i penned some lyrics a long time ago, on another blog.
but i refused to post them there. so they belong here.
i wanted to paint a picture of a relationship.
verse one would be the fizzing of the relationship. the electricity when our hands almost touch. they secret smiles that we both wear but never see. and seeing the sun set over the coastline for the first time together.
verse two would have us seeing each other on a regular basis. i'd get a little more involved in your daily life and behind your smile i'd discover this amazing person. there'd be something about you that i couldn't keep my mind off. and we'd stay up late until the early hours, soaking in our conversation.
and finally verse three would be the proposal. it's been years and we know each other so well that it's predictable. well, almost. you never could walk and talk at the same time, let alone deal with a ring. i want you to be the one i wake up to.
so that's what i was going for, but i kept the lyrics vague because i haven't actually had these experiences. and it'd be much too personal if i had. maybe someday i'll pick up these lyrics again and rewrite them, for her (whoever she is, wherever she is).
v1
you stared at me as i looked across the hall
when our eyes met, the distance made no sense at all
i took my chance and grabbed your hand, and this i can't regret
oh girl, wont you be my sunset
chorus1
and the days fade out along the shore
but time stands still when i am yours
all of the roses just melt in the sun
when i know that you are the one (weak lyrics)
v2
everything i know about you's changed
the light behind your eyes is something else i can't explain
i wanna know what makes you smile with every flash of daylight
girl, wont you be my midnight
chorus2
v3
we've been together so long our lives become the same
it's nearly time for me to ask for you to change your last name
then you'll fall down in utter shock and complete surprise
girl, wont you be my sunrise
girl, wont you be my sunrise.

i remember u mention these lyric themes - won't you be my sunset/midnight/sunrise.
awesome to see the fruit. so are u gonna put some music to these lyrics anytime soon or will you keep them as a work in progress for potential significant other?
i like the theme, i'll probably keep it in a back shelf somewhere, but not anytime soon.
and i'm not that satisfied with the lyrics, but that's possibly because they're not pulled from personal experience, just a random collection of moments in a life i imagine :D.
i think if i ever did a song like this, it wouldn't be for a potential, it'd be for the significant other, and it would definitely not go on the internet haha, it'd have too many personal lyrics. only meant for the ears of few.
how's your music?
personal experience will give it the edge. but for now, i guess it can't be helped.
my music is currently non-existent. to be continued... maybe =P
