While You're Here
(Ali Handal)
Story Behind the Song:
I wrote this song about a really hot friend of mine who was a bass player in a local band. I knew he had a girlfriend, so I kept my hands to myself. But one night, after a gig of his, he started hitting on me, trying to kiss me and everything. Now, I really wanted him, but I didn’t want to be with a guy who had a girlfriend, so I turned him down.
After that happened, I had all of this repressed sexual energy that needed an outlet, so I wrote While You’re Here, fantasizing that I had taken him up on his offer.
