.:Welcome Back:.


We've all been burned in a relationship, and we all react differently. Welcome Back is a song about the first good relationship to come after a painful break-up. I'm sure we all deal with things differently, but when I was hurt, I responded by trying to keep myself from opening up; this song is about letting your guard down and feeling good about it. The first two verses are based on the beginning of an actual relationship (sort of, long story), while from the first chorus on, this song is pure imagination and expansion.

Welcome Back and Dance share the same person for inspiration, this one being written first. If you read the description of Dance, you see what I mean by "sort of".


in bright and cold november skies
i welcome back the butterflies
that lived so far away

through beads your hands the sweetest smiles
i welcome back the purest times
it feels like yesterday

i'll throw away what i can't let go
just so i can hold you close
i'll turn away what i can't ignore
to remember love and let it show

in cool crisp air and april nights
i welcome back god's smiling lights
that seemed so far away

your eyes your hair they fuel my dreams
i welcome back the softest sleep
nights fit for perfect days

i'll throw away what i can't let go
just so i can hold you close
i'll turn away what i can't ignore
to remember love and let it show

i'll throw away what i can't let go
just so i can hold you close
i'll turn away what i can't ignore
to remember love and let it show

forget the world when i'm with you
oh thats one thing i could never do
watch it sail away
im more than me when i'm with you
all the things i could never do
watch them fade away

as we grow and make memories
i welcome back the summer breeze
the time it fades away

your love it makes a man of me
i welcome back serenity
soft sweet from flawless grace

i'll throw away what i can't let go
just so i can hold you close
i'll turn away what i can't ignore
to remember love and let it show

i'll throw away what i can't let go
just so i can hold you close
i'll turn away what i can't ignore
to remember love and let it show
