about

Probably the last song of 2014. Its a electro pop tune about the transformative power of love.

lyrics

i used to be impulsive
obsessively compulsive
but now i get convulsive
whenever i am forced make up my mind
its as if I've become deaf dumb and blind

No satisfaction
from the same old pursuits
if there's attraction
the point of its moot
the fear of pleasure has become too acute
its clearly far too dangerous to fall
it is much safer not to chance it at all

will I ever become the man
that everybody thinks that I can
its not that i don't have a plan
it just that things go aft agley.

my evolution has slowly revealed
the convolution of my precious ideals
no absolution or at least so it feels
Its too late there's no turning back
it won't be long until it all fades to black

I think I can be the man
that everybody thinks that I can
its not that i don't have a plan
it just that things go aft agley.
I need you to understand that
if you would give me your hand
I'd have the bravery to stand
and strength enough to turn the tide.

the waters rising now almost past my head
soon i'm gonna drown in all the tears that i have shed

There is a favor that i'd like to ask
I need a savior and I need it fast
can you forgive me and the sins of my past
Its all about as simple as this
without your love i'll be lost in the abyss

I know I can be the man
that everybody thinks that I can
its not that i don't have a plan
it just that things go aft agley.
I need you to understand that
if you would give me your hand
I'd have the bravery to stand
and strength enough to turn the tide.

I know I'll become the man
that everybody thinks that I can
its not that i don't have a plan
it just that things go aft agley.
I need you to understand that
if you would give me your hand
I'd have the bravery to stand
and strength enough to turn the tide.
