Lyrics:
Again, I'm left wondering what could have been
And I found a reason for the reason she
Would never leave the door unlocked
And never leave the TV on
When I leave I will pass her in the doorway
When I leave I will pass her on my way
She said something with the way she bit her lip
And I stood and thought about it for too long
I must have missed her final word
It's getting late, I'm getting burned
When I leave I will pass her in the doorway
When I leave I will pass her on my way
And this is everything I've been dreaming of
It felt so right and I got it all wrong
And this is everything I've been waiting for
But I guess it's time I wait a little more
A smile breaking record time and smashing mine
The dark cannot clear the air or clear this floor
I'm left inside, the spotlight on
I cannot see beyond my outstretched arm
When I leave I will pass her in the doorway
When I leave I will pass her on my way

very tasteful &mdash 10/11/04 - 10:03:32 AM
I've always been one of your fans, Nolan. Your songs
always please the ear, and your productions are of
consistently high quality.
This collaboration is excellent. Miss Chaos, your additions
to this song are very tastefully done. Your contribution is
tastefully subtle, enhancing the essential flavor of Nolan's
lyrics, vocals and guitar. The result is a cohesive, well-
integrated, seamless whole.
It is fascinating to hear various kinds of collabs here on
MacJams. Some bring very different elements together,
while others combine more similar material, as though
speaking with one voice. This collab is the latter, and
works very, very well.
Great job, both of you! [ Reply to This ]
seamless &mdash 10/11/04 - 11:37:19 AM

Great Song! &mdash 10/12/04 - 10:16:03 AM
Only thing I can think of is that sometimes the strings
seemed a little too buried in the mix. Other times seems
perfect. Beautiful though. I enjoyed this song. Thanks.

All 9s. Vocals are smooth, crisp and highly emotive. Nice
job, you two! [ Reply to This ]
Radio ready &mdash 10/12/04 - 09:15:00 PM
Amazing combination of two amazing talents. Reminds
me of some of the extra texture that Mark Isham brought
to Suzanne Vega's first album. Sure they were all
incredibly strong songs to begin with, but in some way I
just about can't imagine any of those songs he worked on
w/o him. Very tasteful arrangement. I take it those are
some of those nice Korg Karma sounds. Yumm. Fav'ed
and downloaded. [ Reply to This ]
Thank you all! &mdash 10/12/04 - 10:50:39 PM
Thank you for taking the time to comment on Nolan's
song and my contribution to it. And thank you Nolan for
bestowing enough trust in me to embellish such a
beautiful song. ;)

For me... &mdash 10/14/04 - 01:55:40 AM
Thanks from me too. &mdash 10/14/04 - 02:37:47 AM
As Miss Chaos has said, your comments are very much
appreciated, so thank you all.
Thank you especially Miss Chaos for your generosity in
bringing this song to life so beautifully. You got it just
right. [ Reply to This ]
Haunting &mdash 10/14/04 - 11:12:08 PM
This ballad is hauntingly beautiful. It is so heartfelt it
almost aches and makes me cry. The guitar and the
background pad music is angelic, very soothing, both sad
and heavenly. This is a collaboration of musical genius
and makes me so envious. [ Reply to This ]
"She said something &mdash 10/16/04 - 07:42:27 AM
with the way she bit her lip."
Nice word pictures in this song. Love the nervousness and
tense mood you have created in this song.
This is a great collab. Congrats to both of you finding
each other and not passing each other in MJs doorway. [ Reply to This ]
One of the best &mdash 10/16/04 - 01:54:50 PM
in the genre on this site! I feel a little like your lead vocals
could be a little more up front. I feel like the guitar is "in
front" of it a bit. The strings and other instrumentation is
great! [ Reply to This ]
The best I've heard in a long, long time &mdash 10/28/04 - 10:23:46 PM
Simply flawless. I would be honored if you take the time
and listen to my songs. Thanks! [ Reply to This ]
Beautiful! &mdash 12/19/04 - 08:21:51 AM
One of my Fav's &mdash 12/31/04 - 04:18:35 PM
...and one I can listen to again and again.
And often do.
Thank you :) [ Reply to This ]
mmm... &mdash 01/19/05 - 07:34:44 AM
i love the lyrics, very tallented stuff. the vocals are
beautiful is most parts of the song, a bit off here and
there, but i think thats allowed - kinda edgy and cool.
lovely jubbly! [ Reply to This ]
Beautiful &mdash 01/22/05 - 03:22:45 PM
Quite simply one of the sweetest songs I have heard on
this site. Excellent collaboration. [ Reply to This ]
This is a really nice tune &mdash 01/23/05 - 12:08:11 AM
Beautiful sweet voice
Mixed in with nice guitar strumming and synth.
I love that luscious all encompassing synth :)
All fits together quite well indeed!
[ Reply to This ]
Quite nice! &mdash 01/23/05 - 11:43:47 AM
Love those stings and supporting instrumental harmonies.
Very nice vocals and smooth guitar. Really enjoyed this
song...smooth balanced well written and performed. [ Reply to This ]
Bit of compression? &mdash 01/30/05 - 08:39:32 AM
The vocals occasionally have unexpected spikes. Bit of
compression wanted? Somewhere halfway the strings
come up to a level where they are actually part of the
arrangmenet. Before that it sounds like you're recording a
vocal-plus-guitar track, and, oh yes, let's add a couple of
instruments.
Like the mood of the song, though. Just not the
arrangement. [ Reply to This ]
I agree.. &mdash 02/26/05 - 12:07:41 PM
..About the volume of the strings. But overall, simple, flowing, and beautifully
done.

this song made me cry &mdash 02/14/05 - 07:15:58 AM
good thing to hear on valentines...
nolan: so did you dump this woman or what? or she
dumped you? It hurt to hear this.
Miss Chaos: great contribution [ Reply to This ]
Could have sworn I'd already commented and voted on this &mdash 04/05/05 - 10:22:10 PM
Maybe this is a different version? Anyway, I love this
song. Absolutely wonderful. Great writing, singing/
playing, and it's so masterfully mastered. Just sounds
great.
I see this is the one I marked as a favorite. Something
must have distracted me before I got to comment and
vote. Sorrt about that. Glad I came by to take another
listen and found my lack of comment.
Wonderful collaboration resulting in a superb song and
mix. [ Reply to This ]
Great photo too &mdash 05/06/05 - 10:53:49 AM
Just to add to the accolades above, the song art is perfect. Such a nice song. Very solid. [ Reply to This ]
