Twenty Three
Music and lyrics: Charlie Gore

We're driving with the windows down
The sun is on our skin, the music's way too loud
And you ask me, "are you feeling proud?"
There's no place that I'd rather be than here with you right now

And we're twenty three living out our dreams
It's just you and me alive

So take my hand and let's just go
I promise that you'll star in our own picture show
Just love me like the world might end
Who cares if we're just young, there's so much life to live
And no matter what we'll do
I'll still be twenty three with you

You tell me that the timing's right
To grab another bottle, we'll stay up late tonight
And I'll hold you, kiss you once or twice
There's no more turning back 'cause we both feel the morning light

And we're twenty three living out our dreams
It's just you and me tonight

So take my hand and let's just go
I promise that you'll star in our own picture show
Just love me like the world might end
Who cares if we're just young, there's so much life to live
And no matter what we'll do
I'll still be twenty three with you

And no matter what we'll do
I'll still be twenty three with you


Twenty Three - Charlie Gore - THE BEAT

The Beat
Music and lyrics: Charlie Gore

You're searching for the reason in all I do
And I can't stand the teasing you put me through
Our love don't need an answer when it feels so right
So I tell you that I'm sorry and we'll own the night
Well, I'm a fool for you and I know you love me too

You know that we will make it down this broken road
You say "the time is slipping, let's just run away"
And I feel the beat inside, it's kicking like a drum
That you're the only one, oh, we can overcome

You know I'll love you better than before
You say "it's now or never, the ship's on shore"
I know, baby I know, the time is now
Stand up, I'll just stand up and sing it loud
That I'm a fool for you and I know you love me too

You know that we will make it down this broken road
You say "the time is slipping, let's just run away"
And I feel the beat inside, it's kicking like a drum
That you're the only one, oh, we can overcome

You take my hand, I'll hold you close
You'll understand that you'll never have to be alone

You know that we will make it down the broken road
You say "the time is slipping, let's just run away"
And I feel the beat inside, it's kicking like a drum
That you're the only one

You know that we will make it down this broken road
You say "the time is slipping, let's just run away"
And I feel the beat inside, it's kicking like a drum
That you're the only one, oh, we can overcome

The Beat

I Am Yours, You Are Mine
Music and Lyrics: Charlie Gore

I'm not afraid of the world, I'm gonna find peace with my big city girl
Share my love and a bottle of wine, we'll get drunk and have a good time

But it's not like we're stuck in a hurry
Baby we've got all the time
You won't ever have to worry
I am yours and you are mine
Yes, I am yours and you are mine

I'm addicted to you, I wanna find out all you can do
Can you save the world? Start a fire in the darkened soul of the tired?

But it's not like we're stuck in a hurry
Baby we've got all the time
You won't ever have to worry
I am yours and you are mine
Yes, I am yours and you are mine


I Am Yours, You Are Mine

First attempt at recording with Logic Pro - Done in a couple hours. The bridge needs work/an attempt.

"Missing Piece"
Written/produced/recorded by Charlie Gore

Baby I confess, I am such a mess
Ever since you walked, walked out of the door
Trying to forget the crazy words we said
Thinking that they can't hurt me anymore

How will I fall asleep if you are not next to me?
You were the missing piece, you were my everything
You watched it burn without a fight
You left me in the darkest of lonely nights and it just ain't right

Drinking just makes sense to drown loneliness
But pour me something to keep the edge off
'Cause what you put me through the whiskey wont undo
I'm picking up the mess that you made when you left

How will I fall asleep if you are not next to me?
You were the missing piece, you were my everything
You watched it burn without a fight
You left me in the darkest of lonely nights and it just ain't right

Keep on moving, I'll keep on moving...

