I wrote this song after breaking up with my girlfriend due to moving overseas, subsequently meeting someone who I thought was wonderful, and considering whether or not to pursue anything romantically. Is the hurt from the last breakup still too fresh? Do I need to learn to be on my own again before pursuing this? Is my heart just trying to fill a void with this person? Listen to this track, young Padawan, and absolutely none of these questions will be answered.
lyrics
She hit me like summer rain
So sudden and heavy
I was caught in the downpour
And it soaked me to the skin
She hit me like a freight train
Never saw it comin’
But I knew it was wrong,
And now she got me runnin’
Pre-chorus:
Maybe I fall too easy
And maybe I fall too fast
And maybe I do, or maybe I don’t
And maybe I will or I won’t
Chorus:
But maybe I
I just don’t know how to be on my own
Time rolls by
And my restlessness it only grows
And late at night
Maybe I just need somebody to hold
Oh, won’t somebody teach me
How the hell to be alone?
Is it wrong for me to feel wrong
When I got nobody to miss?
I thought that I was stronger,
Stronger than to feel like this
And I don’t know if I need her
Or just somebody new
To fill the hole in my soul,
That used to be filled by you
