Sappy love song time. I feel like it's all very obvious. Typical. I feel better when my husband is here with me at home. I mean, he IS home and I'm pretty attached to him. Some might call it a co-dependency. Whatever. So I have abandonment issues, I deal with separation anxiety...label me, if the shoe fits, fine. I love him so very much and I just like it better when he is around and he's been traveling a lot more often these days. So have I. The good part is that we have learned to appreciate each other so much more than ever before. Words don't really do the feelings justice. He was gone so I wrote this song. I made a rhyme. Sweet. I experimented with Garageband a bit but still very raw demo. I'm new to the whole drum loop thing and sorry for the screamy parts. :-/ OH! The prompt was "In One Breath".

 


Missing You –In One Breath
 
In one breath, a memory of what you said
When it was still dark outside, as you kissed my lips goodbye
In only so many words, but all that you meant I heard
It got me through the day but night is too much to take 
Cause I can’t sleep. No, I can’t sleep
 
I lose my mind without you
I need you there on your side of the bed
You know I do. That’s why I’m fine staying up all night
Writing a song to say it doesn’t take long to start missing you
 
With each heartbeat, a measure of certainty
The quiet is not so calm, the house not as much a home
Pages of unsung words, how many more to turn
Songs on a sleepless night, how many more to write
Cause I can’t sleep, no, I can’t sleep
 
I lose my mind without you
I need you there on your side of the bed
You know I do, That’s why I’m fine staying up all night
Writing a song to say something wrong with me baby
I’m saying I’m just not the same. I go crazy waiting
 
I lose my mind without you
I need you there on your side of the bed
You know I do, That’s why I’m fine staying up all night
Writing a song to say it doesn’t take long
Writing a song to say it doesn’t take long
To start missing you
