Story Behind The Song
I lost a dear friend and the best musician I know to a tragic accident. This was just me expressing those feelings of uncertainty about the situation that took him and the great beyond. I know you're still listening my brother, rock on....
Song Description
This is a survivor guilt song for sure. It is always hard to lose someone and never know for sure what happened. However, for those who believe, no one really ever goes that far away if they were close to you.

Lyrics
Gotta Know
Lyrics and music by T.J. Neveldine © 2005
Sometimes, maybe I think too much, or I?m trying to look too deep
Sometimes maybe I see what I want, and I make my own reality
But I refuse to believe that I ever wished for this
Have you answered my prayers with some new kind of down
Does it matter? Yes it does, I gotta live with myself now
I?m breaking into what I have made; it?s an impasse to the past
And it?s all that I ever wanted to have, I?d give anything to give it back
But I refuse to believe that I ever wished for this
Have you struck me down to some new kind of low?
Does it matter? Yes it does, I gotta live with myself
I gotta know it wasn?t me who left you in the cold
But where did you go? ?Cause I think I feel you still
And you seem so close, I gotta know, I gotta know now
I?m breaking into what I have made; it?s an impasse to the past
And it?s all that I ever wanted to have, I?d give anything to give it back
But I refuse to believe that I ever wished for this
Have answered my prayers with some new kind of low?
Does it matter? Yes it does, I gotta live with myself
I gotta know it wasn?t me who left you in the cold
But where did you go? ?Cause I think I feel you still
And you seem so close, I gotta know, I gotta know now
