Close Window Identify (I don't write many love songs, so when I do, I try to tell a different take on the usual story. This song is about two people who just sort of miss each other. Maybe not high concept, but for me, interesting grounds for exploring a dialogue between the pair and how each experiences the "what might have been" of their interaction.) I didn't think you'd stay So I'm glad to see you now at the break of day Last night it seemed like just a fling But maybe there's more to you and me than A passing thing First there was a meeting of the eyes A casual hello and then a quick goodbye Then one day we breathed each other's air You lingered on my skin I caught the smell of your hair And we don't need to justify Or answer questions about who and why, we just feel The one thing that I know is what I think about you And that's the only thing that is real Because I'm finding my way back home To the place where I know right from wrong Crossin' the endless divide Tryin' to identify the love of my life Yes it is a mutual thing When I see your face it makes my heart sing But I get confused with sorting out The pull that you exert from the other ones about And I feel I need to justify And answer questions about who and why I feel pressured But I just want to take my time Not stumble into something blind Cause I deserve the one who is right (Chorus) You got to identify The one who makes you feel alive You got to identify The person you need to get by I was hoping you'd stay But I understand if now you have to go away And maybe I'm not the one for you But forever I'll treasure this time As that's all that I can do Cause each of us must realize Who is right for our lives we must choose So sometimes when the timing's off With one in love but the other's lost There is sadness, but that's the daily news When you are finding your way back home To the place where you know right from wrong Crossin' the endless divide Tryin' to identify the love of your life Kiyoshi Graves ©2006 Hideko Music Close Window
