End of beginning by djo - cover, feat my dog being super needy and whiny

djo - end of beginning cover (feat my dog who wants attention)

I was reading a story a friend of mine had written, and this kind of just flowed out.

V1
There’s something hanging in the air between us now
Don’t think that you’d believe the truth, from me, somehow
Br
We’re just so wrong, we could never be right
It’s so vague to me but it’s so clear in your mind
You’re certain when you say that we’ll be fine
ch
You’re too good, and I’m such a waste
Of your energy, I only know how to take
It’d be too damn cruel for me to watch you just break
You’re too good, and I’m such a waste
Of your energy, it’s a joke of fate
That we’d finally meet in this awful place
V2
There’s something hanging in the air keeping us apart
I don’t believe I could ever be worthy of your heart
Br
Your eyes widen as they meet mine
And we don’t know it yet, but I’m all out of time
It’s almost the end, it’s my life on the line
Ch
You’re too good, and I’m such a waste
Of your energy, I only know how to take
It’d be too damn cruel for me to watch you just break
You’re too good, and I’m such a waste
Of your energy, it’s a joke of fate
That I’d fall in love in this awful place
m8
I don’t deserve to get to want you
I don’t deserve to get to touch you
I don’t deserve to get to love you
I don’t deserve to get to want you
I don’t deserve to get to touch you
I don’t deserve to get to love you
Br
There’s something hanging in the air between us now…
Ch
You’re too good, and I’m such a waste
Of your energy, I only know how to take
It’d be too damn cruel for me to watch you just break
You’re too good, and I’m such a waste
Of your energy, it’s a joke of fate
That we’d fall in love in this awful place
Outro
There’s something hanging in the air



Hanging in the air

This song was also inspired by the same story a friend of mine wrote that inspired me to write my other song, Hanging in the Air. That song is from the perspective of the main character when he's in his early twenties, where as White Ribbon is from his perspective in his late 40's/early 50's when he finds his way back to his first love.

Verse 1
Breathing deep like I’m dumb enough to need to learn
Still paying for what I’m dumb enough to think I had to earn
Twenty letters I couldn’t send but I know I had to write
Two weeks, twenty years, it cut deep, I gave you the knife

Bridge 1
I ran away instead of facing up to it
I was just a kid but it was still shit, wasn’t it
Escape rope fraying, looked like I was bailing
Maybe someday I’ll stop fucking failing

Chorus
This is what we’ve been waiting for
White ribbon pulling us back together once more
This is what we’ve been searching for
White ribbon pulling us back together… once more, once more

Verse 2
Breathing deep like I’m still dumb enough, I never learn
I'm still acting like I’ve not done enough, like you’re something to earn
Twenty letters I couldn’t send but you had the right to know
Two weeks, thirty years, just look at how we’ve grown

Bridge 2
I ran away instead of facing up to it
I was just a kid but it still hurt you, didn’t it
Escape rope fraying, felt like I was failing
Maybe it’s time I stop fucking bailing

Chorus
This is what we’ve been waiting for
White ribbon pulling us back together once more
This is what we’ve been searching for
White ribbon pulling us back together… once more, once more

Middle 8
Half my life longing, gasping, but now you taste like my regrets
Brush your teeth real good, am I really what you want in the end
Wait wait wait, or I’ll give in and surrender
Wait wait wait, I wanna be like this forever

Chorus
This is what we’ve been waiting for
White ribbon pulling us back together once more
This is what we’ve been searching for
White ribbon pulling us back together… once more, once more

White Ribbon

Everything

I'm currently learning Korean, and wanted to write a song that was in both English and Korean.


I really, I really miss you
내가 꿈꿨어, 너 꿈꿔
I miss your eyes, I miss you lips
보고 싶어요, 보고 싶어

I feel like I've ceased to exist, I'm fading away
난 공허해요

Do you miss me? Are you thinking of me?
Are you curious? I'll be waiting
너 보고 싶니? 날 생각해? 
나 궁금해? 기다릴게

너 정말 그리워요
I've been dreaming, dreaming of you
당신의 눈 당신의 입술 
I really, really miss you 

사랑은 없어요
I feel empty

너 보고 싶니? 날 생각해? 
나 궁금해? 기다릴게
Do you miss me? Are you curious? 
Are you thinking of me? I'll be waiting
기다릴게

I don't want to miss you anymore
너 보고 싶지 않아
I don't want to see you anymore 
너 보고 싶지 않아

너 보고 싶니? 날 생각해
나 궁금해? 기다리지 않아

I'm no longer waiting
기다리지 않아
I don't want to wait

너 정말 그리워요
