Alone (I Wish)

(Izzy Douma)

In my late Sophomore year of high school, I was forced to move away from the friends that were important to me. After facing the realization that I would be leaving for good, it dawned upon me that I never appreciated those friends enough. I spent my time there dealing with insecurity and fear of getting close to them. "Alone" focuses on my feelings for one friend in particular who I was always too afraid to talk to (mostly because he was popular) and the longing to see him again.

If I could stay, I would If I could see your face, I would If I could slow time, I would But I can’t I wish I could’ve smiled at you more I wish I could say there’s something in store I wish I could’ve overcame my fear and talked to you But life is pulling me away And I want to run to you But there’s nothing I can do But dream of us alone If I could run, I would If I could hide, I would If I could wait for you, I would But I can’t I wish I could’ve smiled at you more I wish I could say there’s something in store I wish I could’ve overcame my fear and talked to you But life is pulling me away And I want to run to you But there’s nothing I can do But dream of us alone All those awkward glances, Shorts sentences, Talk about funny messages I never knew I wanted more And playing games, Singing songs, Watching you play guitar I wanted more I wish, I could've talked to you more I wish I could say there's something in store but instead I'll dream of us Alone

You, Me and the Cat

By Brian Hendrix


A very upbeat, fun song. It's one of those that turned out way better than the few lines I was playing with when writing it. It's very folksy-country without being too genre-specific either. Probably one of my favorite choruses I've ever written. It's more of a whimsical story, though a lot of people can still probably relate to love moving really fast. The bridge is also my favorite. I think you'll love it.
