A Song About a Song

A simple song I wrote when I couldn't think of anything else to write.

I'm on a roll tonight......

Song About a Song

turn on the radio
a bit of art i can't afford not to hear
i remember our time
i'd sing along, but you're all too near

and it reminds me of a time
.back half my life ago
..when i began to know
...that music was my life

and it reminds me of
a noise after a silence that couldn't end too soon
so prepare yourself
it's the calm before the storm we both know will come

relax and close my eyes
.lay back in the sun
..until the moment is done
...my senses tease my mind

back to reality
can i make my life a tape and just rewind?
let's play make believe
and see to it that this is the soundtrack of tonight

do all your nerves tingle?
.could you stay up all night?
..and would it be alright
...to release this as my life's first single?
