Brilliant! The sort of music Matthew Sweet could be making. Love the chorus. And the verse. And tge other bits.

That last chorus is SO GOOD. This is my new favorite from you.

Those first two lines are so funny!  Love it.

O please just stop it drop those lines
the tortured heart has no disguise 
Don’t even try to find a way thru
That road is shut 
and we are  stuck here 
me  and you 
 
do do do do 
Me and you 

So let me look you in the eye 
let me remind you of my heart 
I’m here until the race is thru
I run for both of us 
for me and you 

I’ll hold the torch light 
So you can see ahead 
You know my voice so
 remember what I’ve said
No fear will rise up 
we can’t consume 

Do do do  me and you

me and you week11SAW19

She tries to tell him that rock is dead and he says, "rocks are inanimate objects"
He tries to take her back into bed and she says, "I don't need any more projects"

And it's never enough as you know you are looking it now
His head is adhered to the stratosphere while feet are attached to the ground
And it's stranger than strange when 'estranged' becomes 'the stranger'
When you've changed out of range and you don't sense any danger 
well there's never enough of it

He makes a plan and can't stick to it and so she leaves again in the morning
She packs her bags, she hangs up the phone and leaves without any kind of warning

And it's never enough as you wait and  you wait for it now
Your feet are adhered to the stratosphere your head just smashed into the ground
And it's stranger than strange when 'estranged' becomes 'the stranger'
Like you've changed out of range and there's never any danger 
and you can't get enough of it

Syel Offendell, Onward!

Of all the places I’ve traveled, I’ve never been to Mexico!!

I wrote this in 2018 with piano.  Many changes to this version: lyrics, chords, and I wrote a melody.  There are a number of rhythm problems, and perhaps one day the guitar will sound better, but overall a lot of improvements from the 2018 version.

Mexico

I lost one eye in Mexico
Traveling to avoid the winter snow
In the west, an amber crimson glow
From the sun in the sky down below

Back home, I covered my wound with care
A man looks up from his newspaper to stare

He offered wise words before my story had been heard

I’ve seen grass a little greener
I’ve seen streets a little cleaner
But down in Mexico was the last time I felt whole
So let me dream of the next time I go to Mexico

I lost my love in Mexico
Happened right in front of my two eyes
In his chest, an amber crimson flow
And a memory of a hasty goodbye

Back home, a woman looks up to listen
She turns away when I say I miss him

I’m not asking for your pity, same thing happens in our city

I’ve seen grass a little greener
I’ve seen streets a little cleaner
But down in Mexico was the last time I felt whole
So let me dream of the next time I go to Mexico

Mexico 2019

Easier (heads, shoulders, knees and toes)

Woke up yesterday morning feeling so damn fine 
Except for the thought I can't erase - once again, your face -
running through my mind
Then I looked outside and noticed; I looked not far away
In case you hadn't opened up your eyes the sun came out today

And I'm feeling fine
I'm feeling like the first time
your memory doesn't hurt me anymore
and I can't rewind, can't look back in retrospect
because I know that there's a place for you somewhere
but that place ain't in my heart no more
Finally found out what this is for.
This old city's dead to me:
Feeling good, Miss Flannery.

Walked outside the other day and I smelled you in the air
When I catch a little glimpse of something on the ground and I just can't help but stare
In a moment all has vanished, but the vacancy doesn't return
So I know it's about time for me to pack my bags and drive without return

Because I'm fine I finally found the first sign
And I know that nothing matters anymore
And I won't rewind,  can't look back in retrospect at all the
mountains of neglect that piled up around our door
I don't need to remember anymore
I'm not done yet
Can't look back with a regret
Feeling good...

And I've felt like this before
And I've never wanted anything more
Never seen a face a like yours

And I'm feeling fine 
I've finally found the first sign
I know I can't remember anymore
I won't rewind, won't look back in retrospect.
because I know that there's a place for you somewhere
but that place ain't in my heart no more
Finally found out what this life is for.
Your love is dead to me:
Feeling good, Miss Flannery.
