Now

I don’t want to be tied down

By your personality

Please describe what you’re feeling

And what is necessary

So that I will be set free

So many things are changing

Including my looks to you

Well I’ve found another girl

That I can give my time to

So go and find someone new

Chorus:

You’ve gone from my mind

Stop wasting my time

I’ve found someone that cares for me

What have you accomplished lately?

I have prayed for this

That it’s me you’ll miss

You need to hear the truth, but how?

That my time to move on is now, now, now

What will it take to forget

That I had been your man?

Do the stars have to align?

Can you just change your game plan?

Go back to where we began

CHORUS

Now that I have gone

You are left crying

Now that I am done

You are now crying

Now…now…now

CHORUS

CHORUS


The main idea of these lyrics is the concept of "moving on". The chorus describes how someone might finally move on, but then the other is having difficulty doing the same. It can be hard to tell them that the time to move on is now.

Your List

I've heard what you give is what you get

Well that hasn't happened to me yet

I gave my all, I gave it to you

And in return, your heart was untrue

I bite my nails and pull out my hair
It's hard to see you over there
What do you know? Speak of the devil
You've found one who stoops to your level

Climb:
You think you'll kick me when I'm down
But I've made you give up your crown
You think you know what love is like
But you are wrong, you've got three strikes

Chorus:
There's things I do that you don't care for
You overreacted and caused a war
I wanted to talk but you'd resist
Take each of those things and add them to your list
You had me once but I disappeared
Before your controlling smoke had cleared
You never thought that it's me you'd miss
Well all you have now is that stupid list

You were molding me to someone new
Would only change when I was with you
We're not on the same page or the same book
You'd had known that if you had just looked

Come and step to the edge of the edge
That list you made is being a wedge
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?
You need to go through what I've gone through

CLIMB

CHORUS

You ran away with him
But when he deserted you
You came running to me
Acting like we're all good

CHORUS


The first two stanzas introduce the concept of these lyrics. The guy was putting more heart into the relationship than his partner. Then the climb and chorus describe the situation even more. His girl basically had a "list" of things that he should change, but ultimately that's all she would end up with.

One Minute Too Late

I keep on looking for the right moment

I wouldn’t blink incase I missed it

It’s hard to see clearly through the smoke

It’s hard to fix something that’s not broke

Well that one guy…he is so sly

He took her away before I said goodbye

Chorus:

Let the cause take the effect

It takes hearts time to connect

Start giving my heart respect

I was one minute too late

I was one minute too late

One minute too late

The mind can play nasty tricks on you

Do you know all the pain I’ve gone through?

Quit pretending that it was nothing

Quit trying to take away my wings

Well she’s with him…life feels so grim

She has no clue I’ve lost all strength in my limbs

CHORUS

You make me feel like the white rabbit

You make it hard to stop old habits

My watch never feels like the right time

The clock’s hands never seem to align

CHORUS

I was barely too late

To set the record straight

And now I have to wait

One minute too…

One minute too…

One minute too late

So this set of lyrics is supposed to describe how many times we might come close to changing a relationship with someone else, but just come up a tad too late. The first verse can actually apply to many situations in life. But as the rest of the words go, it applies more to relationships.

Start of my blog

HEY EVERYONE!

So this is my blog where I will post my written work. Not too shabby eh? (Even though I haven't really done anything yet.) This is still a work in progress but I am happy to share some of the stuff I have written with you all. The posts will be what I consider possible song lyrics that I have written. I guess they can also be considered poems (with a chorus). I really enjoy music and listening to music. I just don't sing or play instruments well so I decided to jot down some thoughts for songs that others can use to help me become rich and famous (probably not). Anyways, I hope you enjoy this blog!
