Aaron's Notes: Honestly is Zwan's first studio released song played on Q101 and many other radio stations on 11/21/2002. It has some similarities to the Smashing Pumpkins, although I think Corgan has done what he wanted and created another beast.
Will's Notes: Honestly is one of Zwan's more poppy songs, along the lines of The Shining Path, only more upbeat. It's a nice summation of Zwan's softer songs, bright, dynamic and breath-takingly beautiful. The lyrics are simple and catchy, but not dumb by a longshot. A nice look at love and a very solid debut for Zwan.
Corgan says that "Honestly" came very quickly. "I just kind of wrote it as an, an acoustic kind of song, and I came in and we played it very slow," Corgan said. "And it sounded very nice slow, and I said, 'But I hear this other sort of thing,' and, and then it just kinda clicked, and that was it. About an hour later, pretty much the way you hear it, that's pretty much how it was."

I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe the love you talk about with me
Is it true, do I care
Honestly, you can try to wipe the memories aside
But it's you that you erase
'Cause there's no place that I could be without you
It's too far to discard the life I once knew
Honestly, all the weather and storms I bring
Are just a picture of my needs
'Cause when I think of you as mine
And allow myself with time
To lead into the life we want
I feel love, honestly
I feel love, yes, honestly
I believe you mean the best that life can bring
I believe in it all
Honestly, you can try
Your heart is just as long as mine
Is it ours to let go
'Cause there's not place that I could be without you
It's too dark to discard the life I once knew
Honestly, a single wrong is not enough
To cover up the pain in us
'Cause when I think of you as mine
And allow myself the time
To lead into the life we want
I feel love, honestly
I'll make a joke so you must laugh
I'll break your heart so you must ask
Is this the way to get us back
I don't know, honestly
I don't know, yes, honestly
There's no place that I could be without you
Honestly
There's no place that I could be without you
There's no place that I could be without you
There's no place that I could be without you
There's no place that I could be without you
Honestly
