LYRICS - YOU CAN WALK

Words and Music - Dom Italiano

VERSE 1

It's almost 4 in the morning.
And I'm headed home guided by the glowing of the Melbourne sky.
She keeps me awake while I'm driving.
Even though I know I shouldn't be talking on the phone.

PRE 1

Tomorrow she's taking the day off.
I ask if she can afford to?
I wouldn't understand, she's always so rushed off her feet.
People always stepping on her toes, and not having time to eat.

CHORUS

All that I can say is….
You can walk on me.
I'll be your bridge if you want me to be.
And I'll sit in the next room if you need your space.
And I'll dance like a fool to put a smile on your face.
You can walk over me.

VERSE 2

Now I'm at work and I'm yawning.
A friend says I'm not ready yet, to give up the things I cannot get.
I get the feeling he's hiding,
Saying, "What if she's not the one for me?"
"Will I miss the love I'll never see?"

PRE 2

Well tomorrow he's calling it all off.
I ask, "Do you really want to?"
Well I wouldn't understand,
What it's like to have cold feet.
She only wants to settle down
'Cause she's got deadlines to meet.

CHORUS 2

All she's tryin' to say is….
You can walk on me.
I'll be your bridge if you want me to be.
And I'll sit in the next room if you need some space.
And I'll dance like a fool to put a smile on your face.
You can walk over me.

Instrumental Section

CHORUS 3

You can walk on me.
I'll be your bridge if you want me to be.
And I'll sit in the next room if you need some space.
And I'll dance like a fool to put a smile on your face.
You can walk over me.

You Can Walk - 27/02/02 Dom

This one took a while to write. I had the first verse & pre chorus written for a while, and came up with the idea for the chorus whilst driving over a bridge with my girlfriend. I played the first half of the song to the guys at a rehearsal one night in Moorabbin, they liked it, so after many failed attempts, I finished the rest of the lyrics about two weeks later. The instrumental section was made up on the spot when we recorded the original demo at Robbo's place. This is a rare kind of song, in the sense that it continues to become more meaningful over time. Life imitating art? Some crap like that!!!
