Resolution




I made a resolution to start writing songs, one a month. I see myself in my head as a musician. I didn't put the effort in to make that true, and wanted to change it. This is my first song in reaching that goal. I didn’t really allocate my time very well and had to bang out most of it the last 3 days of the month. It was important to me to get it done, being it was the first month and I didn’t want to be failing already. I came up with the chord changes and started improvising lyrics. I had a solid base by like the 16th and didn’t get time to record and mess around with it till the end of the month. I realized that it can get more involved pretty quickly. I had 2 pages of lyrics written down and cut out the filler and unfinished thoughts and that's how I ended up with these words.

I don’t know if truth

is a book I could read

the power that I felt

when I was alone

I stood upon towers

and watched from above
it all came down so quickly
like all my dreams of love

Even if I could
I don’t know if I would
I’d just fade into
nothing anyway
I fell into your life
I want to be in your light
I touched it
and I felt alive for awhile
I wasted a life just
waiting for it to click
I wasted a life
waiting for the click

even if I could
change a piece for you
when I stand on my own
I feel sick
even if I could
Follow through the end
where would we be then
Where would we be then?

I fell into your life
I want to be in your light
I touched it
and I felt alive for awhile
I wasted a life just
waiting for it to click
I wasted a life
waiting for the click
