Story Behind The Song
A song about hope and learning to love again
Song Description
A song about hope. "If I knew now what I knew then, I could learn to love again." A dreamy but driving vibe with a kick-ass rap (of course I'm a bit biased). Great for any scenes with a theme of a comeback, rebirth, rebuild or determination.

Lyrics
For too long I've been obsessin' With the epicenter of my world revolvin' around some silly girl And for too long, I've been distressin' Treatin' everyday like the end, thinkin' pain was my only friend But I'm comin' back ... I'm comin' back CHORUS It's time I came back from the dead It's time to clear my troubled head If I knew now what I knew then Maybe life could spring again From the darkness of the night I can see a ray of light If I knew now what I knew then I could learn to love again For too long I've been hidin' Diggin' a hole deep underground prayin' to God I'll never be found And for too long I've been dyin' Shoveling pity up on myself, everyday gettin' closer to hell But I'm comin' back ... I'm comin' back CHORUS RAP A four letter word you turn to in a time of need A bandage that you wrap around your body when it bleeds It springs eternal - helps you clear the hurdle, uhh Reflects your mind outside and keeps your heart fertile About face, turn the next page If I get myself sorted I'll win the next stage, hey I keep it shinin', rough cut like a diamond Ticket for tomorrow been paid with yesterday Time to rebuild, comin' out of the rubble I gotta new deal, comin' out of my bubble Cuz I think I know now what I knew back then If I keep lookin' forward I can love again, yeah! CHORUS
