Lately
I’ve been
Coming to grips with the fact
That not everything is as it seems
And we can’t be caught drinking together anymore
In the darkened alleys we were used to haunt
I won’t start a fight
I’d make a fire but the flame won’t catch
I just can’t catch my breath
And all these things
And all these things you stole from me
Remember when you wore my sweater
I said I’d let you come around again
This is an invitation to let you know
Just to let you know how I’ve been doing
I still taste your skin
And at night, when it’s cold enough
I go out, I walk downtown
And remember those nights
When we were so close I could feel
Underneath your clothes
It’s not the time or place
But I’m still living
I scream on the top of my building at night
Just to let you know
That I’m still alive
[F] You’ll always be the [C] thorn
[Am] In my side
[Fm] The darker light at [G7] night
The firefly I caught [Am]
And I got burned
I let you go
I’ll always let you go
It’s not regret
It’s just good bye
I just thought I’d let you know
I’d let you know
That I’m still alive
A song I put together as fast as I could so I could capture the mood I was in. It's essentially a story. It plays soft for some reason, sorry. for more go to www.myspace.com/fairfieldproject
I did this a while back one night after the bar. It's kind of just made up on the spot. Simple chords/picking. Done on a classical guitar, I believe I also used a capo that night.
