southern rock!
I've been writing songs for 18 years. I'm not the greatest musician/singer, but I love to play!
I started playing when I couldn't get anyone to put the music that I wanted to my lyrics. I love to colaborate with other writers!
Story behind the song
I wrote this song just before my old band split up. It was pretty much what was going on with all of us at the time. Trying to make it work with others getting involved in "their own devices"!
We felt so distant, yet we still seemed so close!
Lyrics
SAFE TO SAY
Sometimes you want, things that you can't have
and be it fortune or fame, it's a never-ending, worn-out path
Sometimes we say, things that we don't mean
but the color in the eyes, of envy are always green
Sometimes you feel, like your back's against a wall
sometimes you gotta swallow your pride, you gotta get up when you fall
I know the right way, ain't always the smoothest road
but that's the price you pay, if you wanna loosen the load
(CHORUS)
And I think it's safe to say, it would've happened anyway
you'll never know unless you try
And I think it's plain to see, it'll happen if it's meant to be
you gotta win that war with your pride
Sometimes we use, a little more than we should
I've got mine, you got yours, we know that it's understood
To each his own way, you gotta spread your wings and fly
you'll see me again some day, if tomorrow doesn't pass me by
(CHORUS)
And I think it's safe to say, I see it happen everyday
some things just fade away before their time
I'll be there if you need me, close your eyes and you will see
my memory will never die
To each his own way, you gotta spread your wings and fly
you'll see me again some day, if tomorrow doesn't pass me by
and I know the right way, ain't always the smoothest road
but that's the price you pay, if you wanna loosen the load
(CHORUS)
And I think it's safe to say, it doesn't matter anyway
but the dreams for which we reach, get lost in a haze
and I hope that you will see, it's the same for you and me
you can, rise above or fade away
