Day 4/30 of the 30 day songwriting challenge

1997 Emily and Evan
2003 was the last time that I saw them oh
xo xo my love
xo xo my love
hold to the promise of forever

wave at the cars as they pass me by
I’ll never make it past the county line
But I like it right here
I’ll stay right here as the years go by
I’ll be around to testify
the dates and letters that once meant so much

I bare my scars
and they bare theirs less visibly but still
my shedding skin
and rotting arms will carry them until I’m all gone

wave at the cars as they pass me by
I’ll never make it past the county line
But I like it right here
I’ll stay right here as the years go by
I’ll be around to testify
the dates and letters that once meant so much

Day 4.30 XOXO

I'm home too much I'm out too long
Never in between
When I turn knobs I turn them wrong
It's more than unlucky
I may not get it right but at least I try
I put on one sock inside out too consistently
And when my parents text I reply intermittently
I may not get it right but at least I try
I write a lot of songs exactly once a year
And they are not on time but at least I make it clear
I may not get it right but at least I try

Day 7 - At Least I Try

warm soft pink smile
Hands still strong and able
Let’s have a dance let’s take a ride, take a ride
You like fun, you like sun you like music turned up loud
You like smoke you like the run you like trying to be found

The window
It calls you, it calls your name to go
lights flashing brightly, red, blue let’s give them all a show
The window
It calls you, it calls your name to go
Tell those who loved him and love you
They’ve got no right to know

Slow down
You can figure this thing out
Past the smell of beer there’s chemicals burning here
I’m burning too
let it out, let this fire spread to you

The window
It calls you, it calls your name to go
lights flashing brightly, red, blue let’s give them all a show
The window
It calls you, it calls your name to go
Tell those who loved him and love you
They’ve got no right to know

Day 1 - The Window

The last you saw of Evelyn
Her eyes were looking light green

She looked more lost than she’s ever been
And you’ve known her since you were both teens

It’s so strange when you fall in love
The light in her hair takes a hold of
It’s so strange when you fall in love
She’s looking like you’ve never seen
Her eyes were shining bright green

She said take my hand and be a friend
it’s too late now and we can’t pretend
Tell me now I won’t ask again
Do you really wanna be with me
Her eyes were looking light green

And you’re more lost now than you’ve ever been
Cause you’re lonely and its twisted you inside your head
before you speak just think again
Just remember that you’re talking to Evelyn

Whistle *ft Sam*

t’s so strange when you fall in love
The light in her hair takes a hold of
Before you speak just think again
There’s more than one way to lose Evelyn

Evelyn

Day 3 - Lions?

Day 4 - Dog Song

No rhymes, 2 chords, and had to be about summer love

Day 5 - Burnt Sugar

I Give Up (but Clearly I Don't)

Lyrics:
I’m not scared
I’m not scared
I’m not worried 

I heard it goes to the river
Says the man next to me
He only went downstairs to see if there’s coffee there
But the cafe’s closing up
Nothing left to do

He’s not scared
He's not scared
He's not worried because

New York is lit up by the stars tonight
No artificial light tonight
Said that the band can’t play so they take to the streets
Everyone still sings just for the love of it all

They’re not scared
They're not scared
They're not worried

People coming from the subway looking worse for the wear
Said that they’d spent nearly two hours there
No phones no trains no light that remains
Just the thought of their other ones hoping that

They’re not scared
They're not scared
They're not worried

New York is lit up by the stars tonight
No artificial light tonight
Said that the band can’t play so they take to the streets
Everyone still sings just for the love of it all

Not Scared

This account is to post my contributions for the 30 day songwriting challenge where a bunch of crazy folks write a song everyday for a month and share it, no matter how bad it may be. That pretty much sums it up
