about

I wrote this song after I imagined a guy sitting in front of his TV, watching a video of a girl that just dumped him. The video was getting worn from all the times he has played it. In the video, she blows him a kiss and walks away. He keeps hoping that the next time he plays it, she stays.

I guess the song works because I won a national songwriting contest and got to remix it with legendary producer Michal Lloyd...Pretty cool, huh?

lyrics

I am alone
Sitting on the couch, I keep on playing this worn out video
And she’s the Star
With eyes that melt your soul, they keep on saying
“I know who you are”

Her face is sunshine for the day
But in the final scene the blue sky fades to gray

She walks away
And breaks my heart
Every time I press rewind and play this movie from the start
I’m pretending there’s an ending where she decides to stay
But, she walks away

Nowhere to go
Stuck inside my head, there’s no escaping. But you’ll go very far
And there you go
Off the see the world and when you get there
They’ll know who you are

My friends can help me day to day
But they don’t understand I’ll never be O.K.

She walks away
And breaks my heart
Every time I press rewind and play this movie from the start
I’m pretending there’s an ending where she decides to stay
But, she walks away

I guess there’s nothing more to say
So I’ll keep watching her until my dying day


She walks away
And breaks my heart
Every time I press rewind and play this movie from the start
I’m pretending there’s an ending where she decides to stay
But, she walks away
And breaks my heart
Every time I press rewind and play this movie from the start
I’m pretending there’s an ending where she decides to stay
But, she walks away
Yeah, she walks away
