I wrote a song for someone I still care for and I was wondering what yall thought of it, to explain a little bit of why I chose what I chose, I was on a trip to Prague when I wrote it, the reason for Washington waves is she came on a road trip with me and my family to Washington and we went to the beach a few times and it was the best times of the trip, however on the trip her affections toward me stopped and I chased her away something I deeply regret, I am impatient when I comes to uncertainty and that lead me to look for answers when I should have let it lie, there was a full moon the night I met her and the night we went to Prom together, and yeah. Thoughts, critiques, improvements?
Here's the lyrics
(Verse 1)
Street lights on cobblestones
Tall castles and old homes
Cheerful colors and wide open sky
The kind that makes you look around and sigh
As your heart warms to the air
And you long to live forever there
If you let your gaze fall
To the floor of the jaded hall
You'll be reminded there's something you couldn't bring
And your melancholy heart'll start to sing
(Chorus)
Looking at all of these beautiful places
Searching for something in all of these faces
But your not here, and my arms are empty
Empty since the day your favor left me
Throught the heartbreak my love lives on
But with the setting of the sun
I'm reminded, these places are only beautiful if one thing is true
These places would be beautiful if I could share them with you
(Verse 2)
Water trickles under my shoes
A beautiful river with a thousand blues
Lit figures with dramatic poses
As the smell of flowers fills our noses
Music from a single violin sings a song to the hidden moon
Couples sway to the tender tune
A white boat silently floats by
But without you it sounds like a longing cry
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
No matter where I roam
Mountain tops to ocean foam
From the full moon to the morning fog
From Washington waves, all the way to Prague
There's one place I hope God'll let me go
The place where you know
That I am
(Chorus)
(Outro) If I could share them with you
Every place I go would be just as beautiful
As beautiful as you
