about

Another oldie that never properly made it onto an album. This was written about a conversation with my friend DA, in which he said that he'd dreamed that in all future choices in his life he chose opposite to what he thought he should do and that his life completely turned around for the better. I'd been languishing in a stagnant relationship and thought this sounded like an amazing concept. (it didn't work BTW) But the idea of wasting time when you could be with someone truly great made sense to me. Hence, YOU.

lyrics

I'm on the train headed to somewhere
Thinking of you
That's how I spend most of my time now
So it's nothing new
And I could just go far away
Iffen I got a clue
But I figured this too shall pass
As these things tend to do

I dreamed that we made different choices
In our lives
And though they seemed wrong at the time
In the end they all worked out right

And I'm frozen here to the ground
Waiting for that faint little sound
When my heart tells me that it's true
All this time, it could have been you.

And I think about speaking my mind now
But what would that change?
I'd still be here wishing for sunshine
While you pray to stop the rain
And maybe we'll meet in the middle
If the path doesn't change
But after all of these years
Taking it just seems so strange.

I dreamed that we made different choices
In our lives
And though they seemed wrong at the time
In the end they all turned out fine.

And I'm frozen here to the ground
Waiting for that faint little sound
When my heart tells me that it's true
All this time, it could have been you.
