I had a dream a while ago that I was friends with a person I've known for years. Unfortunately we've never really got along for some reason or another. So it has inspired a song.
Recorded using a desktop mic in one take, as usual. There is a terrible cut and paste at the end, which comes through as a volume swell. I was using Audacity and I couldn't find the right tools to get it how I wanted.
Lyrics
Verse
We were somewhere familiar It was like you lived next door Couldn't help but just sit and chat In this dream I had
We were getting along so well Hows it going? Im doing swell The reality's much farther From this dream but I could not tell
Chorus
If only it stayed this way It will be all over I hope that one day Maybe it will be like this
Verse 2
We were sitting on the grass Picking shapes out of the clouds Just because it was not real Does not mean I didn't feel it
Chorus 2
If only it stayed this way It will be all over I hope that one day Maybe it will be like this
Can you see me I wanna try to make it real Just like that night That I dreamt we were friends
Coda
I dreamt that we were friends How could you be so cold Ice in my bed Daemons in my head
I dreamt that we were friends I cant see the reason That we failed
I couldn't sleep and all I could think of was the title. So I decided to expand, and write a song. Just a demo recorded live using the desktop mic, with some harmonies overdubbed.
Lyrics
I'm caught between the start and end of something I can't believe this situations happening As I can see the ends have started fraying And I am And I am again.. I'm caught between the start and the end
I don't really know how I got in It seems there's this rut that I'm stuck in You keep telling me to get out there But I am But I am again.. I'm caught between the start and the end
