you know i never used to drink
but these days it's my only link
to understanding what it is
to cope with loss to feel regret and
my how time has really flown
just yesterday i had someone
these days i have the extra space
in my bed there's a guitar case
that's sleeping where you used to be
oh you know i never used to drink this way

did i just hear a noise at my door?
i go to check but nobody's there

today i found a photograph
of me when i was ten and laughing
oh it's funny how a life can change
from wondering why the sky is grey
into abandoning precaution giving
time away like something
you can get for free
like happiness has just one key
but things aren't always what they seem
cause every failure's once a dream
and mine it still has never changed
i wish to write a song that never fades

did i just hear a noise at my door?
i go to check but nobody's there

i just realized it's new year's eve well
that's my way of keeping track of time
cause fate has never failed it
seems i always spend this night alone and
wonder where you are and who you plan
on kissing when this year expires leaving in it's wake a trail of memories you can't escape the past i hear, it's just a burden that we'll have to bear

hold a second
someone's at my door
i open up the locks and twist
the doorknob
all to find the girl
whom i am writing this song for
my mouth opens to speak
with tears upon my cheeks, my body says
''hello emma, i'm happy to see you again.''

Took a nap on an airplane.

Woke up and drew this.

I love dreaming while flying.

 Thanks for the resources everyone.

 eaneikciv & I Am 1954 on the track! 

i absolutely adore May's song and i always imagine a tiny  retro club with a small stage and a girl singing this song. so i made a tiny animation based on this idea and amazing drawings by jenyffer.maria.

UPD thanks for the cool advice, Matt! i realy want to develop this into something beautiful cause the song is so inspiring and the charactes are drawn so well. in my view, the first issue is the story, i mean, the mood and the atmosphere are great but we need to decide what we can show with their help. i'm not good at writing screenplace, so if anyone has any idea that may help i'll be extremely grateful =)

........I'm pretty sure it's going to work this time.  The last upload didn't have my vox on it.  Thank you for your help sirbeardo ;)
