Story Behind The Song
Life experience, I've been married 20+ years.
Song Description
Looking back on the releationship, you can remember the good times, but you never understand how you got to the bad times. They just seem to crop up out of nowhere and you're blindsided. It takes maturity to step aside and take a look at the situation. You can't let the everyday stuff get in the way of your life with the people you love, but man it's real easy. Writing this song has helped me realize what's important, and what's rubish.

Lyrics
I remember leaving Galveston.
That's back when the two of us were one.
Those days seem like a blur to me now.
I wish there was a way we could get back to there somehow.
All I said is there was nothing wrong with you.
You said I was just as messed up too.
It didn't seem there was any more to say.
Cause you had your mind made up all the way.
I remember long ago,
When you came, you came my way
Everything was so simple then,
one day something changed.
This is not the way we planned.
Too let love go
Let love go and...
We let everyday get in the way
We let everyday get in the way
It's difficult when you try to figure out.
Why we feel there's nothing left to do but shout.
Contempt burns until everything is gone.
Fueled by anything it can get it's spitefull hands on.
I remember long ago,
When you came, you came my way
Everything was so simple then,
one day something changed.
This is not the way we planned.
Too let love go
Let love go and...
We let everyday get in the way
We let everyday get in the way
Family, freinds and work and neighbors.
Obligations never balance out.
We get up and go to work everyday trying to figure out what it's all about.
I remember leaving Galveston.
That's back when the two of us were one.
Those days seem like a blur to me now.
I wish there was a way we could get back to there somehow.
I remember long ago,
When you came, you came my way
Everything was so simple then,
one day something changed.
This is not the way we planned.
Too let love go
Let love go and...
We let everyday get in the way
We let everyday get in the way
We let everyday get in the way
We let everyday get in the way
We let everyday get in the way
We let everyday get in the way
