about

This song was based around 4 very simple chords, Am, Dm, F maj 7 and G . Started strumming on acoustic and the first couple of lines of lyrics were found and I was quite happy ! I think there's 3 drum tracks doing something. sequenced bass and live guitars ..Really enjoyed making this song...It's about having love for someone still, after a long time, even if the material life didn't happen the way it could have done .

lyrics

God knows why..
You and I are always in the mire.
There's not a lot around here to inspire..
Lives that stumble to the wire..
But you and me..
There's nowhere else that I would rather be.
Though I wish I'd been a better man for sure,
Wish that I could give you so much more..

As long as you know..
As long as you know..
They can't take the soul, won't take the soul,
As long as you know
And I won't let go..

You and me..
We never made it to the promised land,
A perfect life was never in our hands..
But I love you more than ever, Understand ?

As long as you know..
As long as you know..
They can't take the soul, won't take the soul,
As long as you know
And I won't let go
