Hi guys!!!!
So this is sort of a NaNo update and you get a song I wrote!! Yay!!! I've gotten one song completely finished and am working through snippets on others.
So without further ado!
Open Road Summer
Verse 1
We met when we were both 16
You told me my dress was pretty
And we talked all night
Soon enough we were acting like
we had know each other our whole lives
Chorus
I remember the wind in my hair
The radio playing, our favorite country songs
Sittin' in the shotgun seat next to you
In that open road summer
Verse 2
I can still see my daddy on the porch
Waiting for us to get home from our date
As we pulled into the driveway, you smiled so wide
We didn't want the night to end
But that was just the first of many
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Driving through this old town now
I can still see us in your car
Me next to you in that shotgun seat
Repeat Chorus
How's NaNo going for you guys?
Let me know in the comments, I love to talk!!

Hey guys!
So there are a lot of songs about 16 and 18 and 15. There's a 21 and a 22.
But there aren't any about 17, so I decided to fix that.
Seventeen
Honestly I wish we could never grow up
I wish we could just stay young
Avoid all the responsibilities
of being eighteen
Chorus
I wish we could stay
seventeen forever
I wish life didn't have to be so hard
Why can't we, stay seventeen
Happily ever afters don't exist in real life
Peter Pan isn't coming for you tonight
Tinkerbell is just a firefly in the night sky
Believing gets harder each year
Chorus
Bridge
I hate having to grow up so fast
Why do I have to leave my childhood behind?
Chorus
-Lilah
Hi!!
*waves sheepishly*
I have not posted a song since......March. oooooooh das bad. My inspiration just was not co-operating.
Inspiration: Oh you want to write a song? Lol, that's funny.
Me: *aggressively slams head into desk*
I finally wrote something!
The story behind it is I'm trying to get over someone. That I never even dated. Pathetic, I know.
I realize that maybe a bunch of other girls he and I know probably have a crush on him also. And they've known him longer and I know now that I don't have a chance. So I'm just going to get over him now and save myself the heartache.
Why
Verse 1.
I never leave my comfort zone
I couldn't talk to strangers even if I tried
You're always in the spotlight
I stay in the background
Chorus
Why can't I talk to you
Why can't I tell you how I feel.
Why don't you notice me
Why must I love you from afar?
Verse 2
I see you standing with your friends
smiling that smile that makes me want you
But all the other girls are talking to you
and I don't stand a chance
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Why does your smile make me want you
Why are you so far away
Why don't you notice me
and why, do I have to watch you fall for her
Repeat Chorus
-Lilah
I'll admit, that was a really bad first post.
But I wrote it at 11:45 at night and I tend to think my writing is fine at that time. 11:45 decisions are not to be trusted!!!!!!!
But then again this whole blog was an 11:45 decision so we will see.......
Anyway let's start over.
This is my second blog. You may know me as Lia from
Catholic Girl Stuff
But you may say, "you call yourself Lilah on this blog" Well Lilah may be closer to my real name than Lia is....... Who knows?
I created this blog for the reasons I sort of explained in the first post. I write song lyrics. I didn't want to post them to Catholic Girl Stuff so I created this.
I hope you all comment and tell me what you think of them. I want to see if I am actually good at writing or if I'm just wasting my time.
I will post the first song tomorrow.
See you then
-Lilah
