Skipping Stones??

THE TEAR BEHIND THE TREASON

Every night he comes home blind,
That picture running through his mind,
He tried his best the night before,
Memorised everything you wore,

And a repeat of yesterday,
He put his bag before his feet,
Took off his coat, threw down the remote,
And changed the lyrics that he wrote,

These lyrics told,
His story of,
His whole damn life,
As life in love,
He skipped a beat,
He looked down at,
That prized possession of his hat,
That kept his thoughts inside his head,
From creeping up on you instead,

He shut the door,
He ran the first few miles ahead,
His eyes had widened by now,
As the thrilling thoughts flowed through his head,

His leather jacket brushed the leaves,
As he darted through the golden trees,
And he found the place he’d always been,
As his brown hair danced within the breeze,

And the sun shone slightly as it began to set,
And his reflection in the water outlined his silhouette,
And to the right he kept, a sign of everything he knew,
This is where he spent all of his time; it was the way to make it true,

And he sits on the ground, with every stone that he’s ever found,
And as he feels the shape of these cold hard masterpieces, he knows you won’t understand, no one will ever understand.
And how could something so small mean so much to that kid, mean so much at all?
But the madness behind the reason, could be the reason behind the madness,
And how tear behind the treason, could be the treason behind the sadness.

And one day, you’ll have to remind me, to tell you this story and unblind me,
From that picture in my mind, and everything I wrote before,
And everything you ever wore will come from behind me, help to realign me tonight.

And if I gave you my eyes,
And you looked across that water,
And if you gave me your lies,
About your father and his daughter,
And if I then gave you my heart,
You’d have to be ready to embrace it,
Because the love that’s filled inside,
Could be too hard for you to face.

And the worst thing is that he’ll never know,
How she’ll ever feel because he’s far too low,
And he needs a life, a raise past this dead end,
Someone to believe in, to even call a friend,
And all around this world,
You think we created to destroy,
There will be a million stories, just like the skipping stones boy,
And disguised in a meaning which we never ever will find,
Every word that is spoken will speak the meaning of this kind.

(new verse)
And he sings slowly, a rhyme almost in song,
About the girl of his dreams, and how he’d do her no wrong,

And this one sunny day, he’s close to giving it all up,
And he sees his water frown at him as he looks into his cup,
And as another stone leaves with the flick of his wrist,
He knows she’s bound to be happy without the touch of his lips,
And he sees something strange, something in disarray,
And he sees the lake ripple back towards his way,
And his eyes lift up, like gentle flying flowers,
And he sees that girl sitting there, like she’s been sitting there for hours,
Could it be so, no surely not, maybe though? But it just can’t be so.
Everything he’s ever wanted, across the way, he’s more than daunted,
His lifetime dream, and the girl that filled it, She means everything to him!
And he sees her skipping stones, and he realises he’s not on his own,
And here’s the chance to tell her, its make or break, it’s her choice,
So he runs on over, heart, beating like a steam train, he knows,
This will be the moment that decided whether his whole life was in vain.
And he doesn’t know where he is anymore; he’s getting high off breathing,
The amount of times he closed that door, and began life dreaming.

As he stands just feet away,
She hears him move and turns her head,
Her eyes wide open, wondering,
He’s got the words but his mouth is dead,

And after an awkward silence,
All he manages to say is, “hi?”
She smiles so warming to him,
His tears reflecting in her eyes,

He say’s “I didn’t see you there”
She replies, “Were your eyes ever even open?”
He looks blankly back at her,
Reruns the words that she’s just spoken,

He say’s, “there’s something I need to tell you”
But I don’t know if they’ll reach your ears.
She say’s “baby I’ll listen to anything you say,
I’ve been listening for years.”

(new from here to end)
His mouth drops wide open,
Lips carved in the shape of words he’s spoken,
Her hips, so much more elegant and relapsed,
Better in real than those photographs, they mean nothing to him now,

It’s gonna sound wrong, maybe even scare you,
But I swear with all my heart, that everything I speak shall be true,
You’re my one last star; you’re the fire in this kid’s heart,
You’re the unwounded battle scar; you’re the death of me when we’re apart,

So, are you telling me, that you really feel this way?
And as her eyes turn to tears he doesn’t know what to say,
Your amazing, such a beautiful girl,
And I wouldn’t swap you for the rest of the world,

And she looks up, from down at the ground,
And he wants to hold her and tell her,
But he can’t make a sound,
And she jumps to her feet, throws her arms round his sides,
And as her lips lock to his, He experiences being alive,
Never before and never in time, will the skipping stones boy,
Will the skipping stones boy return to his rhyme?
And now he can say, whether it holds him or not,
That he’s finally touched heaven, and he liked it a lot,

And he holds out his hand, for her to accept,
But in his mind it’s his heart, which she’s already kept,
And for every boy who’s ever skipped a stone,
Remember this song and those rocks that you’ve thrown,
And for every girl, who ever wanted true love too,
That place and time you least expect it, is when it’ll expect you.
And all through these words, if you were thinking of the one,
You’d give everything for, just to outshine the sun,
Look deep into their eyes, When their looking back at you,
And you will realise everything seems so true,
And say it; go on ask her, will you love me so,
If you never say those words, how will you ever know?



Comments please, much appreciated.

Wow! i find the imagery in that so powerful! you may have used the word "and" a bit too much and its a bit lengthy but it depends on the type of music you're putting it to! but otherwise thats really good!

Thanks for the reply, it's gonna be played with acoustic guitars, and was meant to be lengthy along the lines of 10 minutes, not quite finished yet though, there's more to come!

lyrics are really cool man awsome!!
liked the begining esspecially !

that souds like it should be good, it's impressive! and i agree with alexcaskie the begining is really good! Nice!

Thanks for the positive feedbacks. May include some piano also, not decided yet.

i think the piano would fit in well, it would help create a melancholic mood that your lyrics appear to portray! that sounds really good!

New added stuff! Take a look and see what you think. thanks!
