This week, Jacquie and Chrissy tried something new – song lyrics!
Lyrics by Chrissy Schreiber:
“The Vow” – To the tune of “The Vow” by RuthAnne
When the tides are gone and the earth’s caught fire
In frozen rain while the waves grow higher
The sky turns black and the trees conspire
I will love you
When my feet don’t move but I’m feeling fine
I’ll walk next to you always side by side
Fingers twined until the end of time
Still I will love you
“Fancy Things” – To the tune of “Honey +Tea” by Mōzi
I don’t fancy many fancy things
I’m not a sucker for sparkling vanities
You like winter while I’m in love with spring
Boy, you make me want to clone my keys
Girls like diamonds, sparkling golden rings
I’d rather shine where only we can see
I’m content with chatting by the swings
Let’s get tangled up, just you and me
“Armory” – To the tune of “Fortress” by Lennon Stella
You’ve been building these walls
Since the day you first met me
I got lost in the halls
And you’re locked in the armory
You’re ignoring my calls
Waging war and I’m reeling
You won’t tear down these walls
‘Cause you’re locked in the armory
Lyrics by Jacquie Burckley:
“You Got Me Good” – To the tune of “Feeling Electric” by Parade of Lights
Deep breath, don’t look away
Finding something to hold on to
This one is sure to start a fire
Try to focus, keep myself subdued
Share your thoughts my heart takes flight
I will never tell a soul, I lie
You make me want to misbehave
Feels like a tidal wave
You knock me down from where I stood
You got me good
Try to hold on to this moment
Ignore how we got here
Forget where and how and why
This is just what I feared
Share your thoughts my heart takes flight
I will never tell a soul, I lie
You make me want to misbehave
Feels like a tidal wave
You knock me down from where I stood
You got me good
“Rum & Coke” – To the tune of “The Light” by Disturbed
Grey of stone, purple rock
Your death comes without apology
A long pause for the aftershock
I didn’t think this could happen to you
Your eyes are set and locked
I saw you fight without apology
Watch the hours spill off the clock
As you search for your one Savior
You were outlined with chalk
An empty shell, as you slowly withdrew
It’s not a blight, but you’re suffering
Cities and paved roads kept me from you
You understood and knew you had to choose
The darkness is growing heavy
I promise you this
Don’t hold on, I know you are ready
Sometimes you must let everything go
“Beginning” – To the tune of “Ending” by Isak Danielson
Time’s up and she leaves soon
But her scent, it fills up my room
Cascades around me in full bloom
Don’t leave me here
Her eyes blue like lagoon
Hair bright from under the moon
If I don’t run soon then I’m doomed
But don’t leave me here
Didn’t see this at first
This changed into something new
Changed into something new
Something new
Let me be right next to you
It’s you I want to pursue
I’ve never done this before
Maybe I should see this through
She follows while I orchestrate
She’s now a welcomed shadow
It must be worth the wait
Take this slow, slow, adagio
