Story behind the song
A real life situation put into words by a talented lyricist who is a voice major at NYU and sings on top of the 'piano concept'. This is song is awaiting the orchestral arrangement and then a demo will be made.
Lyrics
This is not the only time I have felt this way Many others crossed my path, and I turned away But somehow I cannot just forget The way you’ve changed my soul Here alone, you and me, let’s pretend we are free To complete what can never be Can I try to live my life like we have never met? Here my mind surrenders, but my heart cannot forget Uncertain of this feeling, relentless to the core You’re here but you’re not mine, within the bounds of time It’s hopeless for us to want more Beleaguered by this feeling; averse to close the door The circumstances wane in this unknown terrain And we know we can never explore it So now we have a friendship I guess we have a friendship Not more As reality merges with daydreams, I can think of a thousand persuasions But your face in my mind says that now’s not the time And I know you are right in your feelings I’m stuck in a moment that wasn’t meant to last You can go on living, but I know I can’t go back But you know we can never be the things I wish we were So for now, here’s our chance to erase a romance And replace it with something that’s real Can I try to live my life like we have never met? Here our minds surrender, but our hearts cannot forget Our hearts will be unbroken, But our lives won’t go unchanged A momentary glance, my heart is in a trance And neither of us it to blame I’m certain of this feeling now I’ll never close the door And parted we’ll go on, connected when we’re gone If only we could have had more And we’ll always have friendship The very best of friendship For sure.
