Day 3 - Oh Well, Farewell

Interesting day in songwriting. I finished this song and nearly completed two others in one day. In fact, I wasn't sure which one I would finish and share. When it rains, it pours, I suppose. Look for the other songs in the near future.

This song is called "Oh Well, Farewell," and it's the shortest song I've ever written. But that's deliberate. Like the subject itself - a relationship that was just getting started but ends abruptly - so does the song. Hope you enjoy.

Lyrics after the jump.

Oh Well, Farewell

You waited for a lifetime
But you didn't heed that call
You say it's not the right time
So you do not try at all
You don't feel your own potential
You don't feel anything at all
While your whole life's torrential
You make me feel so small

Well, oh well
Well, farewell

The time for charm is passing
It already set sail that night
And if this ain't everlasting
At least you're a pretty sight
You don't care about your future
You just care about your past
If I choose to choose her
Will she let her let it last?

Well, oh well
Well, farewell

Something isn't right here
You're lying to my face
Everything is out of place
How could you do that
And pretend that it's alright
