This is the most recent T&A recording. We have a lot of unrecorded stuff - hopefully we'll be able to record versions of it all sometime soon, before we're old and grey and can't remember it all. :-) This one's about a guy who likes this girl, but she doesn't share his feelings. She knows he likes her but doesn't want him to tell her, but he does anyway, to disastrous results. Anybody who knows me from high school knows the story behind this one. I've had the lyrics around for awhile - Aaron finally had the music to fit it. This was recorded on some newer equipment than The White Album, so the production quality's a bit higher. My voice sounds weird, though, and I'm still not happy with the harmonies. Anyway...

Requiem for Romance
lyrics: tyler butler | music: aaron whiting

I'll save a place for you
I hope that one day you
Will realize that me and you
We're meant to be

I'll keep my eyes peeled for you
And I will pray for you
Hoping that one day you will see

I did all the things that a man should do
and I was always there for you
And we have been the best of friends
But I didn't want that to be where it ends

And I didn't ask you what you wanted me to say
And I didn't listen when you told me anyway
You said that I should remain silent
You said that friendship was all that there could be

But I took a chance, I took the plunge
Knowing that all we had could come undone
And now I face you every day
Knowing that you don't look at me in the same way
