Story Behind The Song
An unexpected love interest enters the artist life but he is not ready or able to be with this person. The strength of the feeling takes both of them by surprise and the longing, yearning to be together, even though circumstances are such that they cannot be, takes a very emotional toll.

Lyrics
I wonder the thoughts you have behind your eyes
When you're looking into mine
This feeling may have come out if nowhere
Like it appeared out of thin air
But i know its real cause I cant explain the way I feel
When ever you're not there
Thinkin' bout u every minute
It hurts like hell but I'm dealing with it
I'm headed the wrong way down a one way empty street
The further I go the more it hurts
I hope whatever maybe coming down the road around the bend isn't just another lonely dead end
I'll never win your heart
But you've already run away with mine
I don't know where this came from
I wasn't looking for love
It's not the right place and its never going to be the right time)But I can't get you off my mind
This feeling may have come out if nowhere
Like it appeared out of thin air
But i know its real cause I cant describe the hell I feel
When ever you're not there
When you're not there
