SOME DAY

Something

From The Start

Troubles

Dont Call This Love

Another Lifetime: Melissa Joiner


In another life time
Somewhere far away
There’d be more than silence on our lips
No oceans in our way
We’d get higher than all our hopes
And sleep underneath the stars
Explore each other in the light of day 
And talk about old scars

There’d be no expiration
No prices to be paid
No one else to go home to this time
We’d make love stay
We’d make love stay 

We wouldn’t have to say goodbye
or stay up late on the phone
There’d be no reason to be afraid
Of us being alone
No limitations this time
Or things we shouldn’t say
We always did the right thing 
But this time there’s nothing in the way 

There’d be no expiration
No price to be paid
No one else to go home to this time
We’d make love stay
We’d make love stay 


 In another lifetime 
we made other plans
But now we’re with other people
And we told them that were just friends
 Maybe its for the better
That our story ended this way
But in that other lifetime darling 
we made love stay
we made love stay

Another Lifetime

This is my submission for a songwriting group I'm in.  The prompt/ line we had to use was: Your Love Is..

I want to climb up in your branches, pick an apple way up high
I want to get lost in you and fly up in your sky
I want to dance in your shadows, and fill you with my light
Wanna feel the way you move me when there is no wrong or right 

But can you tell me that you’ll catch me if I fall
Cuz if you can I will give you my all 

I’ll give you all of me that I am, everything that’s real 
I’ll give into what I’m feeling cuz I know that love can heal
Oh I’ll love you with arms wide open, freely in the sun 
With everything that I am, cuz you’re the only one
If you can you tell me that you’ll catch me if I fall. 

I want to dive into your waters, where most are scared to go
Swim deeper than your used to and let love take control 
Oh I’ll soar into your heaven, and hear your angels sing
Plant myself into your garden and crown you cuz your my king
If you can you tell me that you’ll catch me if I fall
Cuz if you can babe, I will give you my all
I’ll give you all of me that I am, everything I feel 
I’ll give into what I’m feeling cuz I know your love is real
Oh I’ll love you with arms wide open, freely in the sun 
With everything that I am, cuz you’re the only one
If you can you tell me that you’ll catch me if I fall.

Tell Me

I didn’t ask for perfect
And I never will
I just want you to be happy
and throw away the pills
It scares me when you call me
I worry when you don’t
A thousand miles between us
Feels even further on the phone
And it hurts me if I'm honest
So let me just be clear
Your'e hurting more than just yourself
Every time you disappear
A child needs their mother
A sister needs her friend
A mother needs a daughter
Do you understand?
Please don’t make me say goodbye
Please don’t make me say goodbye
Ill help you face your demons
If you can call them by their name
Admit that theres a problem
So we have a stake to claim
Ill help you find some answers
 to the questions in your mind
If you promise not to give up
We can fill in the blank lines
And it hurts me if I'm honest
So let me just be clear
Your'e hurting more than just yourself
Every time you disappear
A child needs their mother
A sister needs her friend
A mother needs a daughter
Do you understand?
Please don’t make me say goodbye
Please don’t make me say goodbye

Goodbye
