A lot of things have changed. For one, I'm now an official performing musician. And, I'm getting paid.
Which is really exciting, by the way.
But on a side note, I've been writing more often then I was for a while there. I've written at least six songs in the last month, and they're good ones. Better than some of the older ones I have, although "goodbye" is still a favorite among my family and friends.
Enjoy.
Again: Esther Moore
I’ll try to fit a lot of words into a four-minute song
And I hope that I can sing without it coming out wrong
There’s been a lotta’ things that I’ve been thinking about
And I’ve waited too long so now I’m letting it out again
Again, Again
I gotta’ let it all out again
Again, Again
And I wanna know the things you hide from me
And I need to be the only one you see
And you need to tell me where you see this going
I can’t go on another day not knowing you
I’ll try to tell you how I feel but I will warn you right now
That the words will not come out but I will sing them somehow
There’s too many things unsaid and now its too late
I’ve been holding all this in and I’m just sealing my fate again
Again, Again
I’ve held all this in and I’m just sealing my fate again
Again, Again
And I wanna know the things you hide from me
And I need to be the only one you see
And you need to tell me where you see this going
I can’t go on another day not knowing you
I need to feel your arms around me now
And I – I can’t be the one to tear you down
I – I will find a way to love you somehow
It may take awhile for me to say those three little words
I’ve been up and I’ve been down and I’ve been better and worse
There’s a chance that you could make me say what you wanna hear
This song is purely for the purpose of making thoughts clear
And I need to know what you would say so please tell me now
If I could ever be the one to make your world spin around again
Again, Again
I wanna be the one to pick you up off the ground
Again, again
Tell me what you’re thinking about
Again, again
‘Cause now it’s time to let it all out
Again, again
And I wanna know the things that I don’t see
And I need to tell you you’re the one for me
And you need to let me know what it is you want again
Again, Again
Tell me what you want again
Again, Again
And we could start over again
Again, Again
Time to let it out again
Again, Again…
Going, Going, Gone: Esther Moore
I try so hard to do things by myself
But I realized I can’t make it on my own
I used to put my needs on the shelf
But now I’m making my needs known
I’m tired of sitting and waiting and wishing for a chance
I’m getting up and I’m trying to move on
This may take a while to balance in this stance
But I’m getting up and I’m going, going gone.
I’m getting out and I’m going, going, gone.
I used to be the one to say “That’s fine”
I’m tired of giving things with nothing in return
I’m finally taking what is mine
And I’m not waiting for “my turn”
I’m not going to sit and wait and wish for a second chance
I’m getting up and I’m trying to move on
I’ll make you need to take a second glance
Because I’m getting up and I’m going, going, gone
I’m getting out and I’m going, going, gone
I don’t have forever
But I don’t need more time
I just need the courage
To finally do what’s right
So I’m not sitting waiting wishing for another second chance
I’m getting up and I’m trying to move on
I’ll do the things it takes to make you take a second glance
And I am get up and I’m going, going, gone
I have gotten up and I’m going, going, gone
I’m outta here, Going Going gone
You can leave your doubts at the door, love
I don’t want your opinions
You can hang your head in the closet with all the thoughts you dread
Or you can come on in and I’ll help you clear your head
You could be the one to falter, I’d love you still the same
I’m not quite sure just what you’re after, maybe you could give it a name
Do you know which way your heart is telling you to go?
Or are you following my every move, hoping someday you’ll know
Wandering which direction to let your love flow
I’ll tell you now that you can send your sins below
Nothing else matters anymore
All you need are these colors and forgiveness,
All you need is an open door
A smile, a frown, and open arms
Nothing can tear your world apart
The world is yours, love
So you can leave your doubts at the door, love
No one wants your opinions
You can hang your head in the closet with all the thoughts you dread
Or you can come on in and I’ll help you clear your head
You could be the one to falter, I’ll love you still the same
I’m not quite sure what you’re after but always remember my name
Let it go and hold on tight
You’re in for a lovely night
The ghosts of what you once had there
Are haunting, flying, everywhere you turn
Things will tear you down, love
But you have to let it build you up again
Fighting every moment ‘till the end
You can’t give up after all this time,
You have to keep the pace
What’s his, what’s hers, what’s yours, what’s mine
It’s all part of the race and the world is yours, love
So you can leave your doubts at the door, love
No one wants your opinions
You can hang your head in the closet with all the thoughts you dread
Or you can come on in and I’ll help you clear your head
You could be the one to falter, I’ll love you still the same
I’m not quite sure what you’re after but always remember my name
I’m not sure just what you want, but just remember my name
