Longing for our Love Song

Liner Notes:

Lyric Morph 4!

I had the challenge of following a wonderful lyric by @vivalarayna… I loved the lyric as it was so did not want to morph it! The lyric was about finding your inner happy song - I changed about 50% of the lyrics, kept the same structure, and wrote about a relationship where the love song no longer playing.

Here is the morph thread - we need some people to join!

Lyrics:

Longing for our Love Song

VERSE 1
we have been better
we are not our old selves
where is our connection
is it dusty on a shelf
maybe it's tucked away
in a box under our bed
how will we find it?
and what lies ahead?

PRE-CHORUS
I wish I knew
what we had to do
to get our love song
back in our hearts

I’m longing for
our love song

CHORUS
we no longer hear
music of our love song
we’ve tried to listen
tried to hum along
now we need this weight
off our heavy chests
trying to remember
we were once blessed
so we can someday hear
the music of our
la la la la..love song
once again

VERSE 2
maybe books about love
will help avoid an ending
reading about how to stop
signals sad hearts are sending
like gardens during drought
that won’t even grow weeds
is our love now empty?
not meeting our needs?

PRE-CHORUS
I wish I knew
what we had to do
to get our love song
back in our hearts

I’m longing for
our love song

CHORUS
we no longer hear
music of our love song
we’ve tried to listen
tried to hum along
we need this weight
off our heavy chests
trying to remember
we were once blessed
so we can someday hear
the music of our
la la la la..love song
once again

BRIDGE
no shortage of reasons
of why we got off track
life is full of potholes
detours, and switchbacks
and that's exactly why
we need love to re-grow
looking beyond thunderstorms
trying to find rainbows

CHORUS
we no longer hear
music of our love song
we’ve tried to listen
tried to hum along
we need this weight
off our heavy chests
trying to remember
we were once blessed
so we can someday hear the
the music of our
la la la la..love song
once again

Comments

It's so natural to want a heavy and sorrowful heart to be light in weight. That's a strong human trait, to want that. But it's the tragedy of not being able to get there that gives a (love) song depth. That's very well expressed here.

Love how this turned out! It's such a great Morph and redirection of my original lyrics. I love your earlier one, but you may have surpassed it here. Now we just need someone to Morph yours!

I have my work cut out for me to morph this! You've got a lot of words in there, but I'll see what I can do!
