lyrics

I still remember that night.
Our stars were so aligned.
Something felt so right,
Like a fire on an autumn night.
Some people go all their lives and never feel this alive.
I looked up to the sky, took a breath and spoke my mind.
The thoughts I hide, if you only knew.
I've been searching through this life, just to find a "me and you".
In this moment, one thing is true:
I'd bring down the sky just be with you.
Can't forget that night.
Those stars, I think they lied.
Should've kept my tongue at bay
But we all have our roles to play.
And the moon was lost in the clouds,
I couldn't find you in the dark.

You're like the ocean, baby.
I'm standing on the shore.
What's behind those eyes, if I only knew.
I've been searching through this life just to find a "me and you"
You want the world, and I know you:
Even if I bring down the sky, it still won't do.
And your eyes are not the same,
Am I just not everything you need?
I wish I could start over again
I'd slow things down and give you the time you need.
And I know you're not the sun - but you're still there in the air I breathe.
It's been some time since I've seen you.
And time has a way of revealing the truth.
It's been some time, if it's all right with you.
I want you to know that I'm always here for you.

from The Empty Chair - EP, track released October 1, 2010
TRIVIA:
*This is the first song Brenden and Kevin collaborated on lyrically (though Brenden and Mike Ritz had written the original draft before Kevin came along to help touch it up). All three were real sad about girls at the time.

*This song was featured in the satire film "GR30K" -- an obese villain plays it on vinyl as he takes a bath. (no vinyl version actually exists)
