I re-demo’d this song before Xmas, while taking a break from working on a different demo. It’s just a simple little song. The lyrics were written way back when I was a teenager, and are about a friend I had back then. I didn’t write the music until about two years ago or so, when I came across some of my old school stuff again, and discovered those lyrics amongst a batch of other, wonderfully embarrassing, songs and lyrics.
But I have a fondness for the song, though it’s fleshed out a lot more in my mind than what I ever record of it, and it’s one of the few songs I’ve written that are about or for a specific person. I’ve written about this song before, when I posted an older demo
(lyrics re-posted after the jump)
Lyrics
Outside the door
she sits and waits
Not wanting to go in at all.Cropped hair
Leather
Screaming for youShe put your head
under the blade
too many times, too many timesThey say she ran away from herself
Too often
But I know,
I know that she’s in trainingRunning for miles,
She could run
For miles, for her.
