
Losing More Than a Year
Winter comes again, followed by the spring
Maybe this will be my greatest chance of all
To tell you how I need you
And all my thoughts about you
I know that I’ve been growing close to you
Growing ever close to you
Tonight I count the ways that I become amazed
At how the moonbeams gently fall across your face
I lean in closer to you
And I realize I’ve imagined you
I’m here alone with no one in your place
Yes it’s me the twinkling stars and empty space
Time is quickly passing and I’m still afraid of asking
To know exactly how you feel about me
It’s the fear that is within me
That will rob me from my heaven
My heaven on this planet earth with you
My happiness forever holding you
I’m quickly understanding why life is so demanding
There are times when I almost let it show
But I keep it all inside me
I’m terrified but laughing
Hoping that no one around me knows
Its so difficult not to let it show
Summers past away, you know the warmth will never stay
And the autumn wind it chills me to the core
I walk alone on my beach
All my dreams just always right out of reach
The waves crash over me into the shore
I lose myself within the oceans roar
