Things I write on the couch and record in the bathroom.

Title: Not so Good Riddance
Lyrics:

Oh hello, what's your name again
I beg your pardon please, I forget
I think, I've seen your face before
But maybe you just look like someone I recall

But those eyes, and yes that smile
Those were the same ones I was used to
 When you were mine

Oh hello stranger, let's pretend
Our paths never crossed for the very first time
If we do, I will walk right past you
So we never had to say hello
You never could've hurt me so

I wish we never met
But it's too late now to forget
So I'll pretend
Not to remember you instead

This would be the last time I'd see you
Maybe one last question
Who was I to you?

Goodbye, good riddance to you
Now it's time to get you out of my mind

Not so Good Riddance (Composition)

On the third week of lockdown. Feeling the Cabin Fever, but trying to keep sane.

Recorded in the bathroom. Dumping this here.

Lyrics:
Kissed by the sun, felt the warmth on my skin
Lost in my space, no trace of the date I’m in
I miss the rain and the changes in weather
Counting days tense me out, won’t even bother
 
I miss sweet mornings, sharing stories of our dreams
Under our blanket until noon skin to skin
To keep me sane, stars have kept me company
Under one night sky, loving you miles and miles away
 
Let’s build a house on the moon
Ride away with me, I’d fly with you
Pick you up in ten from your room
With my rocket that I’ve built just for two
 
Let’s talk about our trip from bed to couch
What took you so long to get dressed up?
Tell me how many espresso shots
It took for you to sober up
 
Tell me more about the books you’ve read
The shape of clouds, What’s in your head?
I’m up until like 4am
I don’t mind calling you instead
 
So I try to be friends with anxiety
But my sanity pleads
 
Let’s build a house on the moon
Ride away with me, I’d fly with you
Pick you up in ten from your room
With my rocket that I’ve built just for two
 
Let’s build a house on the moon
Ride away with me, I’d fly with you
Pick you up in ten from your room
With my rocket that I’ve built just for two
…..

Cabin Fever (Composition)

Week 5 of the Lockdown. 
Wrote about imaginary friends. As what they say, keep on writing stuff no matter how random they get.

Stay sane.

Lyrics:
Down under the weather today
But I’m getting by, I have my friends
One is color green, the other explores the seas
Oh yes, they seem real to me.

One day we tried to go explore the moon
Most days we sit down on the couch and lounge all afternoon
They don’t mind if they do all the talking
If I’m not in the mood
They’d say “I got you”

My imaginary friends, they keep me company
Faraway from harsh, unwanted realities.
My imaginary friends, they won’t give up on me
Oh yes, they seem real to me.

And at times they feel much more real than you
They don’t sniff around, they’d place themselves in your shoes.
They’d be there in times which matter most
Now look who’s talkin’ - “imaginary” - it might be you.

My imaginary friends, they keep me company
Faraway from harsh, unwanted realities.
My imaginary friends, they won’t give up on me
Oh yes, they seem real to me.
