Story Behind The Song
My wife and I were going through a very rough patch in our relationship. I was inspired to write this song out of the need to express my feelings about the situation, which I could not express to my wife. So, I wrote this very personal song about our struggles.
Song Description

Lyrics
Chorus:
I need the best of you now, and still the rest of you now x 2
Verse 1:
You and I are becoming two satellites, orbiting in the same skies. We're basking in the same light.
Chorus:
I need the best of you now, and still the rest of you now x 2.
That'w when I needed you most, that's when I needed you close. You're what I needed the most of all.
Verse 2:
You and I are restoring to empty lives. Hello again to my love, my best friend.
Chorus:
I need the best of you now, and still the rest of you now x 2.
That'w when I needed you most, that's when I needed you close. You're what I needed the most of all.
Bridge:
It looks like, in this life. We'll just survive. x 2
Chorus:
I need the best of you now, and still the rest of you now x 2.
