All The Time

I think this song is my favorite I've done so far. I found it in a collection of acoustic songs I did in 2009 before I gave up on music for awhile. I kept the lyrics and chord changes from the original, but the organ and picky guitar line were inspired by Twin Peaks. I just started watching it, but I had the soundtrack in highschool. The music has stuck out to me a lot.
On a separate note I am having some trouble with my guitar. One of the pick ups isn't working and I'm not sure if it's related, but I was having trouble getting it to not sound muddy. I was also getting some static on some takes. It's probably time to save up and take it somewhere to get it fixed. I can't think of anything else of note at the moment. Here are the lyrics.

I watched you growing old in front in me.
you said you had such pretty dreams
I watched you dying in front of me
as you told me that you fought so hard, fought to hard

all the time you said we had
all the time you said we had
we never really had

I watched you withering in the breeze
I watched you disappear into nothing
I watched you growing old in front of me
you said you had so much I wish had something

I watched you dying in front of me
I wish you said... I wish I'd spoken up
I should go now
I should fade away into nothing

If only I thought of the right words
I wouldn't have felt like I was so apart.
I could have thanked you for
All the blood in your heart, in your heart
