about
What You Mean To Me weaves hard-rock guitar riffs with a thumping rhythm section, reminiscent of Queens of the Stone Age and Green Day.
lyrics
You give yourself away
With every word you say
I know it’s not that late
To get it back this time
What you mean to me
Words they could not feel
We’ve blown it all away
Let’s get it back
You could be half a world away
I can’t say the things I want to say
And when it got to tough
I'm prone to mess it up
In cautious tones always
In fearful holding back
What you mean to me
Can’t someone help us out
To get it through to you
To get it through and
You could be half a world away
I can’t say the things I want to say
Green or blue, any shade will do
See right through the hazel in front of you
Pale or grey a different shade today
You can’t see what you mean to me
Like dreams you can’t recall
In Autumn or was it Fall?
A motion springing forth
To drop this cold recourse
I confess I’m not the man I was
Under grey dark rainy skies
Follow me to southern beaches
Help me find
You could be half a world away
I can’t say the things I want to say
Green or blue, any shade will do
See right through the hazel in front of you
Pale or grey a different shade today
You can’t see what you mean to me
