Suddenly Changin'

<Old. Strange. Whatever. Enjoy! :) >

I turn around and things start changing,
Turnin' upside down and rearranging,
SUDDENLY!
And I don't think that it's just me.
I blink my eyes and nothing's the same.
Is it just some awful kinda game?
I turn around and things start changing,
SUDDENLY!
Turnin' upside down and rearranging,
SUDDENLY!
Could it be?
Is it really just me?
'Cause nothing's like it's supposed to be.
Suddenly...
Or are things really the same?
Who can be blamed?
When I turn around and things start changing-
SUDDENLY!
Turnin' upside down and rearranging-
SUDDENLY!
And I don't think that it's just me.
Even the words to this song;
Was it always this long?
Nothing in my life's the way it's supposed to be.
Or is it just me?
This is not like me.
Or have I been wrong all along?

Cause I turn around and things start changing...
SUDDENLY!
Turnin' upside down and rearranging...
SUDDENLY!
I blink my eyes and nothing's the same... (x3)

Off The Top Of My Head

 < This is a link to a poem I wrote on "Power Poetry" ; they messed it up though, because it was supposed to be in the style of a "concrete poem", and they rearranged the lines. :P >

Confident And Sisterly

<Because I LOVE songs about friendship, here's another one!>

Now that you are gone and far away,
I realize just how close we are.
I can never find quite the words to say;
Nothing goes that far.
You are more than just a friend to me;
This love is confident and so sisterly.

Now that miles and hours keep us apart,
I feel like part of me is missing;
But I'll always carry you in my heart,
And I'll keep waiting,
For the time that brings you back to me.
This love is confident and so sisterly.

Memories in frames upon my shelf,
Serve as gentle reminders to me,
That I will not always be by myself;
You will be with me.
There's a love that unites you and me;
This love is confident and so sisterly.

Liar

<This is a very sarcastic song. It's very old, and certainly not my best, but it goes perfectly- or almost perfectly- with my Miscellania post. If you don't know what that is, that is my other blog. It is not a song blog. If I do not know you, you will nevereverever see it. I can guarantee that. If I do know you, I probably sent you an invite, and I encourage you to compare it with this song for a few chuckles... or... something. anyway, here's the song!>


Everyone loves a liar,
'Cause a liar's so easy to love.
To always tell you what you want to hear,
A liar can't lie enough.
Everyone loves a liar,
'Til the truth strips away their lies.
Since everyone is really a liar,
It's the truth that we all despise.
Everyone loves a liar,
Until the liar comes clean.
Everyone loves a liar,
As from the truth we glean.*
Everyone loves a liar,
'Cause a lie's easy to adore.
Everyone loves a liar,
It's the truth that they can't afford.
Everyone loves a liar,
'Cause a liar's so easy to love.
To always tell you what you want to hear,
A liar can't lie enough.
Everyone loves a liar,
'Til the truth strips away their lies.
Since everyone is really a liar,
It's the truth that we all despise.


* Yep, it's another asterisk! Here are all the versions I've written of this line; please help me perfect it!:
It's truth-telling that's so hard to redeem

It's the truth that can be so mean

It's the truth that won't set you free

As from the truth we glean

Train Wreck From Hell

< A song about being tired of other people trying to force their stereotypes and opinions and personal rules on you. A song about wishing for a better life; one without as much pressure; one where you make less mistakes; one where people notice all the good things about you instead of all the bad ones.> 


Life is rarely all that,
It is cut out to be;
A thousand different people,
Throwing their opinions at me.
Sometimes it's a train ride;
Sometimes it's a train wreck,
From Hell.
Someday I'll solve the puzzle;
For now I've got to break the spell.
I am still the girl who's
Her own worst enemy;
Tired of a world that,
Thinks it's got the better of me.
I tell the world to shut it,
I tell the world to get out of
My hair;
Tell it I really don't care.
I've got more important things
To worry about;
Like how to get out.
I just wanna get out,
Of this train wreck from Hell.

Nothing Feels Real

Nothing feels real,
I suppose that it's my fault.
Nothing feels real,
Nothing but my own heart.
The world keeps turnng,
The sun still rises and falls,
But everything feels changed,
Even what hasn't changed at all.
The trees are still wood,
And the rocks are still stone;
My truest friend's heart,
Will always be gold.
I miss her in the morning,
I miss her in the night;
I will miss her till the spans of time,
Bring her back to my side.
Nothing feels real,
I suppose that it's my fault.
Nothing feels real,
Nothing but my own heart.
The whole world feels changed,
Though it hasn't changed at all;
Not much more than Summer,
Changes to the Fall.
Nothing feels real,
Nothing feels real,
Nothing feels real,
But the pain in my heart.

