I know How the Story Goes (I'll Come Back Again)

I Know How the Story Goes (I’ll Come Back Again)

Verse 1

The blur of the road seems to cover ground quicker

Than what I thought it would

These tears fill this cup to the brim to tell

How these feelings are held to with…stand

Bridge

So much to lose in a small town but I

Can’t help but wonder what we can…be

Chorus

Shades of grey cover my vision

A loss of depth perception

We seek we find another heart stays in mind

But a spring of color tells a story

Of hope inside two hearts we find alive tonight.

Verse 2

This reflection of love laughs at me misery knows my pain well

Hands down this covers our lies tonight

And I find it hard to breathe when worked up with this feeling

Will you take your eyes and calm this storm inside

Ending

And I know the story started off sad but that doesn’t mean it has to end that way

A new sun will rise to the east I’ll come back again

Commentary: This is actually a love song I wrote when I was in high school. I was only a sophomore and quite confused about what love really was, as I am still today. The time period of the song was during a pivotal and transitional moment in my life. I was moving away to West Virginia and I was going to have to leave my girlfriend behind. We told each other we would try to make it work and so I wrote a song about how time passes us by. It really is a sad song. I think there is also a lot of confusion in the song. I really didn’t know what to feel about the girl. So many different emotions worked me up inside so in the song when I say “will you take your eyes and calm this storm inside” I was trying to look to her for comfort. But in the midst of all this depression I put a sense of hope in the ending. I wanted there to be some happiness in the song that would motivate both parties.

Needless to say I never had the guts to sing the song to the girl before I left. Two weeks passes after moving when I finally returned to make a visit. We broke up the last night I was there. The girl never heard the song. But sometimes when I see her picture in old memories and yearbooks I still think about making a quick visit and singing the song to her…..but I never do. Time moves on I guess.
