Story Behind The Song

Influenced by indie folk-pop band Grey Eye Glances, I wrote this song in my teens for my first love, a close friend who would spend late nights asking me hypothetical questions, sharing music, and enjoying the cleansing properties of thunderstorms.

Song Description

In this upbeat, piano/ukulele pop tune by Pennsylvania rock band The Flying Pigs, the singer reflects in the verses on his growing closeness with the object of his affection. In the choruses, he sings that whether or not what he is feeling is love, he will wait and see, and hopes that his new companion will "stay forever."

Lyrics

We'll ask each other questions
I love how we go back and forth until we drop off to sleep
And though we don't get many answers
It still provides us just a few precious hours of relief
When we say goodnight I'm at a loss for what to tell you
There's no way to summarize

I don't know about love
But I know there's no better way I could spend my day
In your arms I say "Better late than never"
Well now it's late, honey won't you stay forever?

We'll sing each other music
And share why each song makes us who we are
Simply close our eyes and listen
It will soothe our minds to know we can depend on each other to listen too
Every time a song plays that is screaming what I'm thinking
I will smile and close my eyes

I don't know about love
But I know there's no better way I could spend my day
In your arms I say "Better late than never"
Well now it's late, honey won't you stay forever?

I'm living more every minute with you; if it rains I say "let it rain"
Let the waters pour down and wash away the excess pain
And I'm so unsure of what my next move should be
And I don't know what you're thinking when you look back at me
I don't know...

I don't know about love
But I know there's no better way I could spend my day
In your arms I say "Better late than never"
Well now it's late, honey won't you stay forever?
