There are many times in our lives that something leaves us before we’re ready to see it go. Leaving a gaping hole in its wake, we’re resigned to sit and wait and pray it will glide its way back through this town and one day Come Around.
Below is a video discussion of the behind-the-scenes background of Come Around, track #6 on my new album Another Gleam — a revealing look at the inspirations, the meanings behind the song, the songwriting process, the recording experience and much more. Enjoy.
COME AROUND
by tyler stenson © 2008
I hope some day,
In a better time and place,
That someone in your life
Will lift you up.
I hope someday,
In the sunlight’s softest rays,
That you will glide your way
Back through this town
And I hope someday you come around.
I hope some day,
On this side of the waves,
That you will say,
This is the perfect place.
And I hope some day,
Before you fully go away,
That you will find some
Patience in the Proud
And I hope someday you come around.
Everywhere I go,
I know I’ve been going about it all wrong.
It’s in the palm of her hand-
It’s the promise land-
But everywhere I stand
It feels like the sunlight
Is falling down on another.
I hope someday
You’ll slow down enough to say,
You’re all I think about-
Cause you’re all I think about.
I hope someday,
By some Amazing Grace
That all this time spent spinning will slow down
And I hope someday you come around.
