Change Your Mind...

I'm looking at you in a different way
Avoiding the words that I shouldn't say
I'm wishing I never felt this way

The lights go out
And we talk about love
The lights go out
And we can talk until the sun comes up

Our fingertips touch
And so I breathe a little more
We'll shout it on the streets tonight
Until you change your mind
You pull me then
And then you spit me out
I really wanted you last night
Until you changed your mind

And now we're back where we started from
The light in the clouds seem to move on
The fire is out and the spark is gone

The lights go out
And we talk about love
The lights go out
And we can talk until the sun comes up

Our fingertips touch
And so I breathe a little more
We'll shout it on the streets tonight
Until you change your mind
You pull me then
And then you spit me out
I really wanted you last night
Until you changed your mind

This is a song that sings itself right off the page!Good job!

Thanks man! I actually wrote this song without any music to go with it, I now realise it doesnt need any music because its a song that people can sing in their head (or aloud)!!

That's the "thing"about posting "bare bones"lyrics;they have to be "imagined".I always try to give as much information to make it easier for the reader(as a lot of the songs I've posted have been performed)to figure out the direction of the song.And a few I haven't written the music for.Being a drummer,I sometimes know exactly the bass and drum parts,but the guitar player should bring something of their own for a good song to be great.

good job I'm a guitarist then
I always try and make my lyrics sound like they've come from a 'first person view' and not as though the story being told is being watched by somebody else from a distance. If that makes sense!

I agree with that,up to a point.Both have valid things going for them.Bottom line;a good song!From any point of view or any way you can manage it!

kmatt, here's another guitarist, but also a singer (very much so)! Indeed we tend to "hear"all sorts of possible melodies in our head and that's gr8, just
fine to let people decide for themselves and activate their creative brains..... Indeed: APPLAUSE! Fine job done.

Let's just say most people (including moi) can relate with these words...that breath-altering touch, hmm.

(with the right melody,this should be a smash)
