Story Behind The Song

On a trip to Alaska, I met an amazing girl and we instantly hit it off. We both knew that it wouldn't work based on the fact that we were from different worlds. As my trip ended, I sat down and wrote this song.

Song Description

Love short lived on a trip to Alaska

Lyrics

She sits alone
I'm at a loss for words
'cause my life, is a celebration of yours.
Your trance is like a title wave
Caught inside, with your 10'2" on your mind

When you think you've lost and your friends are gone
Then you turn around, without a thought to anyone
Look around you and you?re swimming in False Creek
------------------
- CHORUS -
------------------
And I say why
Got to get away for a while
Got to get away from the heartache and the pain
And I say why
Why does she stand alone in the cold
Cold Alaskan Rain
----------------
- VERSE -
----------------
Well I saw her face
I saw her beautiful smile
Knowing I could never ever have her
Never ever hold her makes me cry.

Well you lie right back, turn your stereo on
Roll your sun roof open and sing your song.
Stuck at a standstill in the middle of ?Can Be? Street
------------------
- CHORUS -
------------------
And I say why
Got to get away for a while
Got to get away from the heartache and the pain
And I say why
Why does she stand alone in the cold
Cold Alaskan Rain
-----------------
- BRIDGE -
-----------------
Well I say and I want and I give and I take
But I don?t understand
Why a love that can?t swim won?t sink or wash away
With Alaskan Rain
------------------
- CHORUS -
------------------
And I say why
Got to get away for a while
Got to get away from the heartache and the pain
And I say why
Why does she stand alone in the cold
Cold Alaskan Rain
