Lost and Found

Find me on the sidewalk

heading south

There's a line that I crossed

when I tried to reach out

But if you could, would you listen to me?

Cause I've got stories to tell

Is it surprising there's no use in finding

out about myself?

Cause no one ever has to know that

I'm the one who's lost and found

Oh I've tried, I've tried to be myself

But all the love that you give has no effect

on a heart that's already wrecked

I'm losing it, I'm losing it

I try not to get lost in you

and forget where I am

There's this force that forces me

to not understand

It's not fair to not be fair to you

At least from where I stand

I think it's best to not get to know you,

so I don't get to the point where I can't

Cause you don't have to know that

I'm the one who's lost and found

Oh I've tried, I've tried to be myself

But all the love that you give has no effect

on a heart that's already wrecked

I'm losing it, I'm losing it

Old lyrics- new meaning

I wrote these lyrics a long time ago. As I was singing and strumming away today (just now actually), I came across the song that contains them.

As I said, I wrote these lyrics a long time ago. I wrote them during a much different period in my life. Looking back now, these lyrics are somehow still applicable; but now I'm relating to them in an entirely new way.

....

I look up at the sky

wondering, wondering why

My feet are on the ground

Just help me, save me from this now

What I sit under is a breath of fresh air

And what I'm taking in, I don't really care

It's not helping

Do you think that you're worth it?

And it's not healthy

Do you think I deserve this?

This whatever this is

....

Shake Some Sense

People change. It's sad, but it's a fact.

These lyrics (only a verse and a chorus of a song) are about these kinds of people that are in- were in my life.

...

Don't worry, I'm just checking in

I'll pack my suitcase and go home again

If all you're looking for is a friend,

then don't count on me, I won't be here in the end

That's what you said

Turn off my nightlight, I don't need it anymore

The days of innocence are running out my door

Laughing and playing just wasn't good enough

So, I traded in that stuff, I traded in you

for something new

I wish I had the strength,

cause then I'd shake some sense into you

I wish you would stay around long enough

for me to shake some sense into you

I'd shake some sense into you

I'd shake some sense into you

Cause that's what friends do

...

:( sad face, I know. The only good about the bad in my life is that I can turn them into songs- something constructive, something that allows me to vent. That's my silver lining.

Till next time,

K

My Love ♪

Today is not my day

Nothing is going my way

So why can't you?

Today is so messed up

I think I'm running out of luck

So why don't you give me some?

Cause all I need's your voice in my ear

Won't you whisper to me?

Make everything clear, my love

Today does not compare

to the way you touch my hair

That's all I need

Today could turn around

You can bring me up when I'm down

You're all I need

Cause all I need's your voice in my ear

Won't you whisper to me?

Make everything clear

It's the warmth you bring that makes me whole

Won't you make me believe?

Bring me home, my love

♪

Cause all I need's your voice in my ear

Won't you whisper to me?

Make everything clear

It's the warmth you bring that makes me whole

Won't you make me believe?

Bring me home, my love

"Old" song inspiration

These aren't new lyrics. I wrote this song about two years ago. After listening to John Mayer's "In Your Atmosphere" I was immensely inspired. This is the product of that inspiration mixed with my feelings at the time- feelings that I relate to right now.

....

One Day

I've been, I've been wondering

if all I'll, all I'll ever have

is already here waiting to surpass

Am I over thinking it?

I get lost, get lost and thrown away

with my own opportunity

Can't waste another minute stuck inside this room

I'll get out of here soon

One day I'll get out of here

in one piece, I need my peace

And I'll say that I loved you, dear

But I need, I need my space

There are, there are many times

where I feel I could have rolled the dice

I'm just so indecisive, it kills me inside

I've got to get out of this life

One day I'll get out of here

in one piece, I need my peace

And I'll say that I loved you, dear

But I need, I need my space

Give me my space

I've decided that it's time for me to go

And you're compliant so I will let you know that

I've thought about it many times

And I decided that I'd roll that dice

It landed on a two, that's why I'm here with you

You should know that you should have known

One day I'll get out of here

in one piece, I need my peace

And I'll say that I loved you, baby

But I need, I need my space

Give me my space

I'll pack my bags and go

I will, I will

I'll pack my bags and go

I said I'll pack my bags and go

....

You only get what you put into it

and you only see what you see through

Times like this I wish I knew it

Oh and times like this I wish I knew you.

xx K

Yesterday/Black And White

Okay.. well, I've written another song this week. This one's finished. And it's pretty good in my books- but that could be just because I love new material. :P

The entire song is with picking, it's slow, and my hand goes into a cramp when I play it on some tries. lol "No pain, no gain," I suppose.

Right off the bat I was just gonna call it Yesterday. But really, how could I compete with the Beatles? And when I think about it, there's probably tons of songs with that name. Along with Breathe, and anything to do with Rain. Which I, proudly, have not written such a song. ^-^ Well, at least not titled that. ;)

Any who, it's still in the decision process. It's either gonna be Yesterday, or I'm leaning more towards Black And White. See what you think..

