Story Behind The Song

A song I wrote for my wife and myself. An examination/exploration about the selfishness that lives inside love and is present in every relationship. I wanted to write a different type of love song.

Song Description

A dark love song about selfishness in love.

Lyrics

FAVOR

As a child I always crumbled
In the corner of everyone?s eye
I tossed and turned and tumbled
Through all of my days and my nights
Love was just a distant stranger
Laced with grace and danger, a maze of design
Now I?m humble like the Buddha
When I?m falling through you
I am color and wine

Cause you amaze me when you engage me
In cocktail conversation like a cold manifestation
You haunt me when you don?t want me
I?d never claim to be your savior
But I will always do you a favor.

As a man I often wonder
Why we measure our lives by our time
Feeling over, feeling under
And walking in place and in line
And it fills me full of sorrow
Like a yesterdaytomorrow
But you turn it to fine
I don?t ever want to lose you
And I can see right through you
If you don?t mind

And you amaze me when you enrage me
With a look of pure conviction
It?s stranger than fiction
You haunt me when you don?t want me
I may be selfish in behavior
But I will always do you a favor

I?ll give you space with a melancholy face
If you set your pace, I?ll save your place
I can?t say I never knew you
Cause I can see through you.

Now I know I never make sense in petty poetic arguments
That strain to rhyme
I hope I never lose you and I can see right through you
All of the time

And you amaze me when you out gaze me
With eyes that calm my waters
Like the devil?s dirty daughters
You haunt me when you don?t want me
I?d never claim to be your savior
But I will always do you a favor.


Do you a favor.
