Song 229

This year is flying by! Only 4 and a half months to go. I still find myself struggling to define a sound. Do I sound enough like myself? Does it make a difference? What am I doing here? I dunno. The goal is elusive. But, I feel like I'm making progress every day. I do need to define a goal though. It's just harder with this type of thing because it's not necessarily quantifiable. It's not like "I want to lose X amount of pounds". Or "I want to make Y amount of money". What is the point? What is the goal? Am I being too cautious? Not cautious enough?

While I figure it out, I'll just keep on writing and recording.

lyrics

Chase me down til I wear out
My heart beats out of my chest
Pin me down to an answer now
It's the same words as all the rest

Test those waters before you dive in
Be sure to look both ways

You're so elusive but I wanna take a chance
Are you a ghost or my last dance
Break my heart, just don't break my resolve

I found you out, you were hiding
I slipped the veil from your face
I have no doubt in your meaning
I exhale this disgrace

Take a look before you leap
Tie your laces tight

You're so elusive but I wanna take a chance
Are you a ghost or my last dance
Break my heart, just don't break my resolve

There's no time to put it off
Or throw caution to the wind
I breathe in

You're so elusive but I wanna take a chance
Are you a ghost or my last dance
Break my heart, just don't break my resolve
