about

This song is about a friend who was still in love with his childhood sweetheart who has since moved to NYC to pursue broadway. You can write the ending...

lyrics

came to town to see you - catch your show and spend my money
came to buy a front row - but the box was boarded up, honey
how long have you been this way - working nights as a cocktail waitress
how the heck do you drive in this city - how the heck do you stand this winter

it's driving you - driving me - crazy
what do you want me to be - i am you - you are me
did you forget that

growing up in the country - you wanted yourself a piece of red carpet
stepping out a black limousine - i held you hand and we walked together
underneath that willow tree - i could never forget did you remember what you said

it's driving you - driving me - crazy
what do you want me to be - i am you - you are me
did you forget that
i am a forest of trees - falling down - bending over in your soft breeze
we're gonna stake our claim - mark it out - make it real and watch our heart swell

i still dream about you - you still dream now don't you
let me do you a favor - cos i'm a good lookin' man who can save ya
