    Default "Sum of Our Parts"

    Pop rock tune in the vain of bands like fountains of wayne. Have sorn recorded but need a reality check on the lyrics. If you would like to hear the song I will post a link later today. Need honest feed back on the lyrics. Here goes:

    Is your dad a geeky loser?
    Who looks like Ed Begley Jr
    Is your a stupid moron?
    Hey lady what are you on?
    Do you hate it every day at school
    'cause the kids there think they're so damn cool?
    And do you curse the moon every night?
    Will you blame the whole world for the rest of your life?

    We are only the sum of our parts, but how I grew when I met you.
    We are only the sum of our parts, I want to be a part of you.
    We are only the sum of our parts, you were hurt and I was too
    When you take the sum of our parts, you find that one and one make two.


    Are your friends trying always tryin to screw ya?
    Are the guys always tryin to do ya?
    Are the girls always talkin about you?
    Little girl that's just what they do.
    Are you tired of all those empty faces
    staring at you from your top 8 spaces?
    One wrong post and your world will shatter
    who gives a s*** it doesn't matter

    We are only the sum of our parts, but how I grew when I met you.
    We are only the sum of our parts, I want to be a part of you.
    We are only the sum of our parts, you were hurt and I was too
    When you take the sum of our parts, you find that one and one make two.


    Come on and take a chance now
    you always played it so safe before
    you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
    when the world is right outside your door
    it was kinda hard to find you
    I thought you were too far gone
    You were invisible, hiding the spotliglit,
    that you never really wanted on.


    Is it better now that I found you?
    with your old friends no longer around you?
    and those boys who used to hound you
    found another girl to talk down to.
    Do you wanna see the world,
    all its mysterious unfurled
    Wandering free without a care
    trust me and I’ll take you there

    We are only the sum of our parts, but how I grew when I met you.
    We are only the sum of our parts, I want to be a part of you.
    We are only the sum of our parts, you were hurt and I was too
    When you take the sum of our parts, you find that one and one make two.


    Come on and take a chance now
    you always played it so safe before
    you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
    when the world is right outside your door
    it was kinda hard to find you
    I thought you were too far gone
    You were invisible, hiding the spotliglit,
    that you never really wanted on.

    Personally, I think you can find a better melody. In the verses there are a lot of uses of the word "you" as what is essentially the rhyming word that puts the song together, and it's become some what of a cliché. I like a lot of the words though and I think it's a good song in the making.

    Hope that helped.
