So Enough

I saw this talk show where this very obese woman had been proposed to by this dude who said they could get married only once she lost 400 lbs. She began exercising to lose the weight but a week in she died from the strain.

lyrics

You come to me
Saying you’ll wait away
You’re tellin me
No matter what they say
You’re tellin me
You’ll be waiting with a ring
Right there for me
And I know I’m big
But I’ll work all day
I’m tellin you
I’ll cut this weight away
I’m tellin you
I’m gonna work all day

Said enough
In my heart I want you so enough
In my heart I want you so enough
In my heart I want you so enough

I know I’m big
But I worked all week
I’m telling you
And I never ever cease
I’m tellin you
It’s not beyond my reach

I’m sorry my love
I pushed it to hard
I pushed and I wasn’t thinking
I’m sorry my love
I pushed it too hard
I pushed and I’m really sinking

What’s That Now

This is an old song I had from a couple years back, thought it might fun to rehash it. It wasn’t fun at all. My throat hurts and I have to pee.

What’s that now?
You say your finding it hard to see
What’s that now?
You should have given your heart to me
What’s that now?
You say you’re feeling it finally
What’s that now?
You say your finding it hard to see
What’s that now?
You should have given your heart to me

Cause when I noticed you
I noticed there’s no guarantee
That you would notice that I noticed you so cautiously
And so I waited there for I don’t know quite honestly
Please talk to me and belong to me

Cause when I called on you
I meant to call you privately
But you seem to have
Your friends around you constantly
And I know I should have told you all this properly
But please talk to me and belong to me and oh

What’s that now?
You say your finding it hard to see
What’s that now?
You should have given your heart to me

DC

this is about a hypothetical situation where a girl I like gets a job in D.C.

You’ve taken this job
Down in DC
What about me?
And the promise of us
Won’t you stay?
Won’t you stay a while

Will go by a car?
Will you go by a train?
Will you go by the ocean?
Wherever you are
It will be the same
I’ll live with the pain

All over my heart

And one day I came
Down to DC
You forgot about me
And the things that you said
Won’t you stay?
You wouldn’t stay a while

And I used all my words
And I tried to explain
And I made several notions
But you wouldn’t believe
And it all was the same
I live with the pain

All over my heart

Not a Lot

So this week’s song is a perfect example of how I sometimes very loosely base lyrical content on real life events. It’s usually a specific story to represent a more general whole, which is actually a synecdoche I think. Although, I have been experiencing a situation like this with one person in particular (why she doesn’t necessarily want to be with someone that writes 15 songs a week about how we don’t exist totally baffles me), I really mean for the song to be an allusion to the seemingly never ending “back and forth” in dating. I sent the track to some people with the subject something like “happy song, yay”, although it’s not happy at all, only somewhat in comparison to my other recent tunes. Still take it in while you can, I promise next week to have you once again pondering mortality and these girl or guy problems will be trivial garbage. Huzzah!

Lyrics:

So I see her once a week
The other days are dark and bleak
When I found her I was a king
But that don’t mean anything

She wants me
She wants me not
She wants love but not a lot

Asking questions constantly
Cause everything is bittersweet
Just what is she looking for?
Cause I don’t know anymore

So I try to say to her
If there’s someone you prefer
Can i still see you once a week?
The other days are dark and bleak
