about
This song is about having someone that pulls you out of your head - especially when you're getting crushed by the unrealistic standards you've set for yourself.
For me, that person is my wife. I wrote this song for her.
I slept for 40 years. I lived off thoughts of you and I until the fever broke. Chokehold philosophy; I never hoped outside the lines until you said my name.
Be someone, all I hear is “Be someone.” and all I see is you.
Fabric Catastrophe; I’ve counted sheep from months to years that swear they have no fold. My dear please lay your hand on me. You are the nerve by which I fight in every song I sing.
Be someone, all I hear is “Be someone.” and all I see is you.
When all feels lost, your lips pull the words from the page my love.
When all is lost you say, “There will be time, there will be time.”
