about

Every guy has that girl that he is going for. Well, this song is about a girl who I was chasing in my junior year of high school. To make the story short, I got her ;)

This song was written over a period of roughly a year and a half. The keyboard player, Matthew Richards, had the music, various lyrics and love songs sung by our original drummer. Eventually he finalized a set of lyrics, and Sean Hill worked out new drum parts, and his brother Erik Hill wrote guitar lines based off the Matt's part. Jack Singer then meticulously crafted bass lines by his own accord and with some suggestions from the rest of the band. Eventually, Eric Segerstrom amped up the drum parts with his mighty prowess and Sean and Erik re-arranged the guitar to work in two parts. Fin.

lyrics

You haven't missed your opportunity
Don't call it quits and lock the door
Your mind's a step away from tragedy
Unless you follow that girl

It seems sometimes I've been locked inside someone else's mind
Like I haven't been here before
'Cause my heart cries for the one I wanna call mine
And for nothing more

I believe in a thing I can't see
I believe in a thing I can't hold
I believe in time, I will have that girl

Lose track of time and you soon will find
you'll be living in a life you don't wanna live
You should have engraved in your mind that
soon in time to be with her you'll have to take a risk

It seems sometimes I've been locked inside someone else's mind
Like I haven't been here before
'Cause my heart cries for the one I wanna call mine
And for nothing more

I believe in a thing I can't see
I believe in a thing I can't hold
I believe in time, I will have that girl
