Some Things You'll Never Change (The Spirit Poets) For Dutchbeat

As We Lay
 
Love.
Lust.
Fuel my desire.
Her divine aroma
Sets my senses on fire.
Taking me higher.
Don’t want to come down.
On a mission to explore her.
Ecstasy bound.

Lips so soft and sweet
As they become one with mine.
So wet and luscious.
Inhibitions left behind.

My tongue searches
For her delectable essence.
Probing deeper and deeper.
I just might keep her
Entangled in the web of my arms.
Holding her captive,
But she don’t want to be free.
Together blissfully.

As we lay.

A friend of mine asked my advice
Met a girl on line - she seemed real nice
She said "Send me cash and I'll book a flight
We'll have a blast this Friday night!"

Well he looked at me, and I looked at him
'Thought I'd agree, but I said "now Jim..
You've been around so I'm pretty sure
That you've been down that road before"

You've been down that road before
Got the T-Shirt when you took the tour
Sometimes a sign should be ignored
When you've been down that road before

Despite my advice, he sent the dough
Surprise, surprise - she never showed
And now he's cryin' but he should have known
That girl had lied and now she's gone, gone, gone

You've been down that road before
You bought the T-Shirt, in that crumby store
Sometimes a sign should be ignored
When you've been down that road before

Now, you and I, we took that ride
You packed for "forever", but I travel light
Now I come to town, but you bolt the door
Cause you've been down that road before

You've been down that road before
You bought that T-shirt that I never wore
Now I'm a guy that you ignore
'Cause you've been down that road before

We choose the road we think is best
But we use a broken GPS
See our mistake, so we turn around
But it's too late - our love is gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone!

You've been down that road before
Got the bumper sticker for your fancy Ford!
You're still the one that I adore...
But you've been down that road before! 

You've Been Down that Road Before

New York idea

Just in time for the New Year, an unlikely song about keeping your hopes up and never relenting - to appreciate the journey and to always move forward, upward, and onward.

This song was written as my entry for the friendly/not-friendly(?) competition on the Songwriters In The Kitchen songwriting forum.  The theme was simply a new year's song.  I toyed with the idea of a party song, or one about the odd ritual of celebrating such an arbitrary point in time and hanging all your hopes onto a move away from the past and into the future.  

I wanted to create the sense of moving and looking forward and being hopeful - the kind of new yearsy feeling that I think we need to hear, but at the same time, it's meant to be an almost meditative song about wanting to be that driving force that can withstand all that life brings, starting from the opening mantra of wanting to be the wave that can erode the jagged rocks at the bottom of a waterfall - and how regret, fear of failure and loss, and settling for the status quo can trap us in place.  Thus the quiet build-up as a way to imagine that eventual rush towards the falls, not in defeat and resignation, but to embody the confidence and strength of the water against rock that will always win in the end.

Here are the lyrics:

Wave upon wave wash upon the shore
Til centuries of rock are no more
All silica and sand - soft in your hands

Clouds darken and the rain may fall
as-the earth collects and guides it all into 
brooks and streams. These are our dreams

I want to be the wave 
I want to live my dreams 

As we're headed towards the waterfall why do we 
fight about who's got the better view
why discriminate as the drop awaits

We fear the unknown and mourn the loss
of familiar things with familiar costs
hardened with age, we turn the page

I want to be the wave 
I want to know your dreams
I want to trace the
constellations on your skin

In all that we lost
We have been found
Hope abounds 
Hear the sound 
It rings aloud, high above
Love

Say hello to our history because we've been here before
And we know what to do - we know now what to do 
it may take all of our time and strength but If we teach ourselves nothing 
then nothing is all we'll ever do

I want to be the wave
I want to know your dreams
I want to remember the taste
and the way you looked at me

In all that we lost
we have been found
Hope abounds 
Hear the sound 
It rings aloud, high above
(Love)
This is our life
these are our dreams
courage to love
courage to be
awaken your heart
see what i see
the future awaits
dream it with me

Because if you've got me, tell me you got me, I’ll go
cuz I got you, baby come on, let's go
Don’t wait another second – we’re out of time
don’t need to tell me – tell me I’m out of my mind

Because if you've got me, tell me you got me, I’ll go
cuz I got you, baby come on, let's go
don’t need to tell me – tell me  I’m out of my mind
It’s about … it’s about time
All we got is time.
