Story Behind The Song

Written while musing how sometimes love can hold you back

Song Description

How though we live our lives through love, we really live it alone

Lyrics

I came back from LA choking on a flood of ancient memories
But not one had a thing to do with you
All about my life ago when I was at my loneliest
But nothing about all that we?ve been through

But LA was my growing up and LA was my mentoring
And all my pain and all my sweat and tears
But more than that the way I made my way into this world
And all that I have carried through the years

CHORUS: My life has walked a wayward path, a woman from a girl
The way I?ve learned to love and to care
The yearnings of a child into a woman of the world
It?s strange it?s not about the life we shared

With you it was about the rain, with you about the road
With you about the longing and the lean
But now I walk another path, I?m carried as I go
And all this life is but a bigger dream

Bigger than all we?ve lost
Bigger than all we?ve gained
Bigger than all the love we hold to heart
Bigger than all we know
Bigger than all we name
Bigger than all we?ve torn apart

And as I look in front of me as I have looked behind
I see there is a light on down the road
If 20 years is but a drop with 40 up ahead
Then 50 was the perfect time to go

CHORUS:

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in who we are together
We forget that all this life is but alone
We come into this world screaming, we go out another door
And somewhere in the middle we find home

CHORUS:

Bigger than all we?ve lost
Bigger than all we?ve gained
Bigger than all the love we hold to heart
