two new songs

These both probably suck terribly. But - they're my two most recent ones. I'm up to 4 now.. hooray...

This one is probably called "The Better Stuff"

You gave it a shot
It wasn't all that you thought it would me
MMmm... MMmm...

Yea you risked it all
You weren't afraid to fall
You never thought it was a possibility

And now your falling
Back to a life you thought was through
And I'm here calling
With open arms I've been waiting for you

Because you thought that you were leaving
to find bigger better things,
when I've been here since the very start.
I guess we needed to be miles apart-
For you to see that what you need
is to be at home with me.
We'll make a little life, full of love..
'Cuz baby, that's the better stuff

You nearly drowned
That's why you're coming back 'round.
MMmm... MMmm...
To where you can breathe,
where you can actually be
The man you are who we all love to see

You were trying
to be who you thought you wanted to be,
And now you're finding
That your idea of perfection can't beat reality

Because you thought that you were leaving
to find bigger better things,
when you'd been grand since the very start.
I guess you needed to be miles apart
from home to see that what you need
is to continue to be
your perfect little self - full of love
Cuz baby, that's the better stuff

Your story isn't easy - in no way a fairy tale
You wanted to start over - so we all wished you well
But the truth is baby, no matter how hard you try
The grass is never greener on the other side

And now you're back,
with a clearer mind,
ready to reclaim,
your former life

Because you thought that you were leaving
to find bigger betterthings -
when you had it all since the very start -
now you know you needed to be miles apart
from home to see that what you need
is to learn and grow to be -
your complete and perfect self - who we all love
cuz baby, you're the better stuff.

This one i just finished today so it could probably use some serious tweaking - just kind of needed to get it out for therapeutic reasons ... I'm going to call this one "Marching" (it makes a lot more sense when you actually hear it)

Falling, falling, falling,
This is wear we are going.
Down, down, down,
and here we are.

Back to where we started,
before the first time we parted.
I had faith
this was for good.

But now I see,
baby, you and me
are the ones
who just can't be.

Because you and I together
have never been better
than us on our own
separately.
'Round in circles we are runnin',
searching for something
that can save us
graciously.

You say you love me.
You're the best thing for me.
So why, why, why can I not feel
the simple way of knowing,
and naturally showing
this is it - this is for real.

I long so, dear,
to have that feeling near;
That you're the one,
without a fear.

We used to be better
living life together,
than on our own,
separately.
Now 'round in circles I am runnin',
searchin for something
that can save us
graciously.

I don't know if it's you, babe,
I don't know if it's me.
But my heart keeps screaming for me to be free.
I care too much to hurt you
when you've done nothing wrong,
But baby, I've been forcing smiles and kisses
too long.

Now baby you and I together
will never be better
than us on our own
separately.
'Round in circles I am runnin',
searching for somethin' -
but there's nothin'
that could save me.
