Story Behind The Song
I went to a summer program and there was a girl there named Sarah that I had a crush on, but I didn't really know her, only "hello"s here and there. This was the first song I ever wrote and it evolved many times over many years until Sarah became more of a myth representing the perfect girl, or the girl I am searching for.

Lyrics
Verse 1
The smell of the air
When you?re standing near
Makes it so hard to breathe
As certainty neared
Things I have feared
Touched by reality
All day I knelt
Your body I felt
You never knew it to be
I glance in the mirror
You whisper in my ear and
Your body falls on top of me
Pre-Chorus
I left her at
I left her at
I left her on the outside outside
I left her at
I left her at
I left her on the outside
It?s my time
Chorus
So Sarah?s waiting on me
So Sarah?s waiting on me
So Sarah?s waiting on me
So Sarah?s waiting
Verse 2
The smell of your hair
The touch of your stare
They burn themselves in my brain
With you breathing hard
I drop my guard
Your body all covered again
I knew from the start
By the beat of your heart
You do more than play your part
Well you see me love
You see me love
Well I?ll be the one to fall
Pre-Chorus/Chorus
Bridge
Some say it?s your life
I want to see you tonight
Can you help me love
Because sometimes I just feel so hollow
Chorus
