Story Behind The Song
I usually don't have a story behind my songs. It starts with a single lyric and then I just follow the logic of the song.
Song Description
Bare bones demo, which highlights the strength of the melody and lyrics. Can be taken "anywhere" with further production. Deals with existential loneliness as personified by love lost. Somewhat blunt and straight forward, yet painfully honest.

Lyrics
At three in the morning when fear i running through your veins
and all that you want is for someone to say "It's all ok",
you turn out the lights and the quiet makes you even more alone.
ooooh alone, alone, alone
Her face still haunts you at night
it keeps you awake while you're thinking 'bout how you couldn't get it right
She said "give it time, it'll all turn out fine", well you're waiting still
and you're
ooooh alone, alone, alone
It slipped through your fingers, too wild to tame
you're keeping time, but you still feel the same
It slipped through your fingers, and no-one's to blame
You're keeping time, and you still feel the same
