C.C. brought this beautiful song into the band, then Rikki and Bobby added their magic to it. As for the lyrics, I wrote them about a girlfriend of C.C.'s who was shot and killed in a bar fight in Palm Springs, CA. C.C. was really hurting inside, espically after the loss of Kimo, our security guard, who also passed away in Palm Springs. This song is about trying to find the light at the end of the tunnel, which at the time seemed very dim.

I felt this before. Now I feel it again. No matter how hard I try, This feeling won't end.
So I pretend you're here by my side, Tonight on this lonely ride. I keep telling myself that,
Chorus: Life goes on while you're miles away, And I need you. Time goes on as night steals the day, There's nothing I can do.
You heal up my wounds, I tasted your tears. You spilled out your heart, So I let out my fears.
But one fear that I kept to myself, Was how I prayed that you'd love no one else, Like you're saying you love me.
Chorus
If you only knew how much I miss you.
Solo
When my mind plays these tricks on me, It shows me things I don't want to see. That's why I tell myself, I keep telling myself, Just take another piece of me.
Chorus
And this last mile I travel with you.
