OK, so I wrote a song. And I like it. It's the first successful attempt I've made at writing a song with music and lyrics. And I think it sounds pretty good. I'm just wondering, are the lyrics too cliche? I don't know. I'm starting to think it's an overused theme. Love compared to a drowning. Love compared to sailing. The whole water theme. I'm just not sure.
If I wanna be a singer-songwriter, I'm gonna need a style.
"Drowning In You"
Your eyes are oceans that I'm sailing through
Drifting deep in your expanse of blue
Searching for familiar things but it's all new
I'm drowning in you
I'm drowning in you
[Chorus]
The undertow of you heart is
Dragging me down
And the more I try to resist this
The faster I drown
I wanna turn around
But it's too late now
I'm drowning in you
I'm drowning in you
Your smile's a sea of the mystery inside
Revealing secrets you were trying to hide
I'd like to explore your shores if you don't mind
I'm drowning in you
I'm drowning in you
[Chorus]
Your hands are rivers flowing across my skin
Telling tales of their travels, and where they've been
Only now do I remember...I can't swim
I'm drowning in you
I'm drowning in you
[Chorus]
I need a style.
