There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

#needsmusic #needscollab #skirmish

Written as a duet, didn't label parts... sorry about that.

Lyrics

C vox1 I’ll explain… at least I’ll try Beg and plead, even cry It just happened in snap But you ain’t buying, my lying crap

V I vox2 It never just happens No Flash in the pan Never instant Always a plan

vox1&2? call and response perhaps? Could have stopped When you were staring Stopped starting with the tilt Turn back before your lips met And our love began to melt

C vox1 I’ll explain… at least I’ll try Beg and plead, even cry It just happened in snap But you ain’t buying, my lying crap

V II vox1&2 Didn’t plan for it to happen vox2 Heard it all before When you see a storm is coming You simply close the door

The rumble of the thunder Hear the lightning crack If the train’s a rollin’ for you Then be stepping off the track

C vox1 I’ll explain… at least I’ll try Beg and plead, even cry It just happened in snap But you ain’t buying, my lying crap

V III vox2 Prayin you won’t get hit With 55 hundred ton of steel vox1&2 But will take the hit from her lips Wonderin’ how that feels

vox2 You took so many hits And went down and got back up Let’s go to town for another round Love to act so tough

Bridge? Got dressed again, came back home Stories of the job Working late, holds no weight The last excuse you’ll lob

Outro The final bell has rung (I can explain... at least I'll try} Here’s your ticket for the show (I really mean it will try to cry) Platform 9, 10:35 (It just happened... in a snap) I’ve packed you bags so go (You ain't buyin' what I'm selling) vox1&2 Done with the lyin' crap

Yup that I'll explain is really good! If I find a start line like that I know it's going to work. My first song repeated once or twice! I think there may be more than 1voicevm for this. Good lyric going to be a good song.

Hi @robinleaf and @frostin I was thinking a duet possibly - should have ID that... Thanks for bringing it to my attention! :-) and Thanks for taking the time to read and comment! Always appreciate that... Crap is part of my writing vernacular... but I don't really like it here... sounds kind of harsh... First pass will edit later! Thanks again for you input!

I like the structure in that it starts with the chorus. Maybe I should read this again, but somehow feels there were two voices. That also made it intriguing and didn't know, whose side I'm on.

Is this the same narrator throughout? If so, pretty interesting how at first he is trying to get out of it and then at the end he's like, get out. I like it.
