Reason to Live

Hey, y'all! So here are some very simple lyrics I wrote to a very simple song in the middle of the night. Normally I despise over-cheesiness within myself, but I figure if I feel it, why not write it down? If you're reading this and you haven't already, please go read my other lyrics if you please and comment it up! I seriously need all the criticism I can manage. I've been really working a lot more on my own stuff, and once I can semi-master the art of guitarring, I plan on doing a little more than simply posting lyrics on this here blog and playing rough drafts of my songs on my front lawn. Thanks so much for all your support and love. Seriously, it means an incredible amount to me. Anyways, I'll quit rambling now.

Reason to Live

I've always been so scared of falling

But you lifted me right up

And I don't know how

And I don't know why I chose you

But you are reason enough

You make me want to stand up taller

Even though I've got height to spare

And my soul's a little lighter these days

Just knowing that you're there

And baby your colors are blinding

I can feel myself sinking in

And maybe I wouldn't mind it

If you were my reason to live

I love the way you say those smart words

And how you always have something to teach me

You embody perfection

But you're never, ever, ever out of reach

Baby your colors are blinding

I can feel myself sinking in

And maybe I wouldn't mind it

If you were my reason to live

I never could quite see tomorrow

But now every day is you

So, take my hand

And we'll keep on climbing higher

And just enjoy the view

Baby your colors are blinding

I can feel myself sinking in

And maybe I wouldn't mind it

If you were my reason to live

Baby your colors are blinding

I can feel myself sinking in

And maybe I wouldn't mind it

If you were my reason to live

If you were my reason to live

Have a good day, blog readers! :D

Goodbye

Hey guys! So it's been a VERY long time since I've written something that I actually want to post on here. In fact, I just took some of my old lyrics and tweaked them a bit and changed the key for this song. I guess I'm feeling uninspired lately.... or rather, I am feeling very inspired, I just don't know how to put my ideas eloquently into words. Lately everything I've written is cheesy garbage, but I guess I am an adolescent girl, and that is the tendency of my kind. I really want to do a lot more with my songwriting in the next few months, however. I've been working hard on the guitar, and I plan on learning the banjo and harmonica. Hopefully I can actually have some legit songs that are FINISHED and that I will actually let people hear before next semester. That is my goal, anyways.

Goodbye

The sun in my face

Pachuca Sunrise in my ear

I can't help but to think of you

But there's snow on the ground

And you've gone away, love

Tell me, did you ever love me at all?

Oh, ohhhh oh

So, I'm saying goodbye for the first time

Flames to dust

And us

But, after all, fires make the prettiest skies

I've said my goodbyes

But I didn't mean them

The unsaid words are screaming in my head

The silence from you

Makes my heart beat so heavy

Please, just say something

Tell me anything, baby

Oh, ohh, oh

So, I'm saying goodbye for the first time

Flames to dust

And us

But, after all, fires make the prettiest skies

The way your hand fit right in mine

The way we just lost track of time

The person I could be with you

Someone who always told the truth

The way we talked about the world

The way that you called me your girl

I always thought we'd never die.....

So, I'm saying goodbye for the first time

Flames to dust

And us

But, after all, fires make the prettiest skies

So, I'm saying goodbye for the first time

Flames to dust

And us

But, after all, fires make the prettiest skies

After all, fires make the prettiest skies

That's all. Definitely not my best work, but I felt like I should post something just to keep myself motivated. Whoever's reading this, thank you so much for your support. I don't know what I would do without my wonderful friends and family telling me that I'm not a total failure at life.

All I've Ever Loved

It's that time again! The time where I post lyrics that I've written and you read them and tell me what you think. The music for this song is a work in progress, but I feel like it's going to be pretty good. I don't know if I'll add more to the lyrics, probably some sort of outro, but I'm not sure. This is just a song baby right now, but I'm kind of on the fence about the lyrics. I'm not huge on rhyming, and this one rhymes. A lot. So, tell me... are they corny? emo? genius? ;) hahaha Well, Here you go.

All I've Ever Loved

What's just short of perfection

Is what I've deserved

Never needing the best

Never coming in first

I've always been fine

With this ramshackle life

That's why I'll be your lover

That's why I'd be your wife

You suck the soul out of me

Like venom from a snake

At first glance, you're a hero

Cleansing wounds, mending breaks

But, as you and I become entwined

It's then I see your fangs

I guess loving beasts

Is what I do best

Keeping poison in my veins

I don't love you because you're all I've ever wanted

I just want you because you're all I've ever loved

Can you save me from this ghost that haunts my bedroom?

Can you cure me of my addiction to your drug?

So let's kiss without passion

Let's touch but not feel

It can't hurt without meaning

Only hurts when it's real

Why try to do better

When we can't have the best?

That's why I'll never leave you

A numb heart's not depressed

You suck the soul out of me

Like venom from a snake

At first glance, you're a hero

Cleansing wounds, mending breaks

But, as you and I become entwined

It's then I see your fangs

I guess loving beasts

Is what I do best

Keeping poison in my veins

I don't love you because you're all I've ever wanted

I just want you because you're all I've ever loved

Can you save me from this ghost that haunts my bedroom?

Can you cure me of my addiction to your drug?

Yep...there will probably be more lyrics and alterations, etc. But PLEASE comment! I really really need your input. Also, I'm going to really try this semester to actually make something happen with the songs I've been writing. I hope that you'll all be able to actually hear them in completion instead of reading my lyrics or listening to me play a half-hearted attempt at an incomplete song. So yeah... tell me if this is crap or not. I hope you're all having a wonderful day! :D

Perfection

So I haven't posted song lyrics in quite awhile, and I haven't posted good song lyrics in an even longer while. But, my friends, the day I KNOW you've all been waiting for has finally come! ;) I'm going to post some new lyrics, that I'm actually pretty excited about, don't ask me why. I've been experimenting with different chord progressions and melodies than I typically use, and I'm liking it. :) I've got the melody roughly mapped out, but like I said, I'm experimenting. I've decided I'm for sure learning guitar, I just have to go out and buy one. Hahaha But yeah, one day, hopefully, I will actually have some songs finished and people besides me will hear them. That is my goal. But we'll see... Anyways, onward with the blog! This song is called "Perfection"... not really sure of the story behind it; my own imagination, I guess.

Perfection

Lean in, and listen, love
Direct those sweet, unfocused eyes
Not ones for words
We feel in silence
But the melody is too pretty tonight

I am not alone
With you on my mind,
Every step I take is golden
You've filled my broken,
Empty tin chest with love

Like the water,
In your light I'm beautiful
Your hands in mine
Paint love with my scars
Better people on the streets
Just follow in your footsteps
I'm right behind them
Searching to find rest
In your perfection

You are a summer breeze
Warming my skin,
Pulling me in with every word you say
I wish that I had your eloquent love

The moon up in the sky
Can't compare to the light in your eyes
When they look at mine, the world stops
Two perfect souls, perfectly intertwined

Like the water,
In your light I'm beautiful
Your hands in mine
Paint love with my scars
Better people on the streets
Just follow in your footsteps
I'm right behind them
Searching to find rest
In your perfection

Like the water
Your light washes away my scars
Better people just follow you
I'm following
Searching for perfection
Your perfection
Your perfection
You are perfection
