I have included a few lyrics to give you a sample of what I do when I'm bored or when I get a creative surge in the middle of the night. I write a lot; at school, at home, in my car (which I don't recommend-- it's dangerous)...I write all the time, and song lyrics are just one of the many ways in which the crazy ideas in my head can be transposed into a visual form. Well, feedback is always encouraged and much appreciated...as long as it is constructive. Feel free to ask me what stuff means too.
Dial Tone
This is me
This is my happiness
This is my self-control
What are you
What were you yesterday
You are today
What you’re not tomorrow
You are...
Chorus
...Forgotten
Remebered are the t-shirts
The ones I gave you
Where are they
So gone are phone calls and emails
Products of misinformed details
You are a dial tone
Call it what it will
I don’t care anyway
My phone is on speed dial
And yours is in denial
Chorus
You are a dial tone
Ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing
To tell me what I already know-- you and I are a no go
So what it’s all just a bunch of noise to me
No point calling on empty
12 Ounce Fame
I spent four bucks at a coffee cup chain
Thinking that would heal my aching brain
A tryst with fun and 12 ounce fame
Can’t buy you love and happiness
It won’t buy you anything
What a trip
You thought I loved you, boy that’s sick
Well my 12 ounce has got me glued to the tube
And I’m watching bellies ache, but I’m not
Yesterday has come and gone let it be
Regret has a death grip over me
Sweet nostalgia carry me home
12 ounce fame died with the bottle
But your remains won’t go
What a trip
You thought I loved you, boy that’s sick
Well my 12 ounce has got me running, but from whom
Oh, now I remember why I’m here, but I’m not with
Tomorrow, tomorrow will be
Tomorrow I’ll have a smart conversation with my tea
While you dream of me
What a trip
You thought I loved you
Boy that’s sick
Well my 12 ounce has got me glued to the tube
And I’m watching bellies ache
But I’m not with you
Love Will Last the Rain
Lovers lost, lovers gained
A bit of love to last the rain
A kiss good-bye, a kiss hello
A tear is born when lovers go
Growing apart, growing together
Who says love can't last forever
A tear of joy, a tear of pain
For every loss there is a gain
Chorus
So tell me why, tell me why
Why is love so complicated
Mended soul, broken heart
Sometimes lovers grow apart
A failed attempt, an honest try
The heart can feel what words deny
Love is tough, love is kind
Love is a hard thing to define
Love brings joy, love brings pain
But love will always last the rain
Chorus
Love brings joy, love brings pain
But love will always last the rain
In the Rain
In the rain sometimes I’m falling too
In the sun sometimes I’m freezing up
In the snow sometimes I’m warm with you
Sometimes I’m warm with you
(Repeats 3 times)
In the rain, in the rain
I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling in love with you
Oh, in love with you
Isn’t it funny that we’re far from the middle
The sun will laugh, but he never quite gets it
The moon beams down always gleaming with love
And one of these days he’s gonna shine it on us
But sometimes even love is not enough
Sometimes even love is not enough
