This song is cryptic because there’s no way I’m laying out my worst experience in my life that haunts me still today in a public forum. As if this song is even about me! Even if you figure it out, it’s not like I wrote it about me because I didn’t. That’s right…this could be a fictional because it’s not me and I don’t even have to say that again. Look, just forget it…OK?! I turned the lights out in the studio when I recorded this to try to get it as dark as I could. But it’s not about me.
lyrics
I Belong To You
When you’re young you think your memories will fade away
But they follow and teach where you went wrong
Damn the surroundings and misinformation
That drives you to choose what you think is best
But never could be
Playin’ in the sunshine
Watchin’ all the birds fly
And the warmth upon your beautiful face
Where you are
And I can only decide when it’s all said and done
That you’ll be waiting…waiting, waiting to ask me why
You look just like your mother when she was younger
She cried the tears of confusion
She knew it just couldn’t be a happy place
You can run, you can play, you can color the page
With a smile that would last for days
And no one should take that away
Playin’ in the sunshine
Watchin’ all the birds fly
And the warmth upon your beautiful face
Where you are
And I can only decide when it’s all said and done
That you’ll be waiting…waiting, waiting to ask me why
(Cause) I Belong
I Belong To You
Follow the path of least resistance
It’ll tear you apart and leave you
Trying to explain it away