******

I never thought that it could be like this

And I never thought that you could be like this

We were more than this, it used to seem

Lets pretend it's worth it, but honestly

It's so black and white

All the colors seem to fade to grey

I'm losing fight

for all we used to have yesterday

It's not okay

It's not okay

It's not okay

I'm not okay , it's not like it was yesterday.

Can't you see that all you were is left to me?

Can't you tell that all you do is for them, and not for you?

Why did you have to change for the worst?

Cause I don't know, I just don't know if it can be reversed

Your so black and white

All your colors seemed to fade to grey

I'm losing fight

for all we used to have yesterday

It's not okay

It's not okay

It's not okay

I'm not okay , it's not like it was yesterday.

You did say

you couldn't live without me

Then why do you try?

Why do you try so damn hard?

And now..

It's black and white

Cause all your colors seemed to fade to grey

Seems like were losing sight

of all we used to have yesterday

And that's not okay

It's not okay

That's not okay

I'm not okay, I'm not like I was yesterday.

*****

Oh, and you probably noticed that there was swearing in it once, again. Same with the last song I posted. Their both about the same person, the same circumstance. I guess it's what works me up. But, I don't think damn is much of a swear word anymore. I think it's the lightest one. I'm not even going to bother censoring it. lol

So that's all for tonight.

I'm very tired. And tomorrow's Halloween! I'll be staying up PRETTY late. :D

I is excited! =]

Type to you soon, more song lyrics and thoughts to come. :]

Rough lyrics

I meant to practice my set list for this gig I have on November 1st, but I ended up writing a song. Not surprising, I'm such a procrastinator and have a talent for finding something better to do. ;) Or at least, it always seems like it's better at the time.

These lyrics are really rough. Haven't edited them yet, I'll get to it soon enough. I just had this urge to post them, so here I am; and here they are:

Where did I leave you last?

Did I leave you in the past, did I?

Cause something here has changed

but I don't want to point my finger any which way

I feel like coming out

and I really just wanna talk about this

But tell me, tell me- is it really even worth it?

Cause if you ask me I'm fine

It's this illusion of mine

And all I wanted

was to see if we were

worth it, ever

It used to be so nice

we never even had one fight, you know

Now it's like pulling teeth

trying to get you to speak to me

And all those things you said

did you ever really even mean them?

Cause some things I did

but some things, I didn't.

Cause if you ask me I'm fine

It's this illusion of mine

And all I wanted

was to see if we were

worth it, ever

**Random catchy alternate chorus, or possible bridge below..

Because the s**t that you've done

is digging a hole

Sometimes its best to move on

or just let go

I don't know

But one things for sure

I'm losing hope.

And that's all folks.

xx Singing off - Karly oo

P.S.- First usage of a swear word in my writing. lol

Something Again

New song alert!

VERSE 1

Here's what I'd like to tell you.

Here's what I'd like to say.

You don't know me

but I'd like you to stay.

2

Do you feel guilty

about things that you've done?

Do you feel sad

about anyone?

PRE-CHORUS

Cause I'd like to tell you that I, I'm starting again.

And I'd like you to be the one to start it all over with.

CHORUS

Can't you see I want you, I want you to be with me.

Take my hand if you want, if you want to be something.

We could be something again. x2

VERSE 3

I like being honest

It hasn't gotten me anywhere.

Do you find that

I try to hard not to care?

PRE-CHORUS 2

Let's be honest, I'm not worth it, and neither are you.

Bet let's just try this, we'll talk about it, see what we can do.

CHORUS

Can't you see I want you, I want you to be with me.

Take my hand if you want, if you want to be something.

We could be something again. x2

anything you want from me. You can take it all. x3

**

CHORUS

Can't you see I want you, I want you to be with me.

We could be something again. x2

Bittersweet

Hey!

I might be a little ahead of myself by posting this song so early but, I want to. :P

And that's one thing I've came to terms with the past year or so of my life, if you want to do something, then just do it. I mean, to not do something because of self conscious reasons or just trivial reasons is well, it's stupid. 

"Whatever, whatever I do what I want."   lol ^.^

So anyway, 

this song is called Bittersweet. It really came about because I wanted to write a song with the title Bittersweet. I always loved that expression. ^_^

It's about, yet again, another personal experience of mine. It's quite old but it's subject ties in with a new song I wrote "It's Been To Many" which I posted as well. 

So here it is :)

Bittersweet

I woke up, and lying next to me was me again.

I dream of things that's better off not knowing, cause you are my friend.

If you knew how I feel would you feel differently?

If I looked at you and smiled would you feel the same?

I guess the best part of this is not knowing... yet.

I thought you would see a better part of me.

& I thought we could be something better.

I thought there would be happiness forever.

But I guess this love is just so bittersweet.

I'm having difficulty with the current situation at hand.

Do you see where this is going? Cause if you don't nobody understands.

I wish we could just go back to having fun again.

