CARRYING ME
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I’M FLOATING ON AN OPEN SEA
AND IT’S CARRYING ME CARRYING ME
THEN I’M DRIFTING THROUGH THE AIR LIKE A GENTLE BREEZE AND IT’S CARRYING ME CARRYING ME
HERE I AM LOOKING AT YOU
HOLD MY HAND AND GET ME THROUGH
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I’M LYING ON AN EMPTY BEACH
AND IT’S CARRYING ME CARRYING ME
AND UP ABOVE ME ARE THE STARS AS FAR AS I CAN SEE
AND THEY’RE CARRYING ME CARRYING ME
HERE I AM LOOKING AT YOU
HOLD MY HAND YOU GET ME THROUGH
SOMETIMES I STAND BEHIND A WALL
THERE’S NOTHING I CAN SEE AND
YOUR CARRYING ME CARRYING ME
YOUR CARRYING ME CARRYING ME
YOUR CARRYING ME CARRYING ME
Ducking and diving running and hiding
Where will it all end?
Hard to believer what kind of leader
Godless no god send
We need more not less
Love happiness
World without war we deserve more
Hard to find but we can't rewind
It's only logical
Misbelievin but keep on standing up
Try to hide but we can't decide
All so cynical
Got a hold with on my finger on the pulse
Feel the pulse
Live for the freedom take em or leave em
Where will it all end?
Under coercion feeling more certain
We gonna make amends
We need more not less
Love happiness
World without war we deserve more
All you wanted was a martyr’s badge
To drown in sweet vermouth
But I can only give you so much
And the line is becoming clear
Maybe you just like the drama
The poison in the atmosphere
Cold suspicion
No matter what I say
you told your fiction
I’ll never get away
Can’t ever get away
You could find a rival
On a desert isle
You can sense a motive
In the Dalai Lama’s smile
But I’ve been rank and file, girl
I never stepped on you
You can think about it
I’ve got other things to do
Cold suspicion
No matter what I say
you told your fiction
I’ll never get away
Can’t ever get away
Have you been muddied by the water?
Have you been trying to gain your sight?
Have you been wondering what comes after?
Are you ready to take flight?
Yeah, we all want to be healed
We all want to feel, something that's good
Yeah, we all need to get close
We all ned to shake loose, you know that we should
Underneath it all we're wearing the same souls
And we all know we'll fall and start to lose control
Underneath it all we want to play the part
Of the prince or the princess who beats the broken heart
We're all cowards in our own tombs
Frightened of the light of day
We like to see ourselves in ruins
But there must be a better way
Yeah, we all want to be loved
But is that enough to carry us through
Just when we think we can be real
It ain't no big deal, you know that's the truth
Underneath it all we're wearing the same souls
And we all know we'll fall and start to lose control
Underneath it all we want to play the part
Of the prince or the princess who beats the broken heart
gtr solo
Underneath it all we're wearing the same souls
And we all know we'll fall and start to lose control
Underneath it all we want to play the part
Of the prince or the princess who beats the broken heart
I Ended Up With You 3-27-17
I told you I was trouble,a long time ago
You said no need to worry
You could go with the flow
Pre-Chorus: And now that we are family
And many years have passed
I still wonder how and why
I ended up with you
Chorus: I ended up with you
The rest is history
It couldn’t have turned out better
If I’d planned it myself
You knew I was crazy,a long time ago
I felt like I was so lazy
You say it ain’t so
Pre-Chorus:
Chorus….Break
I hope we grow old together,In love til the end
Our souls are bound together
You’re my very best friend
Pre-Chorus:
Chorus…..out
about
The assignment this week comes from DD:
“Let’s start with rhythm this week. Find a rhythm from an existing song that you like - a drumbeat, a strumming or arpeggio pattern, any kind of specific rhythm - and pattern your writing on that. You can sample a beat, recreate a drum beat, or otherwise be influenced by the rhythm. And of course, the rhythm may change and evolve as you write; that’s fine, as long as you begin somewhere specific. When you post your song, please include a link to the original rhythm.”
