Re-writing Songs

Lately, I’ve been finding myself singing a whole lot more than usual. So much that I’ve seemed to have conjured up an old hobby, re-song-writing. About a year or two ago, I would find a song I really liked and re-write it. It was pretty good then, so let’s see if the skill is still there.

 

Losin’ Control Re-Write

[Hook]

He’s falling in love now, losing control now

Fighting his truth, trying to hide

But I think it’s alright

Yeah, I think it’s alright

He’s falling in love now, losing control now

Fighting his truth, trying to hide

But I think it’s alright

Yeah, I think it’s alright

[Verse 1]

He’s fallen and he doesn’t know where love be

‘Cause his last relationship flew right past me

Accusations and we act like we don’t know why

Yeah we’re waiting on him, he’ll tell us on his own time

Should’ve ended it before it started

All he ever got was broken hearted

He got cheated on, tried to flip it back on me like a victim

Now we’re all alone and starting over

Now he’s got baggage on his shoulder

But the new guy really loves me

He loves me, but he doesn’t know himself anymore

[Hook]

He’s falling in love now, losing control now

Fighting his truth, trying to hide

But I think it’s alright

Yeah, I think it’s alright

He’s falling in love now, losing control now

Fighting his truth, trying to hide

But I think it’s alright

Yeah, I think it’s alright, boy

[Verse 2]

Despite his past, he can’t help the attraction

He tells me that I’m nothing like the last one

He relives in every way what love was

He fell for me and still hasn’t found love

Every now and then, he goes off, though

Beating on his chest like a bongo

I understand he’s coming from a hurt place

He never answers all the questions on the survey

Doesn’t get jealous, doesn’t break trust

Doesn’t call me, after hang-ups

He gives me everything I ever wanted

And even though he still feels haunted

[Hook]

He’s falling in love now, losing control now

Fighting his truth, trying to hide

But I think it’s alright

Yeah, I think it’s alright

He’s falling in love now, losing control now

Fighting his truth, trying to hide

But I think it’s alright

Yeah, I think it’s alright

 

I know I may be a little rusty, but you get the point. I’d consider myself a little poetic, don’t you think?
