Story Behind The Song
The story behind the song is really just one individual with a first and a last name who lives somewhere in the heart of West Virginia. He taught me a lot about love and the lack thereof.
Song Description
A relationship that started out beautifully has turned cold and although it is still beautiful for her, she can tell he isn't returning anything but mechanical sex. She can't leave him and that is where it's a price to pay, everytime she spreads her legs and gives in. She needs him to leave her so she can have her vision and dream of true love back.

Lyrics
Today was so grande
I held your hand in mine
Visions of what we will be crossin' my mind
The light poured through the window on you
And your body told me what to do
But you can have it back, you can have it back
What it is I lack
You can have the jealousy, I don't want to be a part of that
'Cause I am through with my eyes on you
Now I can't see
Please leave me
But there I lie in scandelous sly with my legs spread and curious eye
You sink the sorrow of lonely colds in sheets
And this is not what I dreamed
But that's O.K. with me
'Cause I'm not gonna cry
You're just the film on my eyes
And I'm not gonna scream
I know they can be washed clean
So you can have it back, you can have it back
What it is I lack
You can have the jealousy, I don't want to be a part of that
'Cause I am through with my eyes on you
And I can't see, Please leave me
Leave me
Why won't you leave me
Go on and walk out the door
I don't want to see you anymore
And I know, I know to stay away
I know my soul for the lay
Can I afford the price I'll pay?
