Story Behind The Song

A stream of consciousness 'poem' that inadvertently turned into this great lyric and tune.

Song Description

The world I have without you is senseless. Thinking straight is a thing of the past and I can't find you.

Lyrics

The phone rings deep in the distance
I hear the empty room call, darling I miss you

The night runs and hides in all the tightest shadows in town
The moon rings silver and blue like we used to hold each other at night

Like an empty reel I spin 'round and 'round
with no place to go (2x)

Can't you find me somewhere I'm in a place I thought you would know
I thought that you would see me and we would start over
and I would laugh like nothing had ever been wrong
like nothing had ever been wrong

There are too many lights on in this room
when I want to fade away
I can't cry when someone is laughing at me
I can't cry when someone is laughing at me

Like an empty reel I spin 'round and 'round
with no place to go (2x)

The waitress might appear when I don't want her to
and I've already finished my drink
and I don't remember putting the glass to my lips
I don't remember what it was like
yesterday or the day before
'cause I haven't seen a thing that doesn't remind me
of how i used to be
of how I used to be with you

There are too many lights on in this room
when i want to fade awayt
I can't cry when somone is laughing at me
