I’ve been thinking. I think I want to write a song based on our physical senses. Something like it. Maybe. We’ll see.
Can you see me?
Can you taste me?
Can you smell me?
Can you hear me?
Can you touch me?
At the end of the day can you feel me?
“Hold” – by Saves the Day. I love this band. They have done so much in such a broad spectrum. I’ve been feeling down in the dumps lately due to many extenuating circumstances–and I can’t tell whether this song makes me feel better or worse. But no matter what, the last line of the song sums it all up perfectly. I wouldn’t mind being held for a little bit. I could use a real big hug. Until then…
Oh well, you’ve got me under your spell
and I don’t think that I’m kidding around. I don’t think I can forget you now.
I once sat up on my roof and examined the planning of my town.
I saw the structured grid and pavement cutting through grass
and I remembered the cold of winter running up the legs of my pants.
I picked the nicest lawn and imagined the two of us
rolling around down along the ground.
I saw myself touch your face and I noticed jets begin to race above our heads.
But I pinched my arm and remembered how much you hate me.
I remembered the fact that I can’t see what you need
and I’m too stupid to be aware of the beauty that you give this place
and how shitty this town would seem without you in it.
When you aren’t around I let the shades fall down to shut out
all the sun’s light and make myself feel all right.
What am I doing with my life?
Remember that the only things we need sometimes
are chilly nights and warmer thighs,
’cause there’s nothing like being held sometimes.
i know its hard to believe me right now
but we can sneak out of here without a sound
while the lights are low
lets hit the road
if theres ever a chance for us its tonight
its 4am but the stars are still so bright
they shone on through the night
can we take a ride?
lets drive east til the sunrise blinds our eyes
we’ll step out into the brand new morning light
breathe the air so we feel like we’re alive
actions show more than words will ever do
your eyes never lie, they wont betray you
its hard to see the way you look at me
and i know there is still hope for us
all it may take is some is some time and some newfound trust
so we can shake off the rust that has built up
can we take a ride?
lets drive east til the sunrise blinds our eyes
we’ll step out into the brand new morning light
breathe the air so we feel like we’re alive
so you said,
‘i gotta be honest den,
i’m burned out and broken
tired of choking on air that i cannot breathe’
and i said,
‘the sunrise can fix this
just give me your hand we’ll run in the sand
its time for us both to leave’
can we take a ride?
lets drive east til the sunrise blinds our eyes
rough lyrics for now, hopefully recorded soon.
