Story behind the song
Very soft and mellow. This song was composed inside a tent under candle light at 3am. I'm going to start working on a full length solo album soon and seriously considering using a version of this song on it. The version here was recorded very late at night using pro-tools.
Lyrics
Taking time to realize that I'm only two feet tall I built my house of glass on a hill of sand I would be more than happy to give you everything you want But you just don't want what is mine to give I'm trying hard to realize what I'm doing wrong but if I think too much than I can't sleep I'm trying hard to work but your breathing down my neck I can't stop the clock, I can't grow young You don't know what it's like to be me I know you've heard this one a thousand times from a thousand different mouths You don't know what it's like to be me Please leave me alone and shut the door on your way out Staring out the window I see a rain covered dream it's hurting me, but I can't close my eyes Light yourself a candle, let the flame burn blue and red but don't waste skin on a cheap thrill I dream a conversation featuring a thousand mouths they speak to me and all at once if I could stop you breathing down my neck you know I would Pull a string and your gone for good You don't know what it's like to be me But you've heard this one a thousand times from a thousand different mouths You don't know what it's like to be me Please leave me alone and shut the door on your way out...
