Here’s lyrics to a song I started to write a few weeks ago and then abandoned, at least for now. It just wasn’t working for me. I figure maybe if I post it here I’ll remember to come back and revisit and finish it someday…

VERSE

We spend our days and nights in each other’s arms with a yearning
And now the whole thing’s falling apart
And all the words we said in bed were all gone in the morning
And now the whole thing’s falling apart
The rushing waves breaking out on the rocks were a warning
That the whole thing’s falling apart
There’s something in your heart you let out and you’re finally learning
And now your whole world’s falling apart

CHORUS

And all the promises we made knowing what it would cost
And all the things that we knew better but we carelessly tossed
They kept us farther from the edges of the lines we had crossed
And now we’re holding on on to something that we thought we had lost

VERSE

Now there’s a string that holds me to you and I’ll never unbind it
Without the whole thing falling apart
Just keep on looking for it in you and someday you will find it
Before the whole thing’s falling apart
And if you hold a hope of mending the string we’ll unwind it
And keep it all from falling apart
We’ll cut the ties to our past and leave our problems behind it
And stop the world from falling apart

CHORUS

TUBA SOLO

SMASH UKE AGAINST AMP AND TOSS INTO AUDIENCE
