When I look at you, it doesn't feel any different than the day when you first impressed and I felt sorry for you.


I'm as clever as the last thing you ever told me.
I'm so lost from the things I just couldn't see.
I keep comparing myself to who you used to be.

Just playing along to make things right.
Just play that one song one time more.
We'd sing it if we knew that tonight,
We'd find ourselves as we were before.

Oh, a new perspective,
Sheds light on the back of your head.
I've caught every single lie you've said.
And now that I'm guilty by association,
I'm surprised we haven't turned up dead.

You wouldn't wait for what tomorrow would bring.
You were there long enough to mess up everything.
You asked for the song, and together we'd sing.

Just playing along to make things right.
Just play that one song one time more.
We'd sing it if we knew that tonight,
We'd find ourselves as we were before.

Now that I've got your attention,
Promise me you'll keep one more.
Keep on opening that same door.
Your eyes have always caught my own,
Staring at nothing but the floor.

Just playing along to make things right.
Just play that one song one time more.
We'd sing it if we knew that tonight,
We'd find ourselves as we were before.
I've always dabbled in lyric writing, due to on and off musical pursuits. Seeing as how I'm not musically gifted at all, this song doesn't have any kind of music set to it. Read it as you will.
So I guess you can call it poetry, but I'd like to think they're lyrics.

Based off someone I used to know. Bittersweet? Kindof. Pretty much every line is based off a memory of said person.

There are couple of things about this one that annoy me [stretched rhymes, cliche-sounding lines...], but I wanted to put some kind of writing up. Especially since I have a number of notebooks full of writing that I haven't done anything with.

Though my favorite line is "Promise me you'll keep one more." Knowing me, I'm prolly gonna put that on a shirt or something.

Care to comment? Tear it apart. I love constructive criticism.
