From the recording Tragic Romantic

I recorded this song with just me playing my acoustic guitar and singing, then I add some background vocals. I like to leave songs bare like this every now and again. This song was begging to be left bare to match the bare feelings of vulnerability expressed in the song, a confession of sorts

Lyrics

CHORUS:
Why can't I, why can't I be the one to feel your arms around my heart? Why can't I, why can't I be the one to feel, feel your love?

All I see is you my dream
with someone who is so lucky
Does she know, does she see what you mean to me?

CHORUS

Know how I feel before you leave
I can see that you're happy
Maybe you wouldn't be as happy with me

CHORUS

Every night I dream (I dream) up my own fantasy (fantasy)
starring you and me (x2)

CHORUS
