Story Behind The Song

My work, my life, my personal relationships - everything seemed to finally make sense in '06, after what seemed like a too-long period of confusion & frustration. I was lost for a long while, and gradually, events in my life came to pass that made me feel

Song Description

I wrote this on the piano a few years ago, and always envisioned it as a Coldplay-style tune - big chord-banging chorus, my head bobbing, Chris Martin-like as I slammed my little nubby fingers against the keys. I asked Brett, Steve, & Scott to play along

Lyrics

THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS

My lady, she's so high
Beautiful baby, yeah she's just full of surprises
I'm keeping time, I'm keeping busy
Dizzy, is she hurting too?
It's sleepy time, but I'm not sleepy
Deeply thinking what to do about it

This is serious business
No more fooling around
It's time to figure it out, and the time is now
If everything I do was meant to lead to you
Then I can face it
We're really gonna make it

My lady, she's in the palm of my hand
Isn't it crazy, how we never seem to learn even tho we understand?
All my fault, and all my faults
Are partially to blame for this
No one's perfect, nothing is
But imperfection's what we end up missing

This is serious business
No more fooling around
You better work it all out, cause the time is now
If everything I do was meant to lead to you
Then I can face it
We're really gonna make it this time
If we try
Is it a crime to let it go until we finally get things right?

This is serious business
No more fooling around
It's time to figure it out, and the time is now
If everything I do was meant to lead to you
Then I can face it
We're really gonna make it this time
