Story Behind The Song

When I wrote this tune, I was thinking a lot about fate and love and death. My ex-girlfriend who i had just broken up with a year before was getting married in 3 days. Her father, who i was very close with, had just died months before. I was overwhelmed with how much things had changed in the past year. I met her for lunch three days before she was getting married--and i felt like nothing had changed. contrary to how i thought i would feel--i still felt very much in love with her and i sensed this from her as well. i always felt we were star-crossed lovers--two people so right for each other at the wrong times in their lives--if there is such a thing as a "wrong time". i daydreamed about telling her i loved her again and not to get married-and that it would bring her back. but i knew that wouldn't be fair because i am not ready for the committment she needs. "stars never lie--but they cry" we had something that was written in the stars-something magical. i imagined the stars weeping as we hugged and loved each other for the last time. but who knows what's in store for us? when i was writing this--i couldn't help but think of her father who had just passed on. the words started to take on the angle of "i know your gone-but your still here and i'll see you again in one way or another." that's the story!

Song Description

inspired by fate, love, and death

Lyrics

IN YOUR HEAD
VERSE:
I'M IN YOUR HEAD
THINKIN' BOUT EVERYTHING THAT I SAID
ON A MISSION
WISHIN YOU WERE SOMEWHERE HOLDING MY HAND

YOU TRY TO WORK
A WHAT-IF SWIMMMING AROUND IN YOUR MIND
SOMETHINGS ARE BETTER LEFT UNSAID
THE REST ARE BETTER LEFT BEHIND

DARLING THE STARS NEVER LIE
OH-THE STARS NEVER LIE
BUT THEY CRY
OH THEY CRY AND THEY CRY AND THEY CRY!

VERSE:
IF I WAS AN ANGEL
I'D VISIT YOU IN THE NIGHT
I'D STARE AT YOU IN THE DARKNESS
AND FILL YOUR ROOM WITH TEARS OF LIGHT

YOU LIVE WITH THE STARS NOW
YOU LIVE SO FAR AWAY
JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND YOU SEE ME
WHEN YOU THINK OF BETTER DAYS

CHORUS:
IF YOU WANNA RUNAWAY
TRY TO FIND THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY
YOUR SECRETS BURNIN DOWN IN YOUR HEART
AND THEY'RE BURNING--BURNING AWAY
YOU SEEM SO FAR AWAY--YOU SEEM SO FAR
BUT I KNOW THAT I'LL FIND YOU AGAIN ONE DAY
