about

I wrote this shortly after coming to Austin about love lost and lessons, painfully, learned. Something that you wouldn't wish on anybody, but it does make one stronger. I never imagined it as a reggae ballad, but it has some of that feel, especially in the chorus. Beth is singing with me there at the end.

lyrics

Followed you so far

Your lips don’t taste the same
as they did that October day,
when all I did was breathe you into me.
What am I supposed to do
with all those years I spent with you,
when I am holding myself.

Followed you so far, I don’t know where I am.
Loved you so long but your not the girl I know.
Followed you so far, that I don’t know where I am.
It doesn’t change a thing, dreams aren’t what they used to be

I’m just a bit confused,
when your heart closed off to me,
why I didn’t feel a thing like it was that way all along.
But I am sure that you’ll love me
just as I’m sure that I’ll love you
and when I hear your name, I’ll remember.

We were stronger long ago
when I’d call you on the phone
and it was everything to see you.
I want to call you now
but your voice has changed
and so has mine.

Will you call me on the phone
on Christmas and Birthdays
invite me over to meet your beau.
When I close my eyes and dream
will you haunt me like a ghost
alone in the bed, where we made love.
