With the exception of about three artists up until now, I've never been one for albums or one-band playlists. Until now. This week I am a two sided coin, with Boys Like Girls on one side and Carbon Leaf on the other. Today I lay Carbon-Leaf-side-up.
I've been trying to write poetry and/or lyrics for the last several months, all to no avail. These guys do it so much better.
live a life less ordinary
live a life extrordinary with me
live a life less sedetary
live a life revolutionary with me
well I hate to be a bother
but it's you and there's no other
I do believe
you can call me nieve
but I know me very well
at least as far as I can tell
and I know what I need
This is what I wish I had- the simple candor to say exactly what I mean without being cliche or trite or pretentious.
if I could name you in this song
would it make you smile and sing along?
this is the goal:
to get into your soul
if I could make you dance for joy
could that be the second chance decoy
the burning hand
I would need
to help you understand?
Maybe someday I'll get there. Funny how helpful the words of others can be!
I wish I could write poetry too. Somehow, it so rarely flows from me, and poetry is slaughtered when the technical doesn't flow. I guess I must resign myself to my fate - a Prosaic Philistine. ;-)
