This is a song I've been working on. I wrote the lyrics while at work the other day. There is too much atm to fit the song, so I'd really appreciate you guys telling me the bits you like the best so I can cut out the rubbish. Thanks.
...
The night was young
The city lights shone over the bridge
And we had another
And we had another til the sun came up, and our wallets were out
And the governments trying
The governments trying to put a stop to all this, cause it’s no way to live
We’re just paying the price
Just ten dollars entry for an interesting night, an interesting night
An interesting night, an interesting night
Oh
We drove into town
We drove into town with dust on the dash
And I don’t know
I guess I just like it when friends are around, when our voices are loud
I was never much good
I was never much good at talking to people, but I found a way
Yeah there’s life skills we miss
But there’s a life that we miss if we’re down on ourselves, so I’ll be all right
I’ll be all right, I’ll be all right
I’ll be all right
And I’ll go to work
I’ll sell some drinks to make a wage for myself
And I’m talking to friends
I’m talking to friends about moving out
I get home each day
And I talk to my parents but I’ve got nothing to say
And I’m staying up nights
I’m staying up nights and watching some films
It’s all that we have
It’s all that we have and it is all we could need
Cause we don’t believe
No we don’t believe in anything, no not in anything
No not in anything
Do you remember that night?
Do you remember that night that I drove you home? Your boyfriend cheated on you
And I tried not to show
I tried not to show that I’d been waiting for this, for a year or so now
But it wasn’t too long
No no it wasn’t too long til you got back with him, and things were running ok
And now I try not to show
I keep it under control that I’m a little sad, and one day you’ll get married
But that’s OK, I’m happy for you
I’m happy
And I’m sure
I’m sure I fall in love almost every single day, but I don’t know what that means
And I looked in her eyes
And it was almost enough to believe in love, to believe in love
To believe in love, to believe in love
Oh
But when I look back
When I see where I’ve been I think I’ve come a long way, but I’ve been no where
And when I look out my window
I think if only people knew where I came from, maybe they’d understand
But sometimes all that you need
Is just a little something for things to work themselves out, to work themselves out
To work themselves out, to work themselves out
Oh
We’ve come that far
We’ve come that far and we can see it through
And in the morning we’ll wake
And we’ll find a hangover sleeping on the couch, and we’ll just laugh about
And we’ll find all the jokes
We’ll find all the jokes in the nights tragedies, and it’s all we can do
And it’s all we can do
And it’s all we can do til the next week comes, where we’ll do the same
Where we’ll do the same, where we’ll do the same
Oh who invented Sundays?
