Draft

So was originally written as a song, not as a poem. aka, i sung it before the words came out.
chorus chord progression goes I V IV I ish. I know..too simple. but the melody takes away some of that simplicity. Don't analyze it.




Sitting under fire
and reading the newspapers,
that's the way

shooting up some stars
till they fall back down

I'm waiting on the day
to pass me by
and hope it hurries up
and I can't say why
but I can see it


write me a song
show me your heart
show me the ways not to fall apart,
give me the reasons
why I cannot love,
give me the reasons I can't think of.



Is that your face in the distance again
that I can't see

that I can't believe

I'm waiting for pleasure
hoping for pain
can't something else please plague my dreams again
don't make me repeat what I've thrown away,
but maybe today, today, today


write me a song
show me your heart
show me the ways not to fall apart,
give me the reasons why I cannot love,
give me the reasons I can't think of.

write me a song
give me your heart
please tell me some way not to fall apart
give me the reasons why I cannot love,
give me the reasons, the reasons today


[key change]
Oh, how unexpectedly we left this world
and fell behind it,
oh, don't say we can come flying back
Oh, and expect me to keep the pace in this space,
this empty place
[/key change]


write me a song
show me your heart
show me the ways not to fall apart,
forgive me the reasons why I cannot love,
forgive me the reasons I can't think of.

write me a song
give me your heart
please tell me some way not to fall apart
give me your hand and we'll fly away
but my wings are clipped, I can't fly today,

give me your hand
and we'll fly away
but my wings are clipped today,

today,

today.
