STEEMIT OPEN MIC 107- ORGINAL- REDLIGHT

in #openmic6 years ago (edited)


Hey fam,

Here's my entry for the week! This song is called Red Light and it's about relationship stuff. I wrote it about hitting a particular point in a relationship where both parties feel like they need a bit of space. But being so grossly entangled with one another and borderline co-dependent throughout the relationship, you don't really know how to function without this person. And even though you know you shouldn't- agreed you wouldn't reach out to this person, in moments of weakness you find that you can't help yourself. This is a song about love, longing, hope and an utter and complete disregard for self discipline. I actually wrote it as a duet but I haven't found the right person to sing it with quite yet. I hope you guys dig it ;)

If you have a sec and haven't voted yet, I would really appreciate it if you could vote for me for this Steemfest opportunity below. It would mean the world to me <3 I know its a long shot but I thought I'd try to put myself out there. Thank you so much!!!

Red Light

I've been, lost in, the red light
Trapped somewhere between, twilight and the darkest night you
Threw me into, when you finally came true, said you needed some time
Oh I haven't seen your face in 30 days 10 hours and I'm not alright
It's funny how we always gotta do the things we don't want to
Oh I thought that I was good took a closer look ain't been living without you

I can't keep myself from driving by your spot all the time
I can't keep myself from thinking every hour every night
Of your love
I can't keep myself from thinking bout the things we did right
I can't keep myself from missing you even when we're fighting not talking I still want your love

Lost in wondering where you've been I know we both agreed to not think about it
But sometimes late at night, I swear I can feel you by myside
A lifeboat when I'm drowning

I can't keep myself from driving by your spot all the time
I can't keep myself from thinking every hour every night
Of your love
I can't keep myself from thinking bout the things we did right
I can't keep myself from missing you even when we're fighting not talking I still want your love

You know that, you know that, you know that I'm trying,
To leave it alone give us some time
But I can't help it, I'm in my feelings and I get stuck on you
You know that, you know that, you know that I'm dying
To leave it alone give us some time
But love I'm hurting and I don't want to be alone
With me, me, myself and I
With me, me, myself and I

You know that, you know that, you know that I'm trying,
To leave it alone give us some time
But I can't help it, I'm in my feelings and I get stuck on you
You know that, you know that, you know that I'm dying
To leave it alone give us some time
But love I'm hurting and I don't want to be alone
