about

i found out i was just a city over from my very first ex that i hadn't spoken to in years and who's heart i broke and i felt so bad for it. i kept thinking, what if i went to the city where they lived, how close would we come to passing each other by? would i walk by them, could i possibly ask them to get coffee and just catch up, i don't even know where they are in that big old city. what if we were out at the same time, walking in opposite directions, but i miss them by a few streets, or of all places to be in this country, just a mile?

lyrics

hey i know
it's been a while now
are you even awake this time of day
it's 6 am
just wanna say
i can meet you there
i'll be standing here on oxford street
i've been scared to call so i let all this time pass
isn't four years long enough to awaken the past

i wanna know are you better now
cause i hurt you and i swear i didn't mean to let you down
i would drive right through the night just to see you smile
if you'll see me again i'm afraid i'll miss you by a mile

i deleted the pictures
banished without a trace
i've been thinking lately i really need to see your face
cause a lot has changed hasn't it
just a phone call away and i'm scared of it
and it's time to know if i'll only ever be your ghost

i wanna know are you better now
cause i hurt you and i swear i didn't mean to let you down
i would drive right through the night just to see you smile
if you'll see me again i'm afraid i'll miss you by a mile

i don't know how to tell you
i'm sorry for the pain i caused
we were kids back then mourning for the love we lost
but we're different now
and so much has changed
i wish i could see you now and ask about your day

i wanna know are you better now
cause i hurt you and i swear i didn't mean to let you down
i would drive right through the night just to see you smile
if you'll see me again i'm afraid i'll miss you by a mile

Eileen is willing to bet she’s the best damn acoustic-pop-female-singer-songwriter in Chicago. She plays the piano, guitar, and ukelele, and tries her best with electronic pads. Lately, she’s been carving out her sound, writing sad songs that sound happy, and pondering existence as we know it. She has three EPs and is about to release her first full-length album “Small Love” on August 7th 2020 ... more
