About Just to Feel That Way

"Just to Feel That Way" is the first single taken from Taylor Hicks' major label debut album Taylor Hicks, released by Arista Records. It was written by Lindy Robbins, Jess Cates, and Emanuel Kiriakou and produced by Matt Serletic. The song was officially released to radio on February 5, 2007, nearly two months after the album's release. Hicks admitted that fan reaction contributed to releasing "Just to Feel That Way" as a single instead of "The Runaround" as originally intended. The video starts with a black and white vision, and then goes to him performing with the band.

I feel you letting go
Holding on, caught in between
Could you risk the pain
Take the chance your heart might bleed
Just to feel that way

Can't keep running in circles
I'm standing right here
Could you rewrite the story
But trade all the tears?
Oh, it's not too late to feel that way

Take a walk on the wire
I won't let you go
We'll follow the streetlights
Down this jagged road
We'll break it all open
Finding our way
We might end up broken and wounded
But, baby, it's worth it
For even one day
Just to feel that way

Let this moment unravel 
And we'll be alright
The world might be gone tomorrow
But we're here tonight
Oh, it's not too late just to feel that way

Let's walk on the wire
I won't let you go
We'll follow the streetlights
Down this jagged road
We'll break it all open
Finding our way
We might end up broken and wounded
But, baby, it's worth it
For even one day

Just to fall apart
I don't care
I'm not going anywhere
Without you being here by my side
Yeah, I just don't feel right
We'll follow the streetlights

Let's walk on the wire
I won't let you go
We'll follow the streetlights
Down this jagged road
We'll break it all open
Finding our way
We might end up broken and wounded
But, baby, it's worth it
For even one day
For even one day
Just to feel that way
Just to feel that way
