| Lyrics: | This picture of us here Is just like a rear view mirror Right before the crash Man I hate this old love song But Im the fool that turns it on Like it can change the past I’m not sinking in the whiskey Sipping on our history It’s a whole lot worse than that Since you went away I got one foot in the grave I’m somewhere between the edge Of being alive and feelin’ dead Livin’ like this makes dyin’ less scary Diggin’ up bones better left buried Kickin them stones In love’s cemetery I said its not the end I swore I’d get you back again But now I can’t believe That you and him said I do I wasnt there watchin’ you But a chill came over me When the preacher man spoke that prayer I swear I felt it in the air And my soul started sinkin’ deep Chorus Ashes to ashes And dust to dust My head’s full of memories That pine box wont shut Ashes to ashes And dust to dust A nail in the coffin Of what’s left of us Chorus |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
