These are the lyrics to a song I’ve been working on for a couple years now. The first verse came to me one day in the shower, to the tune of Tom Petty’s Last Dance. Obviously I was single at the time. The second verse came to me one day while I was away from the wife for five weeks. Anyway, just think of the harmonica part at the break. It just needs a verse in between these two to connect them, and/or something to end it. Other than that though, I think it’s perfect so far.
The only thing you ever hear
about’s the loneliness you fear
when all you ever really wanted was someone to hold you dear-
ly and to tell you that it’s alright
and to have yourself a home
A time to start a family and
a place to call your own
But you’re stuck inside the cycle
of repeating past mistakes
Always starting over every time your heart breaks
And the stakes are pretty high
and you feel time is runnin out
Tryin not to die alone is what it’s all about
::BREAK::
Well first thing’s first
The worst become the best
Days of your life
the day your wife
Puts on that ring a wedding dress and says
“Yes
I do
wanna spend my life with you
You made my crappy world so happy with the place you brought me to
I never thought that you
Could ever lift me outta this depression I’ve been livin in with all the love you’re givin and it’s true
I’m so in love with you
Let’s make our parents grand and have ourselves a kid or two.”
(maybe even three)
