From the recording Wounded
This is a rough demo one-take recording of George's first full original acoustic song written and recorded in 1999. Everything was recorded raw in the studio with one mic. It was never included on any
Lyrics
Self inflicted pressure is bearing down on me
I need your love a caring ear to help and set me free
Thinkin' 'bout those times we spent while sitting here alone
I've lost control, lost myself I want to grab the phone
But I can't, so I can, so I won't but I will
What has happened between us to make our love stand still
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's killing me, and I can't take it anymore, yeah
Can we find the I in we
We can make this work, you see
A love so hard but simple, surely cannot be
I've lost myself to her, I've lost myself - to thee - yeah
You said you need some time alone to find out what you need
You close and open like a door, sometimes I can't believe
That it seemed so different this time, yet happened just the same
Why can't we find our middle ground, this all seem so insane
It's easy, but so hard, we're together and apart
It seems the power of our force is too strong to control
Yeah, yeah, yeah - ooh yeah
It's killing me, and I can't take it anymore, yeah
Can we find the I in we
We can make this work, you see
A love so hard but simple, surely cannot be
I've lost myself to her, I've lost myself - to thee - yeah
(Vocal Solo)
Please tell me
What's real in our lives, what's the simple truth
It seems so clear to old age, but clouded in our youth
So much noise clouds our minds - let's stop and see the light
Hope you hear these words I say - wish you were here tonight
Yeah - oooh
Can we find the I in we
We can make this work, you see
A love so hard but simple, surely cannot be
I've lost myself to her, I've lost myself - to thee - yeah
I've lost myself to her, I've lost myself to thee
I've lost myself to her, I've lost myself to thee
I've lost myself to her, I've lost myself to thee
I've lost myself to her - I've lost myself - to thee
