New song – I have a melodic idea in my mind 🙂  Just working on lyrics

Long catchy chorus.  Hmmm, or maybe just another long song ->> will put into structure once I know how it’s going to be

** I  was going to do this on electric, but I like it on acoustic – it’s got a ‘trash can’ kind of sound because of the chords – just need some snare drums

Verse 1

I’ve got a funny feeling he’s looking at me

While you’re probably looking at her

And I can’t help wonder does she ever catch your stare

And try to hold you there

That place I long to be, lost in you

And it’s kinda got me thinking that life’s unfair

Oh I gave you my heart,

I gave it to you bare, got trapped in your snare

(Tell me did you toss it in the trash can?)

Pre-chorus

Now I see it crystal clear

That maybe you never did care

Chorus

So tell me, tell me, tell me…

Did I get it all wrong?

And did I write the wrong song?

And is there something you forgot to say?

Like ‘I wish you’d go away’?

Oh baby give it to me soon & give it to me straight

Pretty please…

Stop right there before tomorrow comes

Please stop dragging my heart around

(So I can dig it out the trash can)

Verse 2

I’m still the one who wants to be with you

While you probably want to be with her

And I can’t help wonder if she’s ever held your hand at the fun fair

And touched the sun in your hair

That place I long to be, caught up in you

And it’s kinda got me sinking down into your lair

Oh I gave you our song,

I gave you my air, tried to write it like a prayer

(Tell me did you toss it in the trash can?)

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Bridge??
