lyrics
I've been running for so long
sometimes I forget where I've been,
and in the awkward silence
sometimes I forget where I now stand.
But there's a greater purpose
propelling me and pushing my back end.
Or is it just the wind?
Is it just the wind?
I've been looking all this time,
but for what? Or whom? Who knows?
And in the pressing silence
I learn that my eyes have just been closed.
But when they finally open
all I see are unfamiliar roads.
So let's not take it slow,
let's find out where this goes.
CHORUS:
Come on and ride with me
we'll find out together, ride out the weather and then
I don't know what we'll see
but my life is better when we're together it seems.
I'm not afraid to be alone,
I just don't wanna die this way
and in the crushing silence
I find I've got nothing left to say.
I've got nothing but a blank page
laughing in my face.
I would be your inspiration
if you would be my grace.
(Chorus)
BRIDGE:
One more day, and then I'm moving on–
leave my troubles right where they belong.
I'll be back someday, or maybe not
so take a shot, it's time we're gone.
It's been a rush I must admit,
a haze of days gone by without a care
and in the precious silence
I'll admit to you that I've been scared.
I'm so scared of wasting my time
floating through the air.
Our time was meant to share
and we've got none to spare.
(Chorus x3)
sometimes I forget where I've been,
and in the awkward silence
sometimes I forget where I now stand.
But there's a greater purpose
propelling me and pushing my back end.
Or is it just the wind?
Is it just the wind?
I've been looking all this time,
but for what? Or whom? Who knows?
And in the pressing silence
I learn that my eyes have just been closed.
But when they finally open
all I see are unfamiliar roads.
So let's not take it slow,
let's find out where this goes.
CHORUS:
Come on and ride with me
we'll find out together, ride out the weather and then
I don't know what we'll see
but my life is better when we're together it seems.
I'm not afraid to be alone,
I just don't wanna die this way
and in the crushing silence
I find I've got nothing left to say.
I've got nothing but a blank page
laughing in my face.
I would be your inspiration
if you would be my grace.
(Chorus)

a haze of days gone by without a care

I'll admit to you that I've been scared.
I'm so scared of wasting my time
floating through the air.
Our time was meant to share
and we've got none to spare.

about
Matthew Ebel Seattle, Washington
I call myself a piano rocker, but I’m really just kind of a goofball. I’ve been playing the piano since age 5, discovered electronic music at 12, and made this stuff my career in '99. Since then I’ve played the Grand Ole Opry, been quoted in Rolling Stone, and made a name for myself in new media. I’ve been playing piano rock full-time since 2007 and since then I’ve never looked back. ... more
