I wrote this song for a project where I picked a specific genre to write in and produce. The genre I chose was 1950s R&B. 

My main genre influences were "Ain't that a shame", "It's just a matter of time," "I'll wait for you," and "I got loaded." 

It's about wanting someone you love to stay with you through the good and the bad.

Lyrics: 

i spend my time; all of my life 

waiting for you 

on the shoreline

i spend my days; oh, every night

looking for you 

in the soft light

 

oh, sun falls like rain

until the moonrise 

please just stay by my side 

be along for the ride 

 

just keep your eyes trained on mine 

even when we’re 

in a rockslide 

the world is caving in; oh, it’s wearing thin 

but just be mine 

in the decline 

 

oh heads will still roll 

when the angels arrive 

please just stay by my side 

be along for the ride 

 

i don’t know how life will follow 

don’t even know if we’ll survive 

but if you keep your hand on my shoulder 

surely, we’ll make it out fine 

 

it’s all a lie; time never flies

when you’re apart 

in the divide 

but all of this strife can coincide 

with a new life 

as we reunite 

 

oh i will still wait 

for you to arrive 

till you’ll stay by my side 

be along for the ride

Along For The Ride

i wrote this song because even though i am human, it doesn't always feel that way. sometimes it does—sometimes i feel so completely and utterly human that it rips me apart inside, but other times? it feels like i'm still a kid, playing dress up in my own skin. i'm sure that most people have felt this way, and if you have, i hope you enjoy <3

lyrics: 
what is it like to move like you do?
effortlessly light, no need to think it through
either everyone is lying or hiding a clue
i want to collide with someone who speaks in truth  

is this at all right? or am I still losing?
my mind has gotten tired, body won’t loosen
how do I feel, feel like a human? x2 

like a human, oh, 
put my missing soul
in the body i feel like i stole 
am i even human, after all? x3 

rehearsing a play, running my lines 
a map in my brain of where to step and why
then you get in my way holding a giant stop sign
my plan has gone astray; im paralyzed

is this at all right? or am I still losing?
my mind has gotten tired, body won’t loosen
give me the key, to the world’s absolution
how do I feel, feel like a human x2 

smile and look away, now 
be careful with what you say now
your mind was made half-broken, don’t act like you don’t know it 
your peers have never liked you, barely could pretend to 
convinced you weren’t human, from an alien invasion 
must be missing a screw cause you don’t think like they do
everyone is staring, but i think i’ve stopped caring 

like a human, oh
put my missing soul
in the body i feel like i stole
am i even human after all 
am i even human?

Lyrics: 
you’re always talking bout how you got into college  
you’re always talking bout how you can turn me on 
you’re always saying that you want me to be honest
but when im honest you say you did nothing wrong

if the truth burns half like the punch did
can i burn your tongue like you did mine 
if the truth could cut you to pieces 
can i pair your flesh with some fine wine 

cause i-i-i
i’m a little bit fed up
cause i-i-i
i thought i was in love 
but you wanted control 
my body felt the toll
so i-i-i
i’ll pour us both a cup:
drink up! 

you reached out when you saw that i got into college 
to tell me that you’re proud of how far i have come 
as if you have the right to take any credit
all of the credit comes from me moving on 

if the truth burns half like the punch did 
can i burn your tongue like you did mine 
if the truth could cut you to pieces 
can i pair your flesh with some fine wine 

cause i -i-i
i’m a little bit fed up
cause i-iiii
i thought i was in love 
but you wanted control 
my body felt the toll
so i-iiii
i’ll pour us both a cup:
drink up! 

i promise it’s not poison, baby
but you don’t have to drink it 
i just had thought that maybe 
you’d want a taste of your own medicine 

oh i -i-i
i’m a little bit fed up
and i-iiii
i thought i was in love 
but you wanted control 
my body felt the toll
so i-iiii
i’ll pour you your own cup: 
drink up!

drink up! (demo)

Amélie Page's first single is vibe-y & catchy, the perfect pop song for that mid-summer mood. You’ll find yourself asking - was it just a fling, or did they leave an imprint on your heart?

