I wrote this track in the middle of 2021 when I was feeling lonely, isolated, and cut off from my friends.  I also heard a really cool riff in an anime intro and thought that I'd like to write a song with a vibe like that.

This song is about missing somebody that you feel very far away from.

(All guitars except one lead were performed by my friends Jake Schultz and James Kunau.  All other instruments were performed or programmed by me.  Mixed/Mastered by me.)

Lyrics:
What do I hear?
Sounds like you’re crying alone
Can I cry with you too?
What do I hear?
Seems like there’s no one around
And there’s nothing to do
Are you lonely?
I would hold you myself 
But I’m not even there
Wish I could be 
Then I’d tell you myself
What you really mean to me

I love you still
I know that I don’t say it enough
Like back when we were still young 
(So tell me)
I love you still
It doesn’t matter if we’re ever apart
You’ll always be in my heart
And I won’t let go

Feeling lonely
Just can’t handle the weight
And nothing’s the same
But you know me
I’m still doing okay
I can push it away
I’m so lonely
I’m a pain to myself
Cutting off any help
Do you hate me
Cuz now I’m spilling my guts again
So then?

I love you still
I know that I don’t say it enough
Like back when we were still young 
(So tell me)
I love you still
It doesn’t matter if we’re ever apart
You’ll always be in my heart
And I won’t let go

If I stare into the mirror
Will it bring you any closer to me?
If I press my face into the glass
Will I be able to see?
I would do anything to see you again
I miss you, my friend
I just want you to be
Right here
Right here
Again 

I love you still
I know that I don’t say it enough
Like back when we were still young 
(So tell me)
I love you still
It doesn’t matter if we’re ever apart
You’ll always be in my heart
And I won’t let go
I love you still
I know that I don’t say it enough
Like back when we were still young 
(So tell me)
I love you still
It doesn’t matter if we’re ever apart
You’ll always be in my heart
And I won’t let go
