Story Behind The Song
I took happy lyrics from an old song I never used & mixed them with some not-so-happy new ones to create what's really a song about moving on respectfully. I had a tough time with this one - I almost wanted it to be about the dynamics of a parent-child re

Lyrics
A DIFFERENT AGE
When you are gone
I cannot deal
The things you say just aren't true
I'd die for you
I thought you knew the way I feel
Can't you read my mind?
You could get inside but instead you'll leave it all behind
You know I think of you
When I'm thinking at all
If I'm thinking at all
Don't cry for me
I'll turn the page
You used to be someone I knew
We once were two
But wasn't that a different age?
Just go to sleep
Don't be afraid
Lay down your cheek & fade away
When you wake up
I won't be here
You'll be okay
And we'll dream again
We'll go to sleep at night & we'll dream again
I know I'll dream of you
If I'm sleeping at all
If we're sleeping at all
