Not really sure what to call this, but it’s a song I wrote about having regrets, and learning to live more in the moment. Feedback appreciated! 🙂
Lyrics:

Smudged words made of ink
Paint the side of my hand
From the letters I wrote and then
Crumpled up and started again

Pages full of all the things
I never said
But no one will read them
They’ll live with the cobwebs under my bed

An aching heart beats
To the wrong drum
But it’s an old familiar song
It’s the one I’ve been hearing since
The cold winter day when I was born
And I think I’ll hear it til I’m gone

Took forty years to finally learn
We’ll never have this moment again
My mind gets heavy
And my thoughts are turning grim

Sometimes all I needed was a hand from a friend
I guess I should have called one
Oh what a fool I’ve been

An aching heart beats
To the wrong drum
But it’s an old familiar song
It’s the one I’ve been hearing since
The cold winter day when I was born
And I think I’ll hear it til I’m gone

Don’t say it’s too late to change
The way I’ve been living
Don’t say it’s decided
I’m just beginning to begin

A mending hear beats
To a different drum
It’s a newly written song
It’s the one I hum as I watch
The glow of your hair in the sun

It’s the one I hope lives in
My heart and keeps ringing out
From this day on
Til I’m gone

this is a song I’ve been working on called Andy. it’s about reflecting on a past relationship with a new understanding. I’d love any feedback!

lyrics:

Andy

this wasn’t how I wanted things to go with you and me

andy

this wasn’t how I pictured us every night before I fell asleep

that night when you called me I was such a mess that I couldn’t breathe

did you know you blinded me with my own tears, and that’s not how love‘s supposed to be

you said you couldn’t see the future

you left out “with me”

everything happened like it should have

I just wish

it hadn’t taken me so long to see you

now I see you

andy

andy

im older now, I’m better at knowing what I want and what I don’t

andy

if I could go back I’d do it differently to save myself the fall

just before the moment when our eyes met I’d look the other way instead

but I guess some lives only come to leave

and show you who you’re really meant to be

you said you couldn’t see the future

you left out “with me”

everything happened like it should have

I just wish it hadn’t taken me so long to see you

Now I see you

andy

andy now we both have the love I wanted then

I hope she gives you what you need the way I never did

I hope she sees you

i couldnt see you

andy

wrote this song about feeling like you don’t quite fit anywhere… except with one person. i‘d love any feedback

lyrics:

Somebody In Yours

This race 

I was never gonna win

My pace can’t keep up with the rest of them

I fall behind

But I look up in the sky

I see a cloud, it looks like you

And it makes me smile 

They cheer me on

But we all know how it ends 

The big prize doesn’t have my name on it 

I don’t mind

Maybe I do a little bit

But it’s alright 

It’s alright…

I don’t need consolation cause I came in last again

Holding up a trophy was never in my plans

Instead of taking praise 

I’ll just take your hand 

And gladly be a nobody in everybody’s life

As long as I’m somebody in yours 

This party 

Shines a light on where I stand

They’re so nice

But have they heard a word I said

I’m like a plant

Part of the scenery

I keep my black wool coat on all night 

Chit chat

I was never good at that 

Her song and dance always has a captive audience 

She turns heads

Even when she’s not there

But yours turns to me

You turn to me 

I don’t need consolation cause I came in last again

Holding up a trophy was never in my plans

Instead of taking praise

I’ll just take you hand 

And gladly be a nobody in everybody’s life

As long as I’m somebody in yours 

Let’s slip out the back door

They don’t even have to know we’re gone

Let them have their fun

You and me, we’ll turn tail and run

Run 

Run 

I don’t need consolation cause I came in last again 

Holding up a trophy was never in my plans

They can keep their praise 

I’ll just take your hand

And gladly be a nobody in everybody’s life

As long as I’m somebody in yours
