New writing

Just some play-on-word lyrics I wrote the last time I went to open mic night at Coffee on Broadway:

Change: Esther Moore

I’ve been thinking lately ‘bout all the time I’ve lost
I know that there’s a price to pay but I forget the cost
The daily let down of time gone by haunts me in my sleep.
I dread the expense of what I want, because I know it isn’t cheap

And I’ve got a pocket full of change
But I don’t know how to use it
Because it doesn’t make a dollar
And it won’t run a machine
I’m waiting for a different view
Things aren’t always what they seem
And I need change
This seems strange
Something more than laughter
I can’t quite tell what I’m after
But I know it isn’t quite the things in view
I need something more from you

I’ve been all around the town and I know there ain’t nothing out there
Gimme’ something to believe in, I need a bigger reason to care
The daily let down of the time gone by, well it haunts me in my sleep
I dread the expense of the things I want because I know it isn’t cheap

I’ve got a bag that jingles loudly when I walk
And I’ve got jars at home filled clear up to the top
But they wont help me put my life into perspective
I’m gonna need something that’s quite a lot more affective

I’ve got a heart that’s full of wishes, and baby it may be a crime
But if you want to be with me, then you just gotta take the time
To figure out what it is that I need from you
And take the time to try something new

And I’ve got a pocket full of change
But I don’t know how to use it
Because it doesn’t make a dollar
And it won’t run a machine
I’m waiting for a different view
Things aren’t always what they seem
And I need change
This seems strange
Something more than laughter
I can’t quite tell what I’m after
But I know it isn’t quite the things in view
I need something more from you
