I’m lost in the crowd again
Got to start breathing, gotta count to ten
And try to convince myself to stay.
Who am I kidding, they can’t keep me away!
From the sound
From the view
From the deepest well
I ever fell into
He’s got a way with me
Standing there, beautifully afar
Playing me, playing me!
Like he plays his guitar
His guitar
He holds it so tight
I pray that he’ll hold me like that some night
But it’s useless, ‘cause it isn’t me
He longs to hold, but I can’t accept that easily
He’s got a way with me
Standing there, beautifully afar
Playing me, playing me!
Like he plays his guitar
You should see
The way his eyes glaze, avoiding me
I don’t know what I thought, how I got it wrong
Thinking I was the muse in his perfect love song
I guess I misread the signs, misheard the key
He was singing in, when I thought he was singing to me
It’s just the way his music goes
It’s just the way his music goes
But he’s got a way with me
Shining because he’ll be a star
He’ll keep on playing me
Just like he plays his guitar
His sweating hands hold both sides of me
One glance up into his eyes and the world falls silently
I know it because I’ve been to his shows a million times before
That he’ll keep on playing me,
Silently,
Distantly,
He’ll keep on playing me,
I pray he play me a million times more.

This is REALLY good. I really liked it and usually I find it hard to lie lyrics without the music with it but this is good. REALLY good!!!

I like it so much. It is a very nice song..
Hey Eimear, I’m sorry it took me so long to get this reviewed for the contest and all, I’ve just been crazy busy, you have no idea. Anyway, this isn’t going to be a very long review, for one because I don’t have too much knowledge about lyrics but also because I don’t have anything bad to say.
One thing I want to bring up though is that something in the rhythm seems off. Maybe I’m not pacing out the words they way that you meant them too (which I think is the problem with just writing song lyrics, you never really know what the tempo is supposed to be).
But otherwise, this was good. It had wonderful word choice and the story within the song was well constructed. Anyways, I’ll be posting the results in the original thread momentarily so…yeah, check them out.
