.:Why:.
At the time I wrote this song, I was very saddened by the growing jadedness of someone I had a lot of respect for. He had this attitude that he had the whole world figured out, there was nothing left to learn, nothing left to do, see, or hear. In hindsight, I think I mistook depression for arrogance, but in a sense, that explains the sad feeling this song gives me. I get a very acoustic-depressed-country vibe from it. Anyhow, it seems that instead of actually lending my friend a hand, I wrote a song about how sad it made ME feel :P - hurray for being a teenager. And I should add that the line, "I've got the keys to someone else's life" is one I've used and re-used in songs over the years - I believe this song to be its first use, though its actual origin comes from a sad, empty night I spent in my apartment at the end of Grade 12.
