• I havent posted something in forever, so heres a new song I just wrote. Goddess I am becoming such a sap....

  If I Called Your Name

  As I worked up the courage to call your name
  The phone clicked
  Knowing that you're 100 miles away
  Makes me sick
  Must've sat in the dark for an hour and a half
  I couldn't stand
  Then suddenly this melody sprung from me
  Unplanned

  [Refrain]
  It said darling I don't want to say
  But my head hurts, baby cant you stay
  I can't sleep and I can't make myself eat today
  I'm trying hard not to cry
  I wanna tell you I'm fine, but it would be a lie
  But please dont worry, shiinela kai
  Cuz tomorrow I'll hear your voice
  When you come home I will rejoice
  And for all these tears I'll just wonder why
  Cuz if I called your name, I know you'd reply

  I was late for work cuz I snoozed the alarm
  Ten times
  Couldn't get coffee on the road cuz all I gots
  Two dimes
  I've been staring at this page but I couldn't tell you what
  It said
  Then unbidden this tune popped right in
  My head

  [Refrian]

  But I dont need to call
  I'm safe in the knowledge
  And I will wait for you
  While your still in college
  Sometimes it will be hard
  And I'll fall to pieces
  But this song is my heart
  And I know you'll keep this

  [Refrain]

  If I called your name I know you'd reply [x2]

  Think I might play it at open mic night (I actually wrote guitar chords for the first time in like 3 years) so let me know what u think.