LYRICS
VERSE 1:
i could always see the stars 
reflected in your eyes
you told me to believe 
then you kissed the moon goodnight
pushed me out the door so i 
wouldn’t have to see you cry
it’s fine, oh, it’s alright
i can’t need you anymore 

REFRAIN: 
but it was so sweet
knowing you 
knowing me

VERSE 2:
like a dam that’s breaking, like the ocean floods the shore
i can’t seem to help myself 
from always wanting more
house don’t feel like home without me waiting for you at the door  
it’s fine, oh, it’s alright
i don't need you anymore 

REFRAIN: 
but it was so sweet
knowing you 
knowing —

BRIDGE: 
if i could leave a hidden message 
in those bottles you collected
i’d lose all my self-respect and 
beg for you to be resurrected 
if i could finally see you free
one last time, in the shade of our tree
it might heal my heart of blue
to know in me, there’s still some you

INTERLUDE 
(lots of oooooooo’s) 

VERSE 3: 
breathing in the memories 
of those lost long ago
all is made of stardust
you’ll never leave me alone
in the gentle night, i kiss 
the moon for you, and hope you know
it’s fine, oh, it’s alright
i’ll still need you evermore

OUTRO: 
but it was so sweet
knowing you
was so sweet
knowing you
knowing me
knowing me

Knowing You Knowing Me (Demo)

VERSE: 
whispers float around 
this is not a ghost town
rumors in the air
they’re your friends, they swear

PRE-CHORUS: 
trying people on, seeing if they fit
but if they don’t, you’re stuck 
lying to yourself about who you are
what happened to all your luck?

CHORUS: 
well, i better keep the curtains closed 
and hope the fire fades out
gotta keep the curtains closed
what would i be without 
i have to keep the curtains closed 
please, oh, please just stay out  
but then they can’t hear me shout 
 
VERSE: 
fake personality; they’ll ask,
“what’s wrong with your family?”
you’ve said too much, you can’t help sharing 
strangers can be so reassuring 

PRE-CHORUS: 
trying people on, seeing if they fit
but if they don’t you’re stuck 
lying to yourself about who you are
what happened to all your luck

CHORUS: 
well, i better keep the curtains closed 
and hope the fire fades out
gotta keep the curtains closed
what would i be without 
i have to keep the curtains closed 
please, oh, please just stay out  
but then they can’t hear me shout 
 
BRIDGE: 
(we are so stuck, we are so stuck, we are so stuck)
(pull me from the mud, pull me from the mud, pull me from the mud)

CHORUS:
well, i better keep the curtains closed 
and hope the fire fades out
gotta keep the curtains closed

CHORUS:
well, i better keep the curtains closed 
and hope the fire fades out
gotta keep the curtains closed
what would i be without 
i have to keep the curtains closed 
please, oh, please, just stay out  
but then they can’t hear me shout

OUTRO:
trying people on, seeing if they fit 
but if they don’t, you are… stuck.

VERSE: 
draw me near
hold me close to you
cause you’ve got the heat 
wanna feel it burning through 

i can’t stay alive 
when it’s freezing in my room 
there’s a howling gale
and the windows are no use

PRE-CHORUS:
so tell me, are you coming soon? 
my fingers are turning blue 

CHORUS:
but i feel it in my body
swimming in my bones
brewing kerosene inside me
my chest starts to groan 
now i know you will; i know you will
know you’ll start a wildfire
to keep me from the cold 

VERSE: 
i know you’re in your head 
you don’t know what to decide
seeing in infrared 
you’re a moth resisting light 

i’m waiting for the burn
but there’s not a flame in sight 
will it ever come?
yeah, i pray i got it right 

PRE-CHORUS:
so tell me, are you coming soon? 
my fingers are turning blue 

CHORUS: 
but i feel it in my body
swimming in my bones
brewing kerosene inside me
my chest starts to groan 
and i know you will; know you will
know you’ll start a wildfire
to keep me from the cold 

BRIDGE:
but, i can’t keep this fire 
burning on my own
when you leave me all alone 
can you give your desires,
let ‘em fuel my own?

CHORUS: 
but i feel it in my body
swimming in my bones
brewing kerosene inside me
my chest starts to groan 
oh, i know you will; know you will
know you’ll start a wildfire
to keep me from the cold

know you’ll start a wildfire 
to keep me from the cold
