Recorded in a barn on a Yamaha 4 track cassette unit from the 1980's. Rhythm tracks for guitar, bass, drums done in 1 take live. Overdubbed guitar solo and tambourine done 1 take. Vocals done in 1 or 2 takes. All overdubbing done with bouncing tracks on a 4 track cassette only, just to keep it "old school".Lyrics come from hard-earned experience and some direct quotes from ex-girlfriends.
Lyrics
- VERSE 1- We lie alone together with nothing left to say She was there within my reach but half a world away I tried to break the silence and thought I'd broken through She said "I don't know what I want, but I know that it's not you." -CHORUS- So here I am, alone again Another time to end up on the wrong side of the pain Here I am, alone again I always seem to end up on the wrong side of the pain -VERSE 2- Through all our time together, I fell in love I guess Well I was looking for something more, but she was looking for something less She told me love was nothing but a rollercoaster ride The ups and downs, and twists and turns, leave nothing but goodbyes -CHORUS- So here I am, alone again Another time to end up on the wrong side of the pain Here I am, alone again I always seem to end up on the wrong side of the pain - VERSE 3 - Packed up my broken dreams and headed down the road But carrying your emptiness is such a heavy load Chasing the horizon and trying to find the sun But every day is cold and gray So I stay on the run -REPEAT CHORUS TWICE- So here I am, alone again Another time to end up on the wrong side of the pain Here I am, alone again I always seem to end up on the wrong side of the pain
