about

I wrote this song shortly after started seeing Amber Walsh. I found something that i wanted to hold on to and then i remembered the last time i felt that way, i took it for granted. This is about remembering what is important to you and holding onto it even when its slipping out of your hands. Don't forget what you came for.

lyrics

This is the first time that I've felt at home in a long time- Since I was on my front lawn in the summer. I was eight years old, with my brothers, running barefoot and playing with toy swords. But, when we grow up we get used to the things that don't make us happy; throw it all away. Then, we blame it on the people who truly care about us and just fuck it up.
But, I've vowed to learn from my mistakes, I'm not going to give it all away.
But, I'll give you everything I own, just promise me I wont die alone. Isn't that what life is all about?

Then I woke up from a dream that I swore I had before and I saw you; none of that made sense to me, but I was happy. I could feel it shaking all of my bones
And now I remember why I came, I'm not going to give it all away.
But, I'll give you everything I own, just promise me I wont die alone
Isn't this what life is all about?

I'm home now and I will hold you close like I did when I was young. I wont let you go.
It's clear now as I go outside, the sun burns my eyes but I feel safe. They can't take me away.
