about

This is a song, simply, for friends. It has my favorite sort of "pop feel:" bouncy, where you find yourself nodding your head and tapping your foot. (When I do a pro recording of this I'll definitely add chunky piano!)

lyrics

How can I describe to you an overflowing heart?
A bittersweet fool without a clue where he should start
Or maybe this heart's already speaking for itself
'Cause it's on my sleeve and never has been anywhere else
And the heart of the matter is that you really matter to my heart

Oh, my friends I needed you
When my heart was torn in two
All your faces swirl 'round me
And fill the spaces in my memory

And I can't remember all you've said or all you've done
But I can still hear your voices, clear as noonday sun
I know just the way it feels to look into your eyes
And see such a warmth that always takes me by surprise
And all of your sweetness has become a true presence in my heart

Which often seems like a dream
With all the years in between
My Lord, has it really been so long
Since I was running around
The world, my playground
An oblivious kid who had to sing this song:

I'm just a boy in the woods
Who never could find his way back home
Without you taking my hand
'Cause you understand I'd never make it alone

Oh, my sweet, sweet friends I needed you, I needed you
When my bleeding heart was torn in two
All your lovely faces are always swirling 'round me
And filling all the spaces in my fading memory
