Story Behind The Song

After a series of relationships in which I realized I had "settled" for things that went against my true nature, this song came to mind when I started thinking of a "questionaire" that would have been helpful prior to entering those ill-fated relationship

Song Description

A tasty melodic piano groove, syncopated with rich textured vocals and intertwined with clever verses asking simplistic, philisophical questions that make the listener ponder.

Lyrics

VERSE:
Do you know who you are,
underneath your skin?
Do you test the waters first,
or do you dive right in?

Do you like it like this?
Or do you like it like that?
Do you like it any way it comes,
or would you just send it back?

CHORUS:
I need to know the things for which you stand
cause I want to take you with me wherever I can
Don't betray the values of your life,
It's like losing your ticket for the
last train of the night.

VERSE:
If you were lost in the jungle
what would you do?
Would you stay and wait for help,
or would you try and find your own way through?

Walkin' down the street,
you see a dollar bill.
Would you walk on by, or justify,
that it's God's will?

CHORUS:
See I need to know the things for which you stand
cause I want to take you with me wherever I can
Don't betray the values of your life,
It's like losing your ticket for the
last train of the night.

VERSE:
Do you know who you are,
underneath your skin?
Do you stand and watch the party,
or try and mix right in?

Do you know what you want
in this life?
Do you seize the day,
or go with the flow of the night?

CHORUS:
I need to know the things for which you stand
cause I want to take you with me wherever I can
Don't betray the values of your life,
It's like losing your ticket for the
last train of the night.

REPEAT CHORUS, AND END.
