Things We Left Behind

(mike grutka)
Michael D Grutka
this is left over from 'reach' it didn't really fit the mood of that plus it wasn't done!

it almost wasn't done for this one either. i finished the electric guitar parts the day before my mastering deadline and only ofter i threw on the organ on a whim to just try something. that changed the feel enough to inspire the other parts, and led to the vocal harmonies. i like the feel i got.
you
me
are walking a one way street
and i don't see
any way out
now the time has come to be
the way you are right now
i don't hear a sound
but i can see the coming clouds

do you want to run away and hide again inside you
i want to be between the lies every night

you and me sideways
behind and upside down
time it takes away all the silence in our lives
everything forgotten
never knowing why
funny how it slipped away
a guess without a try

now i see you
things we never talked about
the things we left behind

you and me sideways
upsidedown behind
the silences between us all
finally fade away
all the prayers unanswered
never knowing why
searching for the things we hide
the things we left behind

now i can feel you
come in close let's talk about the things we left behind
