Well, this one is probably entirely useless for the writing project I'm working on right now, but I think I do kind of like it. Just not sure what I can use it for. Maybe that Traveling Travisbury project that Joshua and Patrick and I have been threatening for a while.
Believe it or not, I started out with "Every Time You Go Away," and it somehow morphed into this Keane/Britpop kind of thing.
On the assumption that the lyrics were going to get reworked, I again didn't put too much time into them, but the source amuses me. The family has been slowly bingeing our way through the Mission Impossible series (SPOILER ALERT AHEAD) ...
... and as silly as those movies are, I always think the scenes where Hunt "spies on" his wife, whom he can no longer be with, are a nice touch. Kinda creepy, kinda "Every Breath You Take," but also very poignant. So that's the point of view that this lyric adopts.
Oh, also, I really amused myself with the way I ended up included the keyword this week.
lyrics
I knew I’d never feel,
Hold you in the moments
I could steal
I’d never reach the ocean
the river’s deal
With the sky
And once the sun goes down
I’ll chase your shadow all around
Through this town
But never get so close you’d know
I found where you’ve been
When you turn around
I’m lost and found again
You’ll always to have to wonder
The back of your neck
you thought you’d just checked, you turn
The flash, before the thunder
I’ll sweep the skies
with searchlight eyes
For traces of where love lies
I know the rules by now
I’d never dare to question
Why or how
But sometimes when the night falls
On these vows, ever far away
so if you feel a brush
think you’ve heard a whisper
In the hush
Remember I’ll be watching
through the crush of the crowd
When you turn around
I’m lost and found again
You’ll always to have to wonder
The back of your neck
you thought you’d just checked, you turn
The flash, before the thunder
I’ll sweep the skies
with searchlight eyes
For traces of where love lies
Sometimes I could swear that I feel you
Moving through me
is it true we still know how?
Please believe you’re always in my view
I can see you
From the corner of my eye
When you turn around
I’m lost and found again
You’ll always to have to wonder
The back of your neck
you thought you’d just checked, you turn
The flash, before the thunder
I’ll sweep the skies
with searchlight eyes
For traces of where love lies
