Sailing the Sun

10th December 2016

Sorry

Verse 1
The air is cool in early March
Especially under tree cover
We walk on leaf-covered trails
Studying the details
Trees look naked without leaves
And you look away when I speak
It's hard enough walking
With someone who's silent

Bridge
We're going down I can see it
We're going down I can see it

Chorus
I don't want to fall out of touch
Trip off the edge of the cliff we're on
It's fragile isn't it
The dirt at the edge of the canyon
Pull me back when I get close
I'm testing you seeing if you'll
Take my hand or watch me slip away
I'm not afraid of the edge if I know you'll reach

Verse 2
Remember when being tangled up was a good thing
Now it's suffocating
I remember blushing when you pulled me in
That's a long lost feeling now

Bridge
We're going down I can see it
We're going down I can see it

Chorus
I don't want to fall out of touch
Trip off the edge of the cliff we're on
It's fragile isn't it
The dirt at the edge of the canyon
Pull me back when I get close
I'm testing you seeing if you'll
Take my hand or watch me slip away
I'm not afraid of the edge if I know you'll reach

Bridge
I'm not afraid
Take my hand

Chorus x2
I don't want to fall out of touch
Trip off the edge of the cliff we're on
It's fragile isn't it
The dirt at the edge of the canyon
Pull me back when I get close
I'm testing you seeing if you'll
Take my hand or watch me slip away
I'm not afraid of the edge if I know you'll reach

Day 3 and song 3 of the 5 songs in 5 days challenge. Very rough cut.

Fate In The Desert (Rough Cut)

Prompt- it all happened before I could tell him

You stand there paralyzed unsure of what to say
Frozen and afraid not sure of the right way
To express the mess that you have made
Everything has happened so fast
You stand on a pile of decisions you regret
On a mission to repair what’s still there
But he just walks away

You always find the perfect words after the fact
You always draw the perfect card in the next hand
These aren’t the sort of things you can plan
But you wish you could change the past

There’s so many things I wish I could do differently
I try not to regret 
But I know that if I was then who I am now 
I would have said the things that I wish I could have said
It’s like I know where all the breaks in the road are
All the different paths and I know that I can pinpoint the moment 
That changed it all and just friggin laugh

Oh I always find the perfect words after the fact
I always draw the perfect card in the next hand
These aren’t the sort of things you can plan
But I wish you could change the past

Sometimes things flow so easily
Syncronicity is some inside joke 
Where you feel you are exactly where you need to be
Sometimes you gotta just make a choice
And be open to what you get
Life’s not a test it’s an improv set

Always find the perfect words after the fact
Always draw the perfect card in the next hand
These aren’t the sort of things you can plan
But you wish you could change the past

Hello welcome to the land of demos! My sound cloud profile is where I keep fresh tracks from songwriting challenges. The fully produced music will live elsewhere. My musical aesthetic is "folk rock cabaret" if you like Rachel Bloom, Tori Amos, Amanda Palmer, Regina Specktor and/or act 2 of your favorite musical then you'll like my stuff.
