Story Behind The Song

I was on a plane from Anchorage Alaska at night, and the northern lights were shimmering outside the plane all the way across Canada. I had been working on a song about obsession, and that gave me the hook and inspiration I was looking for to wrap around

Song Description

A song about obsessive love.

Lyrics

The Thought of You

Words and Music: Todd Staudinger

Late at night,
I feel myself being pulled to the light
Early gray
I sense those thoughts seem to face away
They follow me
I toil in vain just to find the vein
Yellow sky
I drift away as the days pass by?.

I?m in love with the thought of you
I?m in love with the thought of you

Northern Lights
They shimmer green on a winters night
Breath meets air
I see my mist floating to you there
Your part of me
I watch from where there?s no chance you?ll see
You?ll never know
Your in my heart and you rule my soul

I?m in love with the thought of you
I?m in love with the thought of you

Well I don?t know where your going
But I do know where I?ve been
And if this love just keeps growing
Open up and let me in
And I don?t know how to tell you
But I do know how to lie
So I?ll keep this story going
And I?ll hope you find me??.

All I want is to be in love with you
All I want is to be in love with you???

Summer rain
I feel my past start to wash away
I know it?s right
It?s only time till you feel my light

I?m in love with the thought of you
All I want is to be in love with you
I?m in love with the thought of you
All I want is to be in love with you???..
