The first song on the EP is titled "The Constant". Inspired by the spacey-rock anthems of bands like U2 and Angels and Airwaves, this song is about longing to be there for our loved ones, even when there is great distance between us.
lyrics
When you leave tomorrow in the daylight
Promise you’ll think of me
And when you sleep tonight and the next night
Don’t leave me out of your dreams…
I’m awake all night, I’m asleep all day
And let me tell you now, you’re my constant
I know I never spoke, no, I said way too much
And now I ask you, don’t write me off just yet
Constantly, constantly I’ve been waiting
Constantly wondering what I am waiting for
I thought you felt something in late night conversation
In these times, you were my constant motivation
When you leave tomorrow in the daylight
Promise you’ll think of me
And when you breathe the air inside your new life
Do what you want, but please
When you sleep tonight and the next night
Don’t count me out of your dreams
I’ll be your constant
I saw in that first glance, these feelings come to life
I never thought they would stay so constant
The years have come and gone, and life has slowed us down
And like this melody, you’re always running through my head
Constantly, constantly I’ll be waiting
Hoping and praying I know what I’m in this for
I know transition may part us for a short while
But you go the distance, and I’ll go the extra mile
I'll be your constant
I’ll be your constant comfort, yet your constant fear
You are a floating thought, and you’re constant, dear
I’ll be your constant friend, and your constant help
Constantly, I’ll be your constant one
You will be miles from home, and you might fall in love
I think you already did and I just messed it up
But if you choose to forget and grant me one last chance
You won’t regret a thing; I’ll be your constant.
