Ok,so! I had this thought in my head a few days ago, to make a song, completly out of other bands lyrics. So, i had nothin else to do and no one to talk to tonight, so i decided to make the song tonight. Where most my songs take me 20 minutes, this one took 2 1/2 hrs. I complied Lyrics from other bands and read them over and over, and did what i could to make them into a song. So, 2 1/2 hrs, and 21 total pages of notes ( i can send em to ya maybe or somethin, if ya dont believe me) hehe, but yea, after all that, i made this song. Its nothin great by any means, but its somethin new, and maybe if i feel up to it, ill try and right another one again sometime and it will be better then this one. So here ya go, dont be to mean, dont want my spirit crushed. lol

In parenthesis, it goes, band then, the song they wrote.

Song Title: "Kiss Me"

Lonely, yeah that's the word
I leave my heart when I leave her (Five for Fighting—"I Just love you")
You don't have to be alone (Coldplay—"A Message")
(So) Sail away with me honey (David Gray—Sail Away)
Please be mine (David Bowie—Be My Wife)
We won't have to be alone if you say you will
If you say you will, if you say you will (Ben Harper—Say you will)

No I'm not color blind
I know the world is black and white (John Mayer—Stop this train)
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together (Jack Johnson—Better together)
I never wanted anyone like this (Madonna—Crazy for you)
That my only love should be her
Just to lie in her arms (Dave Matthews—Sleep to dream her)

[Chorus]
We don't know what we're doing
We do it again
We're just amateur lovers
With amateur friends (Switchfoot—Amateur Lovers)
[Chorus]

The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin (Fiona Apple—Pale September)
My cold hands needed a warm, warm touch,
And I was thinkin' about you (Norah Jones—Thinking of you)
the way i started to memorize your face
 to kiss you in my mind
love you all the time (Gloria Estefan—I see your smile)
I'm so attracted to you
I get scared the moment you leave (Maroon 5—Infatuation)

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby (Tom Petty—American Girl)
Slow down and pace yourself (Teddy Geiger—Love is a Marathon)
I hope this makes you smile
And you might stay that way for a while (Hellogoodbye--  Two Weeks in Hawaii)
(I'm) so happy cause you're mine
we'll live in ecstasy , the world for you and me (Kylie Minogue—If I was your lover)
So kiss me (Sixpence None the Richer—Kiss me)

[Chorus]
We don't know what we're doing
We do it again
We're just amateur lovers
With amateur friends (Switchfoot—Amateur Lovers)
[Chorus]

Song title: Butterflies

Its 8 in the morn, and im thinking of you

each passing day, im falling more in love with you

i need you in my life, i cant live without you

Come follow me, and i will never leave you

Seems like just yesterday we met

We hardly talked, but we never stopped talking

we know everything about each other

we are happy, we are in love

Your kisses send me to the moon

Your never ending love is something i cant live without

Your smile gives me butterflies

Your voice puts a smile on my face

With the obsticles of life around us

we have each other

When the world comes crashing down

we have each other

When there is no one to go to

we will always have each other

I dream of you

I dream of a day when we dont have to say goodbye

I dream of you

I dream of your smile, and even in my dreams

I get butterflies

You laugh at my lame jokes

You put a smile on my face

You are so special to me

You are my sunshine

I cant live without.

Idk, its 8am, i woke up at 7am, couldnt sleep... felt compelled to write a song, took me a lil longer to write this one... about 18 minutes or so.. but yea... lookin at the song more i cant think of a decent rythem, but all the lyrics are my emotions, and i guess thats whats important aye? lol

So, hope ya like it, i need to start packin for college...ugh...*leavin tomarrow, and havnt started packin yet, lol*

Drifting in and out of this life
seems to never come to a end
so many questions
and no one to talk to
so many questions
and no where to go

With every passing day
I accomplish nothing
except making my life more confusing
with every passing day
I miss you more

Im drifting, drifing in and out
I dont know where im going
Dont know whats going to happen
but i need to stay strong
I need you beside me

Seconds, turn into minutes
turn into hours away from you
seems like eternity
its been 5 minutes
Lord help me.

