Picture yourself living in a very cold place. It’s the middle of winter, you’re stuck in a bad relationship and you can’t help dreaming about being free and running on a tropical beach. You look out the window. It’s snowing but the car is in the driveway ready to go. You have a decision to make.

LYRICS: DON’T KNOW IF I’LL WAIT FOR YOU
Gray sky in the morning, silent song
Car waits in the driveway, day is wrong
Still life, snow light, no time, not right
Am I here? Have I gone?
All we do, is play along
Don’t know if I’ll wait for you, Don’t know if I’ll wait for you
Don’t know if I’ll wait for you, Don’t know if I’ll wait
Dreams die all around us, day and night
Lips missed in the moonlight, out of sight
Come apart, drift away, now our words, are in the way
Pull me in, drive me out
Know your heart is full of doubt
Don’t know if I’ll wait for you, Don’t know if I’ll wait for you
Don’t know if I’ll wait for you, Don’t know if I’ll wait
All I want, all I need, is here today, guaranteed
What you want, what you need, waits for time, to proceed
Sun comes to the playa, gold and warm
Light floats over water, sweet free form
Far away, breezes blow, in my dreams, feelings flow
In your heart, holding back
All this talk, all these plans,
More than my poor heart can stand
Don’t know if I’ll wait for you, Don’t know if I’ll wait for you
Don’t know if I’ll wait for you, Don’t know if I’ll wait
Don’t know if I’ll wait for you, Don’t know if I’ll wait for you
Don’t know if I’ll wait for you, Can’t wait
