585: Breaking the dry spell
Eleanor*
Eleanor, with nothing to prove, and so much to learn
Blow out your candle when you can, then let another one burn
Spread out your wings when you find the strength, right now I know it seems hard
Worry you won't when the time is right, it won't be too far
From him you're flying away
And you'll breathe easy someday
And all your beauty will shine
But it already does in my eyes
Eleanor, you're so young, your life has barely started
But you've seen the storm, been in the eye, and now the sea has parted
You'll take a step into the fold when you find the courage
The world awaits with wide open arms, then you'll see the Sun will flourish
When you lose what you've cherished
You've never known pain like this
But soon your beauty will shine
Like it already does in my eyes
(*Note: I'm going back and forth by using this fictional name, and the real name in this song. It may change. I don't know. That, and using the real name makes me feel kinda creepy for some reason.)
It's funny how things relatively unrelated to you can somehow inspire you. In any case, it had been at least 3 months since I'd finished a song, until today, when I cranked out two songs, both inspired by the same thing.
Superguy
You've been cryin' and I've been there before
It's times like these it feels like nothing could hurt more
When the tears, they burn the sides of your cheek
Of you're trying to be strong, but all you feel is weak
Bridge:
But it took strength to say you're going away
After you couldn't take another excuse to stay
And it takes time to finally say you're fine
But if you want, right now I'll wipe the tears from your eyes
Chorus:
If you need someone to say everything will be alright
Then you can keep me right by your side tonight
And if you need to get away I'll take you for a ride
If you want I can be your SuperGuy
It's not easy, no one said it would be
It's not your fault that he's a mess and he left you stressed
But the tears will dry after they roll of your cheek
You're trying to be strong, but it's okay to feel weak
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
I don't wear a cape
I don't fly through the air
But I won't make the mistake
Of making you feel like I don't care
I don't know why these songs make me feel weird. Maybe because I'm really socially distant from the inspiration. Maybe I shouldn't feel weird, they're just songs.
