I finished a song...lyrically. Now I just need to figure out the music...which is the most intimidating part. This is when I just want someone to come in and do the music for me.
But I will put it down for a bit and come back to it.
Sooo...Here are the lyrics: (deep breath)
SOMEONE
Verse1:
I'm looking all around me
Fighting constantly
Unsettled with this skin I'm in
Uncertain of this life I live
Pre-Chorus1:
Waiting to be...someone else
Just wanting to be you
Anybody else but me just someone else like...
Chorus1:
The girl with the long flowing hair
The guy with the songs & the cold dark stare
The girl with the tiny frame
The guy with the wall of shame
Verse2:
Still believing lies about me
Fighting constantly
Not willing to remain the same
How about another name?
Pre-Chorus2:
Waiting til that day...for something new
Just wanting to be you
Anybody else but me just someone else like...
Chorus1:
The girl with the long flowing hair
The guy with the songs and the cold dark stare
The girl with the tiny frame
The guy with the wall of shame
Bridge:
This fight, this fight
Trying to be someone
But all I need is You...
Chorus2:
Who knows the number of each hair
Who gives me His songs with His sweet love stare
Who made & formed my frame
Who takes away my shame
Ooooo... It's good. Very honest and transparent of you.
ReplyDeleteIt could almost use another 4 lines in each chorus (depending on the melody you choose of course- I hear something kind bouncy, but probably not what you're going for). I think it's a great reflection of your heart.
Love you.
nice, Emily!! :) like it very much. can't wait to hear the music.
ReplyDeletewe should try to collaborate sometime - i've got lots of half-written lyrics lying around. :)
So. awesome. Love how letting Jesus in changes those views of what we think we want.
