Story Behind The Song
This song was inspired by a friend of mine who fell in love with her best friend. She swore that this girl loved her back, but she did not love her in the same way. She felt deceived, alone, and hurt. She wrote some of her feelings down on a piece of paper and told me to do what I wanted with it. So I added/changed the words and the music came to me miraculously, and fit the mood perfectly. Thus, Moments was born.

Lyrics
Moments
Oh...
I measure time in moments
I'm drowning in this moment
I measure time in moments
I'm drowning in this moment
Your mask it tears me away
it tears me away
Your distance tears me away
it tears me away
The lights they float across the floor
if we try to move we will fall
it tears me away
it tears me away
Oh...
I measure life in moments
we're living in this moment
I need you in this moment
I'm dying in this moment
Your mask it tears me away
it tears me away
Your distance tears me away
it tears me away
The veins string around your heart
you change your faith in the dark
it tears me away
it tears me away
The lights they float across the floor
the beat crashes your rhythm
it tears me away
it tears me away
Oh...
Oh...
