In my spare time, I like do a bit of song writing, not that I can sing or play an instrument but quite often I will get tunes in my head or words that sound as though they would make a really good song. Last night, it took me two hours to write a song called "Waiting".
I'll put the lyrics up to see what you all think of them, it's meant to be a guitar/ piano driven pop song, I spent a little while trying to turn it into a rock song but it didn't work out that way.
Waiting
Fell into an ocean of confusion
So I got swept out in the tide
It doesn't seem to matter what I do
I can't escape the feeling of the current
Holding me back
Smashing my tired body to the bone
I spent part of my life just waiting on the shore
Now here I am with the sea of fools
Who don’t know what to do
Except waiting for someone to come and rescue me
Waiting for something that probably won't arrive
In time
Waiting for someone to save me from dying here
Before all my dreams come to nothing
Now I'm just waiting for you tonight
Feel like I'm losing a battle
I should be winning
I should be on the golden sand
I try to fight the ocean of green
But it keeps on pushing me back
Pushing me away from you
I spent part of my life just waiting on the shore
Now here I am with the sea of fools
Who don’t know what to do
Except waiting for someone to come and rescue me
Waiting for something that probably won't arrive
In time
Waiting for someone to save me from dying here
Before all my dreams come to nothing
Now I'm just waiting for you tonight
Tonight seems so far away
I just want the touch of your hand
To rescue me from the sharks
That keeps on circling me
I spent part of my life just waiting on the shore
Now here I am with the sea of fools
Who don’t know what to do
Except waiting for someone to come and rescue me
Waiting for something that probably won't arrive
In time
Waiting for someone to save me from dying here
Before all my dreams
Before all my dreams come to nothing
Now I'm just waiting for you tonight
Waiting
