    For verse 2:
    ‘cause you’re a bad nostalgia
    like a dust in my eyes
    i have to get it out
    but there’s no use you’re all in my head
    even when i call others name
    you’re the one who stuck all time
    and your out of sight but
    never out of my mind (mind)
    Im at the place that we used to go
    when we watched summer turn to fall
    feel the sun as i fall for you
    and then days went by,
    and you had to say goodbye
    now you’re the one who turns my summer into fall
    took my bright colors and painted all gray
    as i sit right here and remember your smile
    as long as im alive you’ll be forever in my mind
    LMAO THIS ONE TURNED OUT SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAT I EXPECTED TO BE

    I’ve written about 70 songs during this last year in quarantine. Most I feel like are pretty good, but I think that others need help. And I also forget the melodys I’ve come up with so recording it on the voice memos app helps a lot.

    I wrote a song in 2020 and it still gets stuck in my head so I sing it in my room a lot.
    🎵
    I started here and I hope you find a girl who looks like a Bird
    For you have fade away from here
    Don't you cry my baby girl
    I whisper things that damage you and you cry like a girl, who fade away with Apple Pies
    Where is home and where is Rome?
    So far away from here my girl
    Can't you hear my little dove?
    Hissing like the Cat who fade away
    And now she sleeps with a blank stare
    Where is home and where is Rome?
    I passed out where I belong
    Swimming through the lakes of time
    Dreaming of a better time
    When you whispered in my ears
    Where is home and where is Rome?
    I forgot things that hurt my soul
    And now I sleep with a blank stare
    No Garden Gnome will haunt my dreams
    Where is Rome and where is Home?

    I want to write an acoustic song about a girl I like. I have the tuning in D standard (DGCFAD) and I was watching this last night when the song title came to me. I was going to call it About A Girl, similar to that of Nirvana’s song but a different vibe, but then I thought, since she’s the girl I want to be with, I called it “You’re The Girl” and that’s as far as I’ve gotten. I have the chords I came up with about a year ago when I was doodling on my electric guitar, as it was originally going to be about my then girlfriend, and because I suck at writing lyrics this video helped me a lot. We will be in college next year and maybe I might have a chance for a relationship with her

      i usually just keep messing around with it, i try different chords, different capos, different order of the chords, and eventually something sticks but it’s a LOT of trial and error! keep at it💓💓
