Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song to a girlfriend who is very important to me. Through the years of ups and downs I struggled with whether we should break up or stay together, like many of us do. Finally, after 6 years together, I found that all the moments we had shared, good and difficult, happy, sad or painful lent us deeper and deeper understanding of each other and ultimately brought us closer. This song tells my story of realization and joy at being given the chance to love deeply a person who so many times I almost lost.

Lyrics

If I give all my love to you
what else is there to prove
but are we still divided in the dark

these things that we defend
make no difference in the end
but these ghosts are tearing us apart

but I see
you are close to me
closer to me

Should I take you underground
to a place that can't be found
and disappear together in the sand
or should I write you in the sky
a million windows high
and angel I can carry in my hand

our light is strong and we carry on
we both belong

I think I'll wrap you in my arms
to silence the alarms
nothing but this moment needs to be
for you are everything this beggar needs to bring
and it's alright when you are close to me

closer to me