How will I fall asleep if you are not next to me?
You were the missing piece, you were my everything
You watched it burn without a fight
You left me in the darkest of lonely nights and it just ain't right

Missing Piece - AUGUST 16 DEMO

Just started a new songwriting club and this was Week 1's song

I haven't seen you since the last of fall
That November really took it all
Not just the words that you chose say
It's that you couldn't give me just one more day to

Make up the bed, pick up the floor
Be everything we were fighting for
Let down my guard, make you my last
Now I'm just hoping I can get you back in my life
Just one more night

I keep remembering the smallest things
Dancing in rain drops every other spring
Stomping thru puddles in our brand new shoes
Now I'd give anything to be back there with you

Make up the bed, pick up the floor
Be everything we were fighting for
Let down my guard, make you my last
Now I'm just hoping I can get you back in my life
Just one more night

One More Night

Here's week two of the songwriting club - tried my hand a little beats. Still working on the production and recording aspect.


Charlie Gore - Week 2 - Because Of You

Week 4 of Songwriter's Club - Take You Home

Lovable loser, heartache abuser
Sitting in the corner of the room
Willing and able, not very stable
But I’ll do my best if I’m with you
 
So lemme take you home, you’re searching for that someone
To take you home, I’ll be that man tonight
You’ll never be alone, I promise girl when they turn out the lights
I’ll be right by your side, I’m gonna love you all night
 
You’re needing someone, to love when the day’s done
I’ll put my heart to the test
You’re tired of fighting for a little bit of that lightning
That sparks the end of loneliness
 
I can see why you’re sick of playing those games
They always quit too short of the finish
But I will keep fighting to keep our love aflame
I swear I’ll change your name, I swear I’ll change your name

Charlie Gore - Week 4 - Take You Home

Here's song number 7 in the Songwriters Club

LOVE

It’s been a couple months since I took your hand
But it feels like yesterday
Cause every time we touch, fire in my veins
And this feeling will never change

So love, every single thing you do is love
Every little breath you take is love
I don’t wanna feel it fading, love, love

Walk on over here and take it love
Every single night we’ll make it love
Never wanna feel this fading love, love

Look into your eyes, I can’t break away
Now I’m drowning in your touch
Like an orange little pill (devil), I take you every day
I can never take too much

So love, every single thing you do is love
Every little breath you take is love
I don’t wanna feel it fading, love, love

Walk on over here and take it love
Every single night we’ll make it love
Never wanna feel this fading love, love

After long work days I’m coming home to you
And I can’t wait my dear till we make this more than two


Charlie Gore - Week 7 - LOVE

This is Week 8 in the Songwriters Club:

Better Man In Me

I was nothing but trouble, been a years worth of drinking
I was stuck in this bubble, oh with no sign of leaving
Till you filled me with something, to make me wanna put my head on straight
Loneliness was never my fate BUT

Tread light on my heart tonight
I'm a broken man, clinging to life
It's only a phase I'm in, I promise you'll see
There's a better man in me

Oh she left me with nothing, but i'm over the missin'
Every piece that was broken, now it's my turn for fixin'
And I know you been patient, I feel I'm this close to breaking free
You will see a brand new me

Tread light on my heart tonight
I'm a broken man, clinging to life
It's only a phase I'm in, I promise you'll see
There's a better man in me (repeat)

Charlie Gore - Better Man In Me

Here's week 9 from the Songwriters Club - I wanted to try something a little different. Channeled my inner Mikky Ekko. The ending is my favorite part.

One More Try

I don't know what I should do
Cause everything I ever knew
Led me here straight to you

These words I've written by myself
I don't say 'em to nobody else
I'm praying that they'll make it thru

I don't know why I'm so weak
I can barely stand up on my feet
Hoping it's enough to see

Cause I ain't even asking for your hand in marriage
I just wanna give this one more try
And if you see it my way girl why don't you just stay
With me till the morning comes alive
Baby give us one more try

I say what I know, know what I mean
Heart in my hand, make you believe
That I'm a changed man, I got goosebumps all over my skin

And the old me woulda been afraid
But the new me never walks away
I promise I'm here to stay

It's only right that I lay it out tonight
And let you decide for yourself

One More Try

Just a little cover of "Things Have Changed" - Not my usual style, but I think it turned out pretty great!
