This entry was going to be somewhat insightful and dare I say...awesome? But because of what I've been doing for the past hour I changed my mind haha. I don't think it will come as a surprise to anyone that I have been trying to write songs for the past two months or so. Today I was watching Gabe Bondoc videos all day and decided to try to write similarly. It actually worked for me. Before I post these lyrics I just want to say that I never, ever, ever write like this. That's now contradicting because I just did. But you get my point. I normally criticize people for writing ridiculously sappy songs like this. Now it's my turn. I did this because I had the inspiration of Gabe and it worked. I have all the music part done for the verses. So in one day it has come along very far.
I started this game last in line
Thought long as I’m around I’m feelin’ just fine
I’ve been waiting watching the birds pass by
You let the others cut and I can’t help but wonder why
Old willow trees and even the buzzing bees
have never evoked such feelings in me
But I don’t think I’ll ever get it right
Pass by me again, it’s the same thing
Just another “I’ll be waiting” night
“save the best for last” was always my favorite line
Somehow I thought It meant that you’d be mine
But I never could get meaning down quite right
Now my favorite line is “not without a fight”
Old willow trees and even the buzzing bees
have never evoked such feelings in me
But I don’t think I’ll ever get it right
Pass by me again, it’s the same thing
Just another “I’ll wait here” night
How many thems until there’s a me
How come he never has a she
How will any of this ever really be
How come I’m always left on my knees
Give up, it’s over now
You’re too late, without a doubt
Old willow trees and even the buzzing bees
have never evoked such feelings in me
But I don’t think I’ll ever get it right
Pass by me again, it’s the same thing
Just another “I’ll wait forever” night
Give up, it’s over now
You’re too late, without a doubt

[title suggestion: i'll wait]
i'd love to hear what you're doing melodically with it. you do it right it would remind me of summer.
When I started reading your blog I was thinking ... o great, another boy who thinks he can write songs because he found a few words that rhymed haha.
Pleasant surprise: YOU CAN!That was really, really, really good.
Impressive. Ditto to what Natalee said I'd LOVE to hear the words translated into music. :)