I dont know what to do
i dont know where to go
I need someone lord
please help me find them
I cant do this alone
Send me a angel

Life is a funny thing
one moment it loves you
next its got you spinning in circles
I dont know whats happening
I dont know where to turn
but then i see your face
and everything right again

Im drifting, drifting in and out of this life
dont know whats going to happen
but as long as i have you beside me
I know we can make it
we have nothing to fear
lets move on, lets explore the world.

With you and me as one
we can climb any mountain
we can do anything
believe in me, and i'll believe in you
I'll never let you go
I love you more then the world its self

With every passing moment, i grow weary,
i glance up into your eyes
and regain strength and passion
the burning desire i had for you from day one
it still remains
ten fold the strength it used to be
dont lose faith in me

I will never leave you.

*wrote it in like 10 min*

woo*

There are things in this life I
would rather not sacrifice.
You girl I cannot live without
and you know there's no doubt that
All I mind's losing you.

I don't mind losing sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
I'll get plenty of rest when I am dead
but till then won't you share my bed
cuz all I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you

And I don't mind losing money
There's nothin this life owes me
I've been given morethan I can receive
But for you there's no receipt
So all I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you

I don't mind growin o-old
Losing teeth and going bald
Not as handsome as I ever was
But you love me just because
All I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you

There are things in this life I
would rather not sacrifice.
You girl I cannot live without
and you know there's no doubt that
All I mind's losing you (x3)

Band: John Butler Trio

Song: Losing You

CD: Grand National

Review: cd f'in rules.

*smashes head against desk*

f it.

Life is stoopid.

nuf said.

Wondering aimlessly down a winding river
Where will I stop?
When will this all end?
Will you be mine?
Will I move on?

Tonight will you grab my hand
Promise to never let go
We can fly away from here
Leave this mess all behind

[Chorus]
When I think... I think of you
When I dream... I dream of you
When I sing... I sing of you
When I love... I looove you

With the whole world against us
We put on foot in front of the other
On our own we cant do anything
But together we can do anything
Dont lose faith in me
And I wont let go of you

We can start a life together
We have nothing to lose
We have the world to gain
With your fingers inter-locking mine
We will conquer this world
to make it our own

We have nothing to lose
We have the world to gain


[Chorus]
When I think... I think of you
When I dream... I dream of you
When I sing... I sing of you
When I love... I looove you

With the wind to our backs
We raise our sails high into the wind
We will sail down the river of life
With no clue where our journey will take us
But right now, I dont care
I just wanna be with you.

*Never written a song before, this one is defiently nothing great, and wrote it in like 3 minutes* lol

"Looking For Angels"
Artist: Skillet

Walk this world alone try to stay on my feet

Sometimes crawl, fall, but I stand up cause I'm afraid to sleep
And open my eyes to a new day, with all new problems 4. and all new pain
All the faces are filled with so much anger
Losing our dignity and hope from fear of danger
After all the wars, after settling the scores, at the break of dawn we will be deaf to the answers

There's so much bigotry, misunderstanding and fear
With eyes squinted and fists clinched we reach out for what is dear
We want it we want
We want a reason to live
We're on a pilgrimage
A crusade for hope
Cause in our hearts and minds and souls we know
We need it we need
We need more than this

[Chorus:]
Going through this life looking for angels
People passing by looking for angels

Walking down the streets looking for angels
Everyone I meet looking for angels

So many nations with so many hungry people
So many homeless scrounging around for dirty needles
On the rise, teen suicide, when we will realize
we've been desensitized by the lies of the world
We're oppressed and impressed by the greedy
Whose hands squeeze the life out of the needy
When will we learn that wars, threats, and regrets are the cause and effect of living in fear

Who can help protect the innocence of our children
Stolen on the internet with images they can't forget
We want it we want
We want a reason to live
We represent a generation that wants to turn back a nation
To let love be our light and salvation
We need it we need

We need more than this
I became a savior to some kids I'll never meet
Sent a check in the mail to buy them something to eat
What will you do to make a difference, to make a change?

What will you do to help someone along the way?
Just a touch, a smile as you turn the other cheek
Pray for your enemies, humble yourself, love's staring back at me
In the midst of the most painful faces
Angels show up in the strangest of places

its a good song...thought i would share it.. great cd btw..*Comatose, Skillet*