And I wish we could just relax, cause serious just ain't my thing.

Do you see where I'm going... with this?

I thought you would see a better part of me.

& I thought we could be something better.

I thought there would be happiness forever.

But I guess this love is just so bittersweet.

And I don't want it to be, yeah.

If you could be who you used to be.

If we could be who we used to be.

If I could talk to you again, 

then maybe this would finally end.

I wish you could see a better part of me.

& I wish we could be something better.

Then I think there could be happiness forever.

But I guess this love is just so bittersweet.

* * * * *  (Stars meaning no lyrics and just music and humming and such).

Just so bitter...

It's Been Too Many

I wrote a song. 

=D

It's a short song. 

It's only about 2 minutes long. 

I wrote it two nights ago.

It's about ... well it's about, someone.

Pretty much all of my songs are about "someone."

And by that, I don't mean about the same someone. That would be just a LITTLE obsessive. =P

Songs are how I express my feelings.

Each song of mine expresses a different feeling and state of mind. A different mood, opinion, point of view. And being an adolescent, they change quite frequently. 

My songs are also story's. 

Story's of my life.

It's a great way to keep track of it. ;)

So here's the most current "feeling/state of mind/mood/opinion/point of view/story" that's turned into a song.

Oh and also, usually for me, the most intense emotions get turned into songs. 

For example, I'm not gonna write a song about how I feel about pop corn. It has to be something that eats me up inside, or makes me extremely excited. Something that has a big impact on my character, and me as a person.

Anyway, no further delay.

It's been too Many.

Its been too many years

Its been too many days

Its been too many ways to avoid you I'd say.

It's been too many months

It's been too many awkward moments

It's been too many erase the past and start again

, my friend.

It's been too many grades

It's been too many stages in our lives

It's been too many times that I've ever felt criticized. 

It's been to many holding back

It's been to many words I've lacked

It's been to many times when I've looked at you

, and you don't have a clue.

You Said

New song! - Well, for you it is. =P For me, it's like, the oldest of songs. 

I wrote it when I was 11, I'm pretty sure it's the first song I've written that's a full length song, that's actually good (good enough to still be playing four years later), and the first to have instrumentation (the guitar). What I did was, I wrote the lyrics and the melody when I was that age (11) and then, I think about a year later, I came back to it and figured out what chords would go best with it and viola! Now it's actually a performable song! 

It's called "You Said" and it's about, well it's probably pretty obvious what it's about, but If you need a hint then, I wrote it about a disappointing friend. One that only made things worse for me. And if someone does that, than there not really a friend at all. 

Remember I was only 11 when I wrote this, so some of the things are fiction, like the line "but then you take the boy I like and turn to jealousy." I only wrote it in there because it rhymed and worked in the song. Also, it could be applied for other girls in these types of situations. Representing the immaturity. 

I usually have some level of exaggeration in my songs. It makes them more moody and interesting. But the feelings I had while writing them are not exaggerated. My songs are for you to interpret, for you to apply to your own life and experiences, to get what you will out of them. Not for me to tell you exactly what their about. They mean something different to everyone. 

So anyway, here's "You Said"...

You Said

Friends forever,

it seems like that would be a very long time

I'll take whatever,

maybe once but not a second time.

It does seem this way, maybe not, who's to blame?

But your not what I thought that you would be.

You said you'd be clean.

You said that you'd be my friend,

but then you turn around and stab me in the back.

We agree to disagree, you turn around and act nice to me.

You said that you wouldn't be mean,

but then you take the boy I like and turn to jealousy.

Every thing's backwards, every thing's wrong,

but that's what you get when you're playing this song. 

Going backwards,

you just can't reverse what you've done.

It seems so easy,

but then again maybe it's not.

It does seem this way, maybe not, who's to blame?

But your not what I thought that you would be.

You said you'd be clean.

You said that you'd be my friend,

but then you turn around and stab me in the back.

We agree to disagree, you turn around and act nice to me.

You said that you wouldn't be mean,

but then you take the boy I like and turn to jealousy.

Every thing's backwards, every thing's wrong,

but that's what you get when you're playing this song. 

And I know that you didn't mean it, 

but then again maybe you did.

Thing's that have already happened, 

we can't go back and reverse them again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah..

You said that you'd be my friend,

but then you turn around and stab me in the back.

We agree to disagree, you turn around and act nice to me.

You said that you wouldn't be mean,

but then you take the boy I like and turn to jealousy.

Every thing's backwards, every thing's wrong,

but that's what you get when you're playing this song. 

You said that you'd be my friend,

but then you turn around and stab me in the back.

We agree to disagree, you turn around and act nice to me.

You said that you wouldn't be mean,

but then you take the boy I like and turn to jealousy.

Every thing's backwards, every thing's wrong,

but that's what you get when you're playing this song. 

Friends forever, 

it seems like that would be a very long time.

(Above^ Me when I was 10, just a year younger than I was when I wrote You Said.)

Well, that's all for today folks!

Till tomorrow*
