Story Behind The Song
One of the first songs I recorded with my friend Mike. Song came about from hearing the tune from Kylie's 'I can't get you out of my head' in some of the chords I was playing. This inspired an idea for a kind of love in denial theme.
Song Description
She knows she has feelings but she pushes them away. He is always in her thoughts and her dreams but she will not let her emotions show. At the end we realise that she has had her heartbroken before and that this is why she will never love again.

Lyrics
Hover
There's more to this than meets the eye And words we've never said
It feels like its insanity
Your voice is in my head and I
Stare a little deeper
When my words make little sense
If I've broken any rule I've little left in my defence
But I'm not in love
Not in love
But I'm walking in the rain alone
And trying to pretend
I'm lying through my teeth
But I'm trying to make amends
So I push away your picture
As it comes into my view
But it's easier said than done
When you're heart is left to choose
But I'm not in love
Not in love
But you hover in my dreams
Hover in my nights
Hover in my day
But darling You hover out of reach
You hover out of sight
You just up and fly away
But you'll never know how hard it's been
I will deny every little thing
And all I'll ever say is
I'm not in love
I've done nothing I'm ashamed of
It isn't written in my face
I'm not ready to confess a thing
No time no day no place
My words are next to useless they're like paper in the rain
Don't misunderstand my silences
You've nothing else to gain
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
He came from somewhere south of here
A hundred lovers past
He had a stillness in his eyes
and a hardness in his heart
I was in a different place back then
A girl you wouldn't know
When I said I'd give it all to him
He whispered soft and low
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
But you hover in my dreams
Hover in my nights
Hover in my day
But darling You hover out of reach
You hover out of sight
You just up and fly away
But you'll never know how hard it's been
I will deny every little thing
And all I'll ever say is
I'm not in love
Not in love with you
Not in love with you
Not in love with you
Not in love with you
Do be do be do etc
