Life Cycles

Enthralled by your gaze,
All you sought were pawns for your games.
Just like one, I couldn’t turn back,
To tell you, it’s all turning black.

And I thought I knew you.
And I thought i held you.
Why were we chasing cars,
When all you wanted were the stars?

All the things that happened today.
Could you put faces to our names?
Didn’t you wish I was to blame?
I was just one in the queue.

And I thought I touched you.
And I thought i missed you.
Why were we chasing cars,
When all you wanted were the stars?

Choices, you’ve to make one.
But I’m not signing up.
To be one of the few
Who were blind to do.

And I thought I loved you.
And I thought I’d be with you.
Why were we chasing cars,
When all you wanted were the stars?

Mistakes I made then
Are mistakes I still did
To tell you I love you
When you said it’s not about you.

It never was about me
Girl, now it’s plain to see
What we had times ago
It should have stopped at hello.

Pretty summer’s night
Everything’s gonna all right
Shirt and pants and pretty shoes
This is the night, what have i got to lose?

Beautiful in her sundress,
Her smiles lit up the night sky
Makes me feel so blessed
I should be the luckiest guy.

I wanted us to be together,
I wanted this to last forever.
Visions from yesterday,
They’re playing on my mind.

Let’s go for a drive,
I’ve got you a car,
A Mini no less,
Chili red Cabriolet.

Wind in the hair,
Whispering in our ears.
Lean on me,
Shoulder to shoulder.

I wanted us to be together,
I wanted this to last forever.
Visions from yesterday,
They’re playing on my mind.

In our Mini Cabrio,
On my lap, she sat.
Baby I gotta say something,
Baby I’ve got a guy.

I wanted us to be together,
I wanted this to last forever.
Visions from yesterday,
They’re playing on my mind.

Nice guys finish last,
They never had a chance.
All they did was,
Sit and watch it all blow past.

Nice guys finish last,
All they need is a chance.
To pick them up,
and they’ll learn fast.

Nice guys finish last,
White knight and his lance.
Try them out once,
Find out they’re a blast.

Nice guys finish last,
You never gave me a chance.

My life for you,
All I can offer and that’s not enough.

No one Understands Real Unconditional Love

Traveling down a one-way street
Knowing she’s the one to meet
Maybe you’ll want me there
When I’m not around to care

No, it’s not for me now
It’s just not the time now
Just give up on me now
What I want is to be sure

Just think about it
Don’t try to push it
Don’t pin your hopes on me
Cause I may disappoint you here

And for the very first time
On that Wednesday night
He cried himself to sleep
Wishing everything’s a dream

For my extremely few readers out there, I wanna share this cool service by the people from the Music Genome Project. Site’s www.pandora.com

You enter the artist or song you like and they find songs or artists that are similar to your chosen song/artist. You can provide feedback on the songs played. It’s like your personal DJ!

Till then, have fun Pandora-ing.

PS: I’m taking a small break from song writing during this exam period. Then again, I might come up with a couple while studying. You know how it is. I need the pressure so I can perform. Feel free to leave some feedback on the first two attempts. I think the first one needs some re-writing. Feels too ’stiff’.

PPS: Boy, that was a long PS.

This Mind of Mine

This mind of mine
I’m caught in a bind
God, she’s so refined
Was I so that blind?

This mind of mine
If she’s so inclined
What we would have dined
I’d love to unwind

Love’s hard to find
She nicely opined
Had a change of mind
And now she’s confined

This night enshrined
Now it’s all behind
Oh! When we were twined!
Oh! This mind of mine

Two feet out the door
Life I knew so well would cease
What am I living for?
Who would stand for this?

Why do you have to shout?
Why do you have to scream?
Gotta let it all out
Is this my shattered dream?

Trust isn’t there anymore
She was there just to please
Who am I living for?
What should stand for this?

What did I do wrong?
What didn’t I do right?
I’ll say so far and so long
I can never make things right

Why do you have to shout?
Why do you have to scream?
Gotta let it all out
Is this my shattered dream?

That love, will you bring?
Reach now for my hand
Teach me how to sing
Of life, of love and feet in the sand

A broken house
A shattered dream

Nobody said it would be this hard
