Verse 1 I didn’t fall in love at 17 with a cheerleader or a homecoming queen these things didn’t matter- clothes- old or new or the people you ran with, as long as I had you Chorus1 As long as I had you The world kept spinning long summer days were always at the beginning As long as I had you Verse 2 I didn’t fall in love back in my 20’s with a college girl who’s only looking for money These things didn’t matter- you car or your shoes Or what was in your apartment, as long as I had you Chorus 2 As long as I had you the nights seemed longer with you in my arms my heart was beating stronger As long as I had you Verse 3 I didn’t fall in love when I was in my 30’s with anyone else cause I was still flirting with the one I found back when I found you I’m gonna keep holding on so I’ll have you Chorus 3 As long as I had you The world kept spinning long summer days were always at the beginning As long as I had you the nights seemed longer with you in my arms my heart was beating stronger As long as I had you As long as I have you

I'm tired of your guff, baby get off my back, you're like a heart attack you leave me cold how do you make such noise you're like a record baby skipping like the beat of my heart heart is heavy hard to tie you down tight as a knot, not not never knowing how you really feel take it, take it back, dark as carbon black never left your side, you see you've been set to stun like a gatling gun don't you think you're fancy free when you built the Sphinx did you think you'd be sinking in the sands of another age? I think you'd better think for the long haul hall of mirrors smoking you out smoking you out again you should have seen it coming should've trusted me to act but you were swinging hammers in a suicide pact and now that you have learned you could've used a softer touch you doth protest too much and for the record I would like to add in my defense you're the one that's guilty of capital offense and in summation, my duration, lest you be confused is considerable, and I'm still here I can see for miles, and I can see a lot of fools no one's got the guts to come around and break your rules seven hundred men couldn't tear it down, the wall of truth I'm the only one who's standing here, and there's your proof it's proof to you

There’s a Monster at the End of This Song I’m gonna smile again I’m not gonna fall again I’m gonna be strong There’s a Monster at the End of This Song You’re not gonna hit me anymore You started this war I’m not just a hole to throw your trash in I won’t take it anymore You’ve awakened the sleeping giant You might want to run I’m gonna rise out of the sea And rain down on you You’re not gonna beat me There’s a Monster at the End of This Song And I’m way beyond just trying to get along I’m gonna smile again I’m not gonna fall again I’m gonna be strong There’s a Monster at the End of This Song Well my rage is so much bigger Than the abuse that you deliver The oppression’s in the past Now it’s time to break the glass You’re gonna wish you ran away From somebody’s baby girl You’re gonna have some shock & awe When the giant claw comes down and changes your world There’s a Monster at the End of This Song And I’m way beyond just trying to get along I’m gonna smile again I’m not gonna fall again There’s a Monster at the End of This Song By the time this song is through I’m gonna know just what to do I’m not alone and I can win I refuse to ever let it happen again You can hear me getting closer from miles away And remembering every blow I’ll spread my wings This will be the final day There’s a Monster at the End of This Song And I’m way beyond just trying to get along I’m gonna smile again I’m not gonna fall again There’s a Monster at the End of This Song I’m gonna smile again I’m not gonna fall again I’m gonna be strong There’s a Monster at the End of This Song

I'm a roll right now 13 bodies 13 towns Little pieces all they found Voices inside my head Take my pill put them to bed Never listened to a word they said I Cant change anything Don't wanna deal with the devil again Shake my hands with an attitude This time I have to choose I'm not letting go I'm not giving in You're not going to change this It's my only sin Can't make it go away Its coming from within People call me crazy The cycle never ends Here I go again It starts to rot away Hurts so much I gotta. say Down deep it will remain Take off to another place No one to stop no one to play Move on to another day It keeps on haunting me Doesn't matter if they beg or they plead Made a choice They could never see I can not let them live I'm not letting go I'm not giving in You're not going to change this It's my only sin Can't make it go away Its coming from within People call me crazy The cycle never ends Here I go again For awhile, the pain is pleasing Then I wake and I know I'm not let go I'm not giving in You're not going to change this It's my only sin Can't make it go away Its coming from within People call me crazy The cycle never ends Here I go again

Some are lost Some are searching all the time For a moment, for a sign of Something true I find light, in the little things each day I found peace, in a way I never knew It's all in front of you... Your call, you can stand for something Don't fall pretty little nuthin It's up to you This time, you can have it your way Stand tall, not always easy Worth the fight It's your life. go People change, or they leave the past behind There's a fear, or fall from grace Running circles, like a hamster on the wheel There's another way, to have a taste Of something beautiful... Find the place and just go Don't over think it or they suck u in If you're doing what u love Then you always, always win

It came from nowhere invading the cracks in my spine they took me for granted and gave me a sweet way to die the straps they keep holding me down and the needle are in my veins They'll tell the others what they see in me they'll do their studies and be done with me tonight now as the second opinion will reach for my head I feel the warmth of all the liquid under my flesh I really need to be asleep now I kinda like the way it makes me feel right now I'm just their animal tonight I'm just a creature here tonight don't act surprised out of the skies they came it happens all the time Before I know where I was they took me and made me their own The subject of studies, a specimen without no control This plugging and prying and testing will never get old I hope they like what they find in me I bet they tell their friends about me when I'm gone. I'm just their animal tonight I'm just a creature here tonight don't act surprised out of the skies they came it happens all the time

This is the one This is the one where I die This is the one This is the one where I try When I am done When I am done I will… This is the one This is the one This is the one where we win This is the one This is the one again This is the one This is the one where I die This is the one This is the one where I wonder why

about

Anand's assignment for the week:
"In all my songwriting these days, especially for the pop stuff we're doing... I am very focused on something hooking you in right from the beginning. A feeling, vibe, groove, melodic hook - something to get you within the first few seconds and keep you listening. Especially in today's world of music consumption, if you don't get someone quickly, they move on to the next tune. So following up on last week's challenge to write a single, it's another single this week - but it's got to be immediate. Imagine you are going into a meeting with a song plugger who was 5 minutes to check out our tunes... how can you grab em?"
