Lyrical.

I haven’t written song lyrics since I was about 17 and full of angst and yet tonight by some act of nature or sheer boredom or an unseen force of inspiration I have written a full set of lyrics in less than ten minutes. Granted, this means they’re rough. It also means that they might be horribly dreadful. PLUS there’s that nagging part where I can’t play an instrument and therefore can’t turn them into anything more than just lyrics on paper. BUT! I CAN share them with any readers I might have out there in the universe. So here you go. Keep in mind one thing as you read them: I envision them to be pop-punky or just plain punk-ish in my head. I say ‘-ish’ because I have NO idea how to write a punk song
Enjoy.

Whatever You’re Thinking, I’m Not
By Precariously Unflappable

I don’t drive the right car, I don’t have the right moves
I don’t wear the right clothes and I don’t know how to choose
I won’t impress your mother but I wouldn’t want to
I got one thing going for me, and baby that’s you

Candy hearts tied up with strings
Telling you I’d do anything
Will you be mine? Will you be mine? Will you be mine?
Like a single song on repeat
If you’ll dance with me I’ll try not to step on your feet
Will you be mine? Will you be mine? Will you be mine?

I don’t have the right job, I don’t have a degree
I don’t set the alarm and I don’t know how to agree
I won’t dazzle your friends but I wouldn’t want to
I got one thing going for me, and baby that’s you

Candy hearts tied up with strings
Telling you I’d do anything
Will you be mine? Will you be mine? Will you be mine?
Like a single song on repeat
If you’ll dance with me I’ll try not to step on your feet
Will you be mine? Will you be mine? Will you be mine?

I don’t make excuses, I don’t apologize
I don’t know how to love and I tell a lot of lies
I won’t make you believe but I wouldn’t want to
I got one thing going for me, and baby that’s you

I laugh the loudest at the silver screen
I tend to scream at everything in between
I may not have class but I like your style
I think you should be mine for a while

Candy hearts tied up with strings
Telling you I’d do anything
Will you be mine? Will you be mine? Will you be mine?
Will you be mine? Will you be mine? Will you be mine?
I’d do anything
