about

I wrote most of this song in 2013, and then finished it up for this project. It's about an ambitious, anxious couple that's moving too fast.

lyrics

I am a man so I'll do what I can
To make all of these pieces fall into my hand
And I know it ain't right but I knew exactly where
Where you stood when your father fell

Now we're going to the city and it'll take a city man
To make all of these pieces fall into your hand
It's all about you and and it's all about me
And who we'll meet and where we'll be

--
And I said hold on, hold on, hold on to me
--

Now we've moved into the city and found some space to fill
Some room to move and a place to build
And I'll build and I'll build yes I'll build so high
That there's no one around 'cept the birds in the sky

Now we've built and we've build and we've build so high
That there's no one around and we wonder why
Yet the lights shine bright on endless nights
And there's so much to say but no one to tell

(Chorus)

I'll take one more night out of every week
And one more hour out of every day
To retrace the lines that have brought us here
And to patch up the cracks that can take us away

(Chorus)

I am a man so I'll do what I can
To make all of these pieces fall into my hand
And it's all about you and it's all about me
And who we'll meet and where we'll be

(Chorus)
