Story Behind The Song

This song is straight out of my life in 2000, the most heartbreaking time of my life.

Song Description

A man desperately in love having to let go of the woman he adores because she isnt sure of the relationship and he wonders why he hasn't heard from her.

Lyrics

[ Intro ]
[ Verse 1 ]
Seven days since I felt your touch
Five of these we haven't talked too much
Four of these have seen me running from the past
Yesterday I went to the game
A man and wife were called by name
Hers was Molly, all I heard was Holly... twice
When I set you free I didn't know
The days and nights would run so slow
Another day and still you haven't called

[ Chorus ]
The past keeps rearing it's head, saying this won't last
But I wanna believe my love that it's ok
It's always been the same before - always losing my love
But it's gonna be alright this time, 'cuz you love me
And I see ... the change in me

[ Verse 2 ]
Seven days since I held you near
Every day feels like a year
Every moment I'm fighting off this fear that I'll lose you
I wanna call you on the phone
But I promised that I'd leave you alone
To work through this conflict you're feeling inside
I fantasize that you show up
In a rented pickup truck
I turn the corner and you're sitting in the driveway

[ Chorus ]
[ Verse 3 ]
Woke up today to CMT
'Back to One' finally did it to me
Today's the day that I finally broke down and cried about you
I see the notes you left here for me
Your nametag from the Christmas party
I can't believe that I'm sitting here alone
I can't eat but I'm getting sleep
Unconcious is my one retreat
My waking hours I'm always thinking about you and how I miss you

[ Chorus ]
