Taylor Swift

So since Austin Kyle Renfroe has a song out on itunes called "Taylor Swift" (& it's really good by the way), I decided that I would play my hand at the friendly, family "& now it's my turn" moment. (And no, I totally didn't mean that in the Arkansas kind of way either.. moving on). Basically this was just a really fun & creative songwriting ex. for me. All of the Guitar stuff for it is still in my head at this point since it's 3:36am now lol.

If I had to sum this up I'd say this is a song from a songwriter to a songwriter about love of all kinds & its' potential.. in music.. in life.. in fantasy.. but more than anything it's realization in reality & what that can mean.

This may be the first song I complete & put out over the web for obvious promotional & marketing reasons :P

*****THE LYRICS*****
This is a love song, I hope that you can hear it.
I hope that you adhere to it just like those books with great advise.
This is a heart song, I hope that you can feel it.
I hope you want to steal from it & make the feelings that I'm talking
come to meet you in the real life.

And if my greatest words just fall short of who you are...
Well then the greatest kiss will have to wait & greet you in the dark.. oh

To feel you now, to touch your skin
To understand the shape I'm in..
To love me just for who I am...
To not believe that all love is pretend

To tame the stars & watch them fall over you..
To watch the rain, but not a minute too soon..
Maybe I'll know that I love you then...
Maybe you'll know & still the words will be
so small.. but still like wine

This is a love song, I hope that you can hear it.
I hope that you won't fear it, like a pathetic stalker with a fist of cheap fixed lines.
And if I'm played out to you, then just give me a decent chance..
to bring about a sweet romance
& when the sun comes up I'm betting you'll love me still.

No more, waking the dawn to find an empty pillow with no face.
No more, chasing the curb to find the pavement wants to meet you face to face.
(cause I'd rather kiss you anyway)

To feel you now, to touch your skin
To understand the shape I'm in..
To love me just for who I am...
To not believe that all love is pretend

To tame the stars & watch them fall over you..
To watch the rain, but not a minute too soon..
Maybe I'll know that I love you then...
Maybe you'll know & still the words will be
so small.. but still like wine
so small.. but still like wine..

And I am finding that love is an intoxicating,
it's an exhilarating, it's an unchanging, a belief that I've found..
And when you wake in the morning & always have a first kiss to find,
And you always have another gift beside you
And you always have a another rush in her eyes...


This is a love song, I hope that you can hear it.
I hope that you adhere to it just like those books with great advise.
This is a heart song, I hope that you can feel it.
I hope you want to steal from it & make the feelings that I'm talking
come to meet you in the real life..
make it real oh make it real now..

To feel you now, to touch your skin
To understand the shape I'm in..
To love me just for who I am...
To not believe that all love is pretend

To tame the stars & watch them fall over you..
To watch the rain, but not a minute too soon..
Maybe I'll know that I love you then...
Maybe you'll know & still the words will seem
so small, just like the perfect date with sweet red wine
just like the lottery odds, so small..
just like the fate of the Saab, so small...
like chances that Elvis died.

Are we in Paris yet?
Are we in Paris yet?
Are we in Paris?

I open my eyes, look in the mirror & I'm seeing you...
put in a verse of mine
