Story Behind The Song
My friend had passed away years and years before but there was something following me around. I wrote this song and felt as if there was closure afterward. It was a song written in her memory.
Song Description
This song is all about feeling lonely for someone who is no longer around. The feelings of needing to move on are so difficult because one feels as if they're ungrateful in a way.

Lyrics
Woke up this morning with my head in my hands and my sandy eyes. Poured myself some coffee, faded off to bed, never get ahead.
Chorus: And when I hear you call my name. Well I fear that my life will never be the same. And when I hear you call my name, well I'll be okay again.
Verse: Living changed back when you said goodbye, I didn't want to cry. Memories of who I was when you were around just get me down.
And when my thoughts are of you I feel I'm living in the past. All the traits I've borrowed from you, seem to be real at last.
Chorus: And when I hear you call my name. Well I fear that my life will never be the same. And when I hear you call my name, well I'll be okay again.
Woke up this morning with my head in my hands and my sandy eyes.
