I'm working on a really nice song right now. I'm struggling with the second verse as I kinda like it just the way it is. So of course I'm easily distracted which led me to writing this song. It's a little more straight forward and to the point, no social commentary cleverly hidden in the guise of a love song as I'm apt to do. It's for all of us living alone.
At some point I'll get the technology to make a decent recording and include that but 'til then the lyrics will have to do. If you can envision it the verses are broken down into two segments the first is spoken word, dialogue I guess.
Untitled as of now.
An old friend calls to check on me, on how I've been. I tell him i don't really know I guess it's just i am how I am. "And do you think it's better living alone?" Oh, I don't know it's not really 'bout choices, it just had to be.
I get up when I want
Watch just what I like
And do just what I can to make this
feel alright.
i make the coffee just the way I like it
I stay up too late at night, and i
feel just good enough, this way,
but you know
I don't have to beg
I don't have to lie
I got back the part of me
that was pushed aside
I don't have to beg
I don't have to lie
I get back the part of me that
makes me feel alright.
"Don't you worry about dyin' alone?" I don't know man, I could find the love of my life and still die alone.
Maybe when it gets cold outside
maybe when it starts to rain
Maybe when I'm sick of myself
I might feel a little pain
and sometimes I can't sleep at night
I wonder if it'll be alright
But I guess it's just a little better this way,
because i
Don't have to beg,
I don't have to lie
i get back the part of me that
gets pushed aside
I Don't have to beg
I don't have to lie
I got back the part of me that
Makes me feel alright.
