Songs I wrote

A little while back

I wrote most of This song about a year ago but I've only recently came up with the bridge. This song has a scenario to go with it. It's not real events, but it's what I imagined when writing this song. It's about a very old lady, in hospital, reflecting on the time she spent with her husband before he died a long time ago. You don't have to see the song like this of course, it's just how I see it.

A little while back

I was feeling kind of sad

Because I loved someone

Who I thought would never love me back

But a little while later

I found that I was wrong

Because he loved me so

More than anything or anyone

And I was happy

And he was happy (I think)

A little while back

I was with him in the forest

He was teaching me 

How to catch a fish by hand

I remember asking him why

He's spending time with me and not the others

 "Because I like you."

 He said, "Because I like you ~"

 And we ran and we ran and we ran and we ran from our troubles

And we ran and we ran and we ran and we ran a long way away from home

And we ran and we ran and we ran and we ran until we were out of breath

And we were happy...a little while back

A little while back 

We were standing at the station

My eyes were flooding

And my hand, coiled in his shirt

He was holding me

As he told me not to cry

 "Because I love you."

 He said, "Because I need you to be alright."

 And we ran and we ran and we ran and we ran from our troubles

And we ran and we ran and we ran and we ran a long way away from home

And we ran and we ran and we ran and we ran until we were out of breath

And we were happy...A little while back

And every time he left he would return

And every time I broke he'd make me better

And every time it poured we'd watch the raindrops go pitter patter on the windowsill.

And we thought it would last forever.

And we ran and we ran and we ran and we ran from our troubles

And we ran and we ran and we ran and we ran a long way away from home

And we ran and we ran and we ran and we ran until we were out of breath

And we were happy... A little while back

Then I open up my eyes and look around me

Everything is going black

It all happened so much more

Than a little while back 

(a little while later)
