the Ocean Will Sing

it's hard enough to make it through the day
without your letters
they can't keep up
we were fools to think that words could make it better
all the people that i used to be
are coming through and out of your memory
things that i didn't want to see
so i'm a quitter
the world will keep on going, but without me
i can't keep up
i was a fool to think the world would hug me softly
it's all a rock in my chest that'll never stop till i hit bottom
the ocean will sing "we finally got him"

sooo.. yesterday, after i posted the song, i sat around waiting for Emily to get off work and wrote this on piano. i didn't mean to, it just happened, but i'm not complaining. it's got a weird chord thing going on, a Fsus4 or Bb thing.. i'm not sure. apparently it doesn't matter on guitar too much, but does matter when you play the bass or piano or mandolin. or chimalong.

ha!

anyways.. i like the lyrics to this one. i like the idea of the ocean with a vendetta against me, or something. old greek god vindication. i like sitting around with the guitar playing it. it's got five or six chords in one song!

wow.
