Story Behind The Song
This is another song that I wrote over a deep attraction that I had for someone. It's really about getting to the point where you realize that you think about this other person too much and you don't know what to do about it. It's a helplessly in love feeling.
Song Description
This song is off of my Second Avenue Crush release, and as the first track, it starts off the album with the idea of having a crush or falling in love with someone. I felt that having the sweet quality of the cello and acoustic guitar really sets the tone for a song like this.

Lyrics
I've been walking after you
Following footsteps though and though
Like a lost soul on lonely avenue.
I can handle the crush, I can steer the waves
I can roll past hours, into days
I can hear the voices but I don't know what they say.
I don't know if it's too late to stop
I can't tell if you're in it or not
Hold on tight because ready or not
It's falling out my hands, It's falling out my hands
It's falling out my hands, to the ground.
It's been too long I can't take the strain
I'm growing tired of this constant pain
This burning desire is losing it's flame.
I can handle the crush, I can steer the waves
I can roll past hours into days
I can hear the voices but I don't know what they say.
It's falling out my hands, It's falling out my hands
It's falling out my hands, to the ground.
