So I woke up late today. Most creative people realize that they either work best under the conditions of waking up early & thinking out things.. or staying up after the world is asleep in order to think out things. Sometimes I do the staying up late bit.. sometimes.. (though not much) I will also do the waking up early thing. However, today.. I just happened to not wake up til most of my classes were supposed to be done. I know, bad me. Shame on me. However, I used this opportunity (since my mind was fresh & unusually alert from the extra sleep). I picked up my guitar and played an E Major chord. I started strumming around with a finger picking soft, subtle pattern. These lyrics then came to mind. The idea is that of two friends & one wants to be more.. eventually it causes the needless loss of the friendship. There is regret & the man simply wishes for the woman to come back.. like a breeze to blow back towards him in comfort. However, in his wish.. he doesn't clarify.. So she ends up coming back like a cold breeze from the North in the winter-time.. a harsh bitter wind. He realizes he should have been careful what he wished for.. but in a sense still likes even her bitter presence more than her total absence. The end.
V1: Wipe this taste from my mouth
could you tell me I'm something... or anything at all by now
we could be friends but “more than this..” would always haunt my mind
you were the wind & I was the plastic pen..
used to compose a perfect, fantastic piece..
wind blow again & leave your breeze on my heart... oh oh..
{Chorus 1}-
& she blows south again....
from the north.. & it's a cold cold wind..
& she blows south again....
from the north to sting hearts of men...
V2: Wipe these tears from my chest
could you tell me it's nothing.. that life's not a mess for me
& we could be friends.. the kind that say phrases like “I still love you more”
She writes me again, but I'm not her pen..
to fit in her fingers & hold on to thoughts of when...
wind blow away the seeds of our yesterdays from my tattered heart..
{Chorus 1}-
& she blows south again....
from the north & it's a cold cold wind..
& she blows south again....
from the north to sting hearts of men... again...
{Bridge}-
& I swear I should have listened when everyone said that by now..
you should watch what you wish for...
& I swear I should have listened when everyone screamed in my ear...
but I am distracted...
& I swear I should have listened when everyone said that by now..
you should watch what you wish for...
& I swear I should have listened when everyone screamed in my ears..
but I am still wanting you here..
{Outro}-
come here...
ah, come here...ah
(please come around or just come near..
I'm distracted somehow & this could end badly now..
please come around or just come near..
I'm distracted somehow & this could end badly)
come here...ah, ah, ah..
come here...ah, ah ah, ah..
ah, Please come around or just come near.. I'm distracted somehow...
like in my dreams of falling...
please come around or just come near .. I'm distracted somehow...
like in my dreams of falling again.
****** P.S. -- I may post some kind of youtube version of this soon. I will load video on here.. if & when I do.
