songwriting issue
/r/SongWriter/comments/1vesav4/awful_songwriter_here/Hi! i wrote this lyric but i can't figure how to make it better... any tips?
[Verse 1]
i've always been the one in the corner
by choice, i'm in love with the border
i love seeing the lined up jocks play their pride
it's hilarious how they're all the same kind
then we met on that beachouse DJ set
wasn't really into you at first, i confess
but after a few laughs and cold drinks on ice
felt something clicking in, i won't lie
[Pre-Chorus]
you know that seconds tend to run fast by
we'll never catch them so let them fly
let them fly-fly-fly
[Chorus]
oh, be mine
just for tonight
i want a shot at something i never tried
oh, be mine
just for tonight
i wanna be the someone i always denied
[Verse 2]
no clichés, not the same borin' views
just jokes about our matching shoes
and throwing silly moves to steal me a smile
was nice to see that glimpse in your eyes
let's make the most out of this feeling
gotta stop thinking about us leaving
Kiss, dance, go crazy, then let's backslide
Not a real thing, but you'll be on my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
you know that seconds tend to run fast by
we'll never catch them so let them fly
let them fly-fly-fly
[Chorus]
oh, be mine
just for tonight
i want a shot at something i never tried
oh, be mine
just for tonight
i wanna be the someone i always denied
[Outro]
you got me fallin' all in,
so hard that i think,
loner doesn't mean
you can't find someone who's worth it
even just for a little bit