Card Houses

< To be honest, I got the idea for this song from a scene in Suzanne Collins' book, "Mockingjay", which is the final book in the "Hunger Games" trilogy. See if you can go back and guess which scene it was. :)>
Standing on the sidelines,
Pretending it's a good time,
Pretending we have learned
From our mistakes.
But we've gone from laughing
To just smiling,
And from giving hugs
To giving handshakes.
REFRAIN:
Are we, are we,
Just building card houses?
Are we, are we,
Just wasting our time?
One mistake makes us tremble,
And it all comes tumbling down.

Walking home together,
Talking about the weather,
Like we have forgotten
How it once was.
The way we used to talk
About our tears,
The way we once shared
our joys and our fears.
REFRAIN

This used to be the day
That you called me every year;
Now I wait by the phone
And nothing hear.
Oh how I miss you voice;
The way it sounds!
The way it lifts me
When I've hit the ground.
REFRAIN

Our love is only built,
Like card houses,
Card houses.
Our love keeps falling down,
Like card houses,
Card houses.
If I just hear your name,
I start building again;
Card houses,
Card houses,
Card houses.
REFRAIN

Card houses,
Card houses,
Card houses.
It all comes tumbling;
Card houses,
Card houses,
Card houses.

My Dear Friends

< I wrote this a few days before I got to visit my friends in Fort Wayne, who I miss again already. This is for you, Naina-Bird, Jewelly-Juel, and Kimmy!>

My dear friends,
So far away,
I can't await,
The coming day,
When I will see you again.
I will see you soon,
I'm getting ready;
It's been too long.
My dear friends,
You know me well;
I won't hide these tears;
You can already tell.
My dear friends,
I'm on my way;
I will be there,
In just six days.
My dear friends,
Please don't worry;
A little distance,
Will never change me.
My dear friends,
Close to my heart,
This song's for you,
While we're still apart.


Sweet Innocence

< This is a song about getting older, and remember being young and carefree and not knowing or worrying about the things you do when you grow up. Naina-Bird, is this the same as the version I sent you? I can't remember if I edited it when I sent your copy. :P :) >

Sweet Innocence,
I miss you;
The days I knew just what I had were few.
Sweet Innocence,
You're now gone,
But I couldn't get in trouble,
 I was just a kid havin' fun.
Sweet Innocence,
You changed me,
You made me someone that I can no logner be.
Sweet Innocence,
Gone with my friends;
Now we know that all good roads come to an end.
Sweet Innocence,
It feels so strange,
Being the only girl around here who's my age.
Sweet Innocence,
From days gone by,
Now I'll warn my sisters,
You only last the blink of an eye.
Sweet Innocence,
Now I must say,
Goodbye, Goodbye, To my childhood days.

Best Friends

< Since "Not Every Song" was so popular, I thought I'd try writing another song along those lines, without copying that one. This is the result, and I must say, I'm very pleased with it!!! The "True Friendship is..." picture was the closest thing I could find to a guy and girl sitting together and not looking in love. Please tell me if you find something better! I wanted one with the guy comforting the girl or something...  Also, is there a better picture I can use at the end...? Maybe I can get something from some of you that actually ARE Just Friends- or would that be too weird? :/ :P :) ANYWAY, let's get on with this post...>

Do you realize how fragile a thing this is?
We walk a fragile line most people fall off of.
They don't know how it is we do this,
But we do okay, we'll just keep muddling through it.
'Cause no matter what comes our way,
I think it's safe to say,
That we are friends just friends just friends just friends.
We are friends just friends just friends just friends.
We'll always be best friends.

Sometimes we sit outside and laugh at eachother;
Some old ladies smile, cuz they think we're together.
They don't know that we're only playing,
Just like we did when we were young and no one cared,
And love's nothing to do with it.
Despite what people say,
We're only friends just friends just friends just friends,
We are friends just friends just friends just friends.
We'll always be best friends.


 You just listen to me when I sit down and cry,
And I tell you you're a great guy, a great guy,
Sorry, I never felt this crazy,
I don't know what gotten over me today.
You say you know and it's okay,
Everyone has their days;
It's good we're friends just friends just friends just friends,
We are friends just friends just friends just friends,
We'll always be best friends.

Every on and then we have fights and we slam doors,
And I'll swear I'm not talking to you anymore,
But we need each other, so I know,
I'll forgive you and you'll forgive me if you can.
You say nothing can go so far,
That we regret we are,
And will always be friends just friends just friends,
We are friends just friends just friends just friends,
We'll always be best friends.
