Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song based on the desire and attraction that I had for a girl that was a friend of mine. She was in a relationship at the time that I began to realize that I had feelings for her, and I couldn't tell if I was in the friend-zone or if she felt the same as I did. When my feelings for her began to overwhelm me, I wrote this song as ideas of how I could tell her came to my mind. Though the relationship never came to be after I confessed.

Song Description

When friendship between two people turns into an attraction, the one that is desiring the other is searching for a way to tell the other person that they are in love with them. He needs to cross the friend-zone in order to do this. He has to risk losing her friendship by possibly gaining her love. There are references to childhood classroom ideas and young love. Ideas like checking the box if you like me, filling in the blanks and asking if she will be his Valentine. The song is acoustic guitar based with light drums and bass with soft piano and cello arrangements.

Lyrics

I've been keeping it inside It's all waiting for a sign
Just a look, that will tell me , If I'm right
That you could be my valentine.

Now, what would you say?
If I cross, the line that we have made
If the words, don't come easy, I'll fill in the blanks
Yes, I, Feel, The, Same.

I want to tell you, that I can't get you out of my dreams
The whole time that we've been friends
I've been wishing for other things
And it's getting hard, on my self esteem.

How, can I tell this to you?
If I don't make the first move
I've written you a letter, just check the square.
Pass it back down to me it you dare.

I want to tell you, that I can't get you out of my dreams
The whole time that we've been friends
I've been wishing for other things
And it's getting hard, on my self esteem.
