The First Time: Please forgive me - This song is an apology that's why there is so much melody in it. If it was an excuse rather than an apology there would probably be a lot more words. All I can do is say forgive me�and let the strings do the rest.

I wrote this with more of a broad perspective; it is not really specific to anyone. That is pretty much how all my songs are. My heart tells me that I have done some hurtful things in the past and its ach won't let me forget. Eventually, I just have to ask for forgiveness and see things anew, wipe it clean. That's what the song is. A plea for forgiveness and moving forward and then seeing for the first time.
