This was a personal song that I wrote the day after prom. I think I recorded it not long after I wrote it, and it was included in the 1997 album “Stolen Shoes”. I don’t remember everything that happened that night, but there are a few memories I still have that I included in this song. We were in a big group and we all pitched in for a limo. I think I was the only non-Mormon in the group. So, after the dance, which was all loud deep house music, we went to a big house in Anaheim Hills that had a pool. Then we went back to Riverside and watched Overboard, one of my favorite movies. The girl I went with played piano for me at the house, which was pretty cool. I don’t think I ever played any of the songs I wrote about her for her. It was an innocent time back then and I had no clue what I was doing. But I got home around 7 in the morning the next day and I think I wrote this around noon when I got up again. There wasn’t any drama, and no one took dramamine, but I think the title reflects the struggle to not fall asleep while these intense future memories are occurring.
