Story Behind The Song
This song is about regreting past decisions involving a loved one. It is in this song that the realization of loneliness sets in. The lyrics speak of the days when we first met, and about the memories that I still keep and hold on to.
Song Description
This song is a unique ballad with classical fingerstyle picking in 6/8 time. The vocals are very smooth and moving. The key of the song modulates a few times, especially towards the end when the electric guitars kick in and the solo takes the song away.

Lyrics
Pull me down off my cloud today
My thoughts would race my heart
How little this feeling has ever changed
And the world seemed to stop that day
The faces fade away
Out of focus, distinguished forevermore
All the time, I can?t help but realize
Now all these nights I dream with open eyes
All the time, I can?t help but realize
Now all these nights I dream with open eyes
I still keep that old diary of memories deep in bloom
It inspires what?s left here inside of me
I still watch all the summers pass
Each slower than the last
I can?t keep up with all the days that I?ve missed
All the time, I can?t help but realize
Now all these nights I dream with open eyes
All the time, I can?t help but realize
Now all these nights I dream with open eyes
