For this week’s Musical Monday, we’ll head back in time 11.5 years. Back in high school, I wrote music under the name “So Long Sanity”, and even though I didn’t record the majority of my music, I still collected every 10-12 songs that I wrote into an album, complete with cover art. This song was on my 6th album, titled “Brain Food”. I had actually forgotten that this song existed, because I never wrote it down anywhere. It wasn’t until I decided to dub my old cassette tapes onto the computer a few years ago that I “rediscovered” it.

lyrics:
I try and try
To leave the past behind
But it’s becoming so hard now
To put you from my mind‘Cause I can’t give you up so easily
I can’t let you slip away
You’re so much more to meCHORUS:
I wanna hold your hand
I want you to hold me
I wanna feel your love
Raining down upon me
Oh can’t you understand?
I want to make you see
Your love means so much more
Than anything to meI cried and cried
The night we broke apart
But forever and a day
You’ll hold a place inside my heart‘Cause I can’t give you up so easily
I can’t let you slip away
You’re so much more to meCHORUS
And every night
As lonely nights can be
I think about all that we’ve been
And what I’d like to be
You mean so much to meThat I can’t give you up so easily
I can’t let you slip away
You’re so much more to meCHORUS (x2)
