Die Every Day

I started writing this on Sunday I think. Sometimes I write songs with ideas for it in mind. Other times they just come up and I kind of have to follow them. I literally feel as though I am being pulled around on a leash by the song. That's kind of what happened with this. I just started writing and there were different directions that I thought the song should go, but it wouldn't let me. I had to follow the way it was taking me.

The song ends abruptly - yes I know. I did that on purpose. It was not a mistake. I just felt like that's how it should end. There were two different endings that I thought the song should have. One of them included more singing and then a nice ending. The other was this ending. The other ending was the safer ending - the one that would have been more widely accepted by the public. I completely decided against the traditional ending, strictly because I was more comfortable with it. Sometimes I do it that way.

The chorus of the song is for my wife. I would die every day to be with her if that's what life required. She's my world and I'm mad about her. Love you babe!

If I tried to break the sun to pieces
I’d find happiness within the dark
I’d accept the fact that I’m defeated
And I’ve known that from the start

If I tried to swim the deepest ocean
I know that I couldn’t go alone
I’d be fine just going through the motions
But I’d feel it in my bones
Without you I can’t go home

It’s all on the wire
This love for you
I’m burning a fire I can’t undo
I’ll dig through the rubble
To pull you through
Time and time again I’ll come for you
I’d die every day to be with you

More than once I’ve battled things I can’t see
I’ve got scars with stories of their own
I see things in you that you cannot see in me
All I want is you ‘cause you’re my home
You and I can have things we don’t know

It’s all on the wire
This love for you
I’m burning a fire
I can’t undo
I’ll dig through the rubble
To pull you through
Time and time again I’ll come for you
I’d die every day to be with you
