How Could I? Lyrics
memories and silence fills each room
overwhelming heavy as the tidal waves consume
buried underneath the dust & gloom
relics are reminders of my family of two
pictures of a happy bride and groom
ferry rides around the harbor on our honeymoon
wedding gifts of pots and pans
sleeping while were holding hands
as gracie lays upon us as we spoon
how could i ever be so blind that i could not see
how could i ever stray from what has meant so much to me
how could i ever gain her trust without the guarantees
of who i am or where i'll be
so now we live in fear of the unknown
insecure and skepticle her trust in me was blown
despite the past we face we both have grown
through the pain to find the strength together or alone
how could i ever be so blind that i could not see
how could i ever stray from what has meant so much to me
how could i ever gain her trust without the guarantees
of who i am or where i'll be
how could i ever be so blind that i could not see
how could i ever stray from what has meant so much to me
how could i ever gain her trust without the guarantees
of who i am or where i'll be
I got an e-mail from Thomas Flowers about this song, and predictably, it's about his failed first marriage.
Great song
this is a GOOD song although the meaning is obvious its still a sad song!
oleander is the only band that i know of that can make ballads that i love more than the rocking songs. yet another reason why they (should) rule the world.
This is an AWESOME song!!!! It's definitely about divorce, but can be interpreted in other ways, all of which are very powerful.
Best Oleander song no doubt
It's a song of a once happily married couple. Caring and trusting with the blessings of a child as well. But as time goes on we grow, some together, some apart and some grow curious again. He let's in to his curiosities and cheats on his wife. Afterwards he regrets what he has done as by doing so he risked loosing everything he realizes he loves, his wife and daughter(whom I am guessing Gracie is unless it's a pet) He has blown the trust the had between them and wonders if that trust could ever be repaired when there is no longer any guarantee he could be faithful since he broke that bond. Once was enough to damage what he was blind to seeing he already had and now may never have again, though they are trying.. now he sits in sorrow as he thinks of all the moments he cherished with his family that he so carelessly through away, even if it was just for a moment....thinking how could he have been so blind not to see what he was risking, only now seeing.... Everything he loved he already had.
