Story Behind The Song

This song took me about 2 months all together to complete. I really wanted to channel the emotion I felt when the original idea came about and I learned how to focus my mind on feelings rather than words and then bring those feelings out onto paper. I thought about all that I had been through in my life, how far I've come and how far I have yet to go. I remembered a certain being who understood me better than anyone and they were my go to person whenever I needed to just get way from it all for a bit to breath, relive and start over.

Song Description

When aiming to pursue a dream or working towards something in life becomes one's biggest stress it can ultimately become difficult to cope at times. When you feel like, for the moment, nothing else except for you and the one person you truly love matters, grab them by the hand and run away for as long as it takes to feel like breathing is easy again. Where every and anything can be expressed and let go of.

Lyrics

Verse.1

Nights are long
where do I go now
the day is gone
and my mind has been all worn out
I stay alone
lately I've been feeling so misunderstood
so I play a song
maybe if I break it down for you would you...
could you...
be my sweet hang over
save me
from this life and take me to paradise.

Chorus.

From what I've been told
the water is gold there
all that glitters ain't gold
but we can go there.

Verse.2

Summer's mine
I'm gonna take it straight through the winter too
but this heart of mine
is in need of love and I can't imagine how it beats without you
and I know I'm not alone on this feeling I hide in my mind
we can run away along the horizon, yeah
could you...
be my sweet hangover
save me
from this life and take me to paradise.

Chorus.

From what I've been told
the water is gold there
all that glitters ain't gold
but we can go there.

Bridge.

Caught me from behind
hit the back of my mind
straight through to my heart yeah, yeah.
