Way Back When

Story Behind The Song

For me the song is a message that warns creative people with vision and talent not to get caught up with the wrong people who discourge your dreams. Get out, find your world, be bold. There is also an acceptance that even though there are negative people

Lyrics

I wandered in the door to another desperate world, I never learn
Telling me the way things are as if you'd go so far , but have you heard?
I tell you of my dreams you laugh as well
But you are no reflection of myself
I have nothing left, I have nothing left to say or prove to you
To another day where the letting go of you falls into place
The stars may be 1,000,000,000 miles away
It was always me, you were never in my way
It's funny how we find something to blame
I sink or swim this sea I brave
I feel inside me once again
Something real from way back when
