about

this is another angsty, unrequited love song about a former boyfriend of mine. this song captures the tumultuous relationship i had with him, but also gives space for the tender moments we shared, with a refrain of “i’m still here” weaved throughout the song.

lyrics

if i said the wrong thing to you
it’s because i was running a little short on words
and now it appears that i am loosing you
to this war
‘tween your dad and mine
‘tween your dad and mine

i hope you’re alright tonight
and you’re making good time
on the road, of your life
i’m sorry i’m not there with you
but i am here, nonetheless
i am here, nonetheless

and i know that our moms would have
so much to share
‘bout how alone
our dads
left them

so this is my lullaby
calling you back to my arms
maybe i will forgive you
for being who you might be
but promises are getting hard to keep
especially now that the world
is poising for a war
the world is poising for a war
and i’m needed on the front lines of peace
baby i am needed on the front lines of peace

i hope you’re alright tonight
and you’re making good time
on the road, of your life
i’m sorry i’m not there with you
but i am here, nonetheless
i am here, nonetheless
