Petals Like Days

Story Behind The Song

This is going to sound crazy but, the summer before my fifteenth birthday...I fell in love with a 24 yr old girl from Long Island, NY. I at the time had no idea what love was but I was pretty damn sure about how I felt about this person. Assuming that she felt the same way I gave her everything I could and became what most would call obsessed. Long story I was you and dumb and after she went back to NY I wrote this song. The first song I ever wrote and I was then fifteen. I never played it too much because the moment embarrassed me on looking back at it. James and Justin heard it and said they liked it so we cut this version of it and it came out decent I guess for an old song.

Lyrics

My eyes are like glass
clear right through
see whats on my mind
its' you.

Will you be with me
when the smoke has cleared
the apple of my eye
reflecting in my tears

Restless and awake
my soul it sleeps
the moon glows so bright
in the lake

I keep expecting you to come
but you never do
its not worth it at all
to keep missing you

questions blossom like the rose
the petals fall like days
the answers underneath my nose
as your fragrance strays

My heart sinks like a ship
in this ocean of pain
sometimes I wanna take a trip
and just get away.

Restless and awake
my soul it sleeps
the moon glows so bright
up and down my street
Where my heart sinks like a ship
in this ocean of pain
sometimes I wanna take a trip
and just get away

Your eyes are like glass
and i can see right through
see whats on your selfish mind
its' you.
