When the Sky Falls Down (song)

I posted this song I wrote a while ago, but then hid it….. when I looked for it recently, it had lost its online presence, so here I am posting it again probably a year or so later 🙂  I hope you enjoy it.

 

Lyrics:

Lookin’ out at the stormy sky
I thought of you and who you used to be
Lookin’ out, I thought I’d spy
a hint of truth but no blue can be seen

When the sky falls down around us
When the sky falls down
When the sky falls down around us
Down around, down around

Workin’ out the miles to go
Not far from the raining pain of where you are
working out the flies below
wing speed all delayed to keep up with you, Sir

and when the sky falls down around
we’ll be the eye of the storm
when the sky falls down around
we’ll be the eye of the storm

Complicated if you don’t even know
the simple truth, 37 show
and though it’s clear as day here
thought it’s clear as day

Complicated, you don’t even know
the simple truth in a one-man show
it’s clear, as day here, but I know
you’re still in dark

still in dark

looking out at the stormy sky
I thought of you and who you came to be
looking out, I thought I’d spy
a way to you but truth is, hard to eat
not so sweet, as memory
not so sweet, as memory
not so sweet, as memory
not so sweet

“Fix You” — Coldplay lyrics

The Answer, My Friend…..

is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind.  ♪

What Do I Want To Be?

.
.

you know, I could do it too:
hair parted, to the side

long, just long enough

maybe highlighted

face airbrushed with

foundation

concealer

powder

eyebrows darkened

plucked into perfect arches

eyes lined with dark brown

not black, that’s whorish

lashes lengthened, strengthened, darkened

teeth bleached, no gaps

posture perfect

like a ballerina

simple, elegant, regal in composure

.

and sometimes I want to be

.

but I think of everything I’d miss

if I couldn’t touch animals because they’re dirty

if I couldn’t watch bugs because they’re creepy

if I couldn’t skip in fields because I’m an adult

if I couldn’t sing aloud because I’m mature

if I couldn’t play in the sand because I’m not a child

if I couldn’t run in the sun because I’d get tanlines

if I couldn’t be who I am because it’s not who I should be

.

so I draw on my own picture a pirate’s eyepatch

a curly mustache

and a tasteful goatee

because it’s more fun

than striving for perfection

and I want people to know

that they can’t threaten me with shoulds

that people who love me

can also have fun around me

because I love when people smile

and I love even more when it’s because of me

that’s the me I want to be

.

“Fall For You” — Secondhand Serenade

“Fall For You”

The best thing about tonight’s that we’re not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don’t think that I am trying
I know you’re wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You’re impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I’d never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Oh

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It’s impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I’m yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you’re asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You’re impossible to find

“Breathe You In” — Stabbing Westward

Tomorrow came too soon
I barely made it through today
Still empty inside
I guess nothing’s really changed
I’m still afraid to feel
‘Cause I cannot take the pain
I’m still afraid to feel
Afraid to lose someone again
I wish that somehow
I could leave
My past behind
My fears behind
If I could only breathe you in
Every drop of you
I guess it’s time to face the truth
And admit my past mistakes
Come to terms with all that’s wrong with me
And all the things I’ll never be
Why am I afraid to feel?
Afraid of what is true?
Why am I afraid to feel?
When all I really want is you?
To taste your skin
To share your thoughts
Would never be enough for me

I’d give credit to a lyrics site but frankly everywhere I looked had either the exact same incorrect lyrics or different incorrect lyrics, so I corrected them, including the proper accents.  For fun, I also included the translation in English (hopefully it’s also correct).  As far as I know, and kind of surprisingly, these are the only correct lyrics and the most correct translation of this song on the net.

Helter Skelter by U2

[spoken: “This is a song Charles Manson stole from the Beatles.  We’re stealin’ it back.“]

When you get to the bottom
You go back to the top of the slide
And you stop and you turn
And you go for a ride
Then you get to the bottom
Then you see me again

Do you, don’t you want me to love you
Coming down fast I’m right here above you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
Ain’t no lover but you ain’t no dancer

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter

Do you, don’t you want me to make you
I’m coming down fast now don’t let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You ain’t no lover but you ain’t no dancer

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter

When you get to the bottom
You go back to the top of the slide
And you turn and you stop
And you go for a ride
Then you get to the bottom
Then you see me again

Do you, don’t you want me to love you
Coming down fast I’m right here above you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
Ain’t no lover but you ain’t no dancer

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter…(and again)

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter

Miles Away (lyrics to a song by Sleep the Season)

This is a song done by one of my best friends’ band called Miles Away. I might’ve screwed up some of the lyrics but here’s my best try:

I made a thousand mistakes and baby you’re one of them
with your eyes and your smile
and the way that I’ll never get to see you again
cuz you’re 10,000 miles away
and I cannot speak to you
I am lost
you seduce with your mind but your heart is saying “leave me alone”

lady I made up my mind
that you were no good for me
we’re drunk, and alone
and you’re holding on tight with the hopes that I’ll turn into something I’m not
and something I’ll never be
to you I am flawed but to someone I’m God so just go
and leave me alone

I feel like I’ve been here before
oh
I feel like I’ve been here before
oh
so leave me alone

      

      

I’ll admit tonight when I first heard this song I almost cried.  Please, go to http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=14734215156&ref=share  (I hope that link works for you, please let me know if it doesn’t!  If it doesn’t, search for the band “Sleep the Season” in Facebook and you should be able to find the band’s site that way) and give it a listen…… it’s a beautiful song and personally I really feel the lyrics, which just adds that much more to it.  Please go, listen, and enjoy.
