Story Behind The Song

The title was inspired by a SongFight! contest. I made up the fictional situation based on the relationship I had with a songwriting partner.

Song Description

The singer never realized her longtime friend thought of her in a different light.

Lyrics

I remember
We'd get together almost every night
We'd have some laughs
The wine would flow just like the songs we'd write
And I felt close
To another human being
I felt safe
To be me and only me, ah

We had the magic touch
Out of thin air we'd bring a song to life
We dared to dream
That one day soon we'd see our name in lights
And I felt glad
That I had someone to count on
I felt safe
To be me and only me, ah

Now I see us with your eyes
The revelation took me by surprise
Stranger still, I realize

That I am tempted
By the great unknown, with a kindred soul
Yes I am tempted
And you say I'm free to choose,
But just look what we could lose

(Instrumental verse)

Now I am glad
That I had someone to count on
I feel free
That we're each who we must be, ah

Once I saw us with your eyes
The situation took me by surprise
I never once, in all my life, did fantasize
That I'd have to think twice

But I am tempted
By the great unknown, with a kindred soul
Yes I am tempted
And you say I'm free to choose
But just look what we could lose
(I am tempted)
Look what we could lose
(I am tempted)
Look what we could lose
(I am tempted)
Look what we could lose
