My absurd and talented (absurdly talented?) roommate and I wrote this song together. It’s a rough recording - I was holding her microphone over her as she played the piano and sang - but give it a listen! Hope you like it!
“I will leave the writing on the wall
I will leave a way for you to call
And i wait, and i wait for you to see, and i wait
I will leave my number on the wall
I will buy your drink and drink it all
I will save your seat and take the fall
And I’ll wait, and I’ll wait for you to show, and I’ll wait
I will buy your drink, I will buy your drink and drink it all
If i had one life to give
-different from the one i live-
i would be a no-one, just to take your name
Four steps back to be with you
To the day I say, “i do.”
Finding home in silence, back from where I came
Take your name, take your name.
I will sing my song to stay ahead
I will use the words that we had said
And I’ll wait, and I’ll wait for you to hear, and i’ll wait
I will use those words, I will use our words that we had said
If I had one life to give
-different from the one I live-
I would be a no-one, just to take your name
And if all my dreams come true
Then my dreams would turn to you
In our home of silence, back from where I came
Take your name, take your name”
