Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song after falling asleep in the studio trying to work out the last tune for the "Through My Eyes" album. I had this song come to me while half asleep, the whole thing, arrangements, sounds, vocals, instruments. It took 1 hour to get it down.

Lyrics
It was just like any other one of those days,
I started walking down the road of memories of my yesterdays,
And I realized somewhere along I the line I strayed,
I've got to find some way to turn my life around again some way,
But I'm back,
And I know I've made mistakes,
And I know in the end I've got to pay so I'll take what I can take,
But if only I could realize the things that I forget,
I'd leave behind those yesterdays, never look the other way,
Cause I hear it,
It's calling my name,
And I can't believe it is it all in vain,
It's just a feeling that I can't explain,
So please don't deceive me,
Am I starting over again?,
So here I am,
Just a face without a name,
Looking for someone to take it,
Looking for someone to blame,
But I'm back,
And I know it sounds insane,
But I'm gonna try another time for the fortune and the fame,
Cause I hear it,
It's calling my name,
And I can't believe it is it all in vain,
It's just a feeling that I can't explain,
So please don't deceive me,
Am I starting over again?,
Cause I can't believe how the time has faded away,
What I wouldn't give for a moment of yesterday,
And I realize all the lives I've lost on the way,
Cause I hear it,
It's calling my name,
And I can't believe it is it all in vain,
It's just a feeling that I can't explain,
So please don't deceive me,
Am I starting over again?
