Emily Bugler Belmont Songwriting Audition 2022 (Emily & Red Rocks)

Emily
I knew it as soon as the fountain turned on
When the moon met your eyes as you play your sad songs
I fell helplessly over the ledge and into your arms
And if you don’t love me back- its fine-i'll just resort to self harm
I know I’m unwell for thinking you’d stay, when you won’t
I know it’s crazy to live a life for someone that you don’t
Know-
God I’m tired of chasing converse that look like yours
And I’ll save all these tears and tunes for behind closed doors
I had another dream you asked to marry me
And I loved the way your last name sounds with Emily
And I can’t tell if its a sign exactly
But it's at least a reason to keep living
I know you’re tired of hearing me complain
And I know you’re sick of hearing me say your name
God I’m tired of hearing only bass
Get out of my head. I feel deranged.
Please see me
You're the reason I have a heartbeat
Please don’t leave me
You’re the reason I’m breathing
inhale
Red rocks
Verse 1
Red rocks
On the left side of the gateway to the west
Time stops
In the canyon as the man goes on its way
Verse 2
The man said at red rocks
The nights, I’m told
The nights grow cold
He says at Red rocks
The nights, they say
have nothing on the day
Pre-Chorus
They’re hot as hell (x2)
Chorus
From the East the sun will rise
The night and day compromise
That’s when the colors all seep through
The colors fading from their blue
That’s when red rocks gets its hue.
Verse 3
Red rocks
On the far side of the landslide by the bay
Time stops
as the sun sets all the way
Verse 4
At Red rocks
The canyons deep, the canyons long
At red rocks
Man is tempted to belong
Pre-Chorus
It’s dark as hell
Chorus
From the East the sun will rise
The night and day compromise
That’s when the colors all seep through
The colors fading from their blue
That’s when red rocks gets its hue.
