Mostly just smarmy EQ2 songs but every now and then I’ll write lyrics for real songs too, usually when I’m in a pretty strong emotional place. I don’t play any instruments, though, so I have no idea how to translate the melodies in my head that accompany the lyrics into any usable form. So I suppose that means they are just poems that are intended to be sung.
More Than This
I wanted so much more than this for us, my lover,
I wanted so much more than this, my dear,
I wanted so much more than this,
Now I
Know it’s time to go, my darling.
Time to go, my dear.
And time will turn for us, lover,
Suns will eclipse and moons fade,
But the sun that sets on you, my love,
Will set on me too,
And the time we’ve been together,
Will forever be true,
But no more, my darling,
It’s time to part, my dear.
And I will think of you, my lover,
And should you think of me,
Remember the best, my dear,
And learn from the worst, my friend.
So much more than this
Wanted so much more than this, my dear,
Tried to make mountains,
And ended with holes,
So much more than this,
I wanted more,
But maybe not enough, my darling,
Not enough for this, my dear.
So dream of great things, my darling,
And remember me, my friend,
Because I will remember you.
Forever love, I’ll love you, dear,
But forever dream,
I’ll be dreaming new things.
And tears will fall,
But tears will fade.
And you,
You need to heal, my darling,
And I,
I need to grow, my friend.
I have to go,
Have to go, my lover,
It’s time to go, my friend.
So let me go,
I need to go.
Time to go.
It’s time to go, my friend.

And that is where I am right now.
