Story Behind The Song
Long drives always help me think - especially at night. And I've made a fair share of dumb mistakes in my time to mull over on those drives. So I simply decided to set a familiar experience to music.
Song Description
Taking a late-night drive to help me think. Trying to figure out why I was so careless with such a good relationship, and hoping there's a way I can make things right again.

Lyrics
Amber Eyes
by: Andrew Dasani
Verse I
It?s three o?clock in the morning
It?s warm outside
It?s time to do a little thinking,
Time to take a little drive
The moon?s half empty
It?s a mirror of my life.
It?s been a long, hot summer
It?s been a long, hard year
I?ve got my feet on the throttle
But I just can?t seem to steer
Chorus
There was a time when I was knowing
you?d take me there
Intoxicated by the sweetness of your lips,
Your long black hair
To gaze again into your amber eyes,
I?d go anywhere
Verse II
So now I?m moving on the highway
Stars passing by
I know I?ve made a few mistakes
But, baby there?s no need to cry
You know I never meant to hurt you
So dry those amber eyes
Verse III
The stars are fading into morning
And it hits me without warning
That I might not see your amber eyes again
I?ve found myself here at the ocean,
And I?m hoping that you?re open
To the notion that I?ve changed.
