about

This song is about about falling madly, deeply, perfectly in love, and then all of the rest.

lyrics

When I met you, I tried not to stare,
but I’d seen you somewhere in my dreams.
Your silhouette attracted my gaze,
enchanted my days, I was lost.

But you don’t know what you got,
no you don’t know what you got, till it’s gone.

When summer came we laid on the sand,
you held out your hand, we were gone.
Your lips, your eyes, the sun on your skin,
where do I begin? I’m in love!

But you don’t know what you got,
no you don’t know what you got, till it’s gone.

It seems our souls are tethered to a dream.
Two birds of a feather flying fearlessly.

Under starless skies I lie here alone,
I wait by the phone for your call.
If only I could hold you tonight,
you’d cancel your flight after all.

‘Cause you don’t know what you got,
no you don’t know what you got, till it’s gone.

You wonder why my heart broke in two,
my sky turned from blue into black.
Your memory seems to have failed,
our train has derailed from the track.

‘Cause you don’t know what you got,
no you won’t know what you got, till I’m gone.

Don’t want to keep you tethered to my dream.
Two birds of a feather flying separately.

Jeff Troiano San Francisco, California

Jeff Troiano was born in rusty old Youngstown, Ohio, back in the Olden Days. He ran through cornfields, threw stones and dreamed of better television reception. He lived in Venezuela as a teen where he became infused with Magic Realism, which has served him well. Jeff now lives in San Francisco where he dreams of pop stardom and putting his daughter through college. Lots to think about. ... more
