Song Title: Talking Straight. Style: Alt
Verse 1
Facing up it just ain't easy... I could talk all day and never get anywhere... No one cares...
Who makes he truth up, Baby? We ain't living some movie script... Anyway... Today is today...
Verse 2
Sit yourself down next to me... Maybe we can find out what it takes... Before one of us breaks...
You can't hold my heart forever... Nothing I can keep from you... And you know it's true...
Hook
Maybe we could
catch a thought to reasoning... Tell me all your hearts desires, I'll make it true... Shouldn't be no doubt in you...
Catch my hand and I'll pull you up... Hop a train and ride right out of here...Take my hand... It's a good plan...
Instrumental …...................................................... Short Lead ….............................................................
Verse 3
Maybe all my words are gritty. But my mind is comin' 'round... I know I let you down...
Yeah I been slippin', Baby... Stopped doin' the things I used to do... But you know... I love you...
Verse 4
Talking straight the truth ain't pretty... But it's all I have to give to you... Can't we make it do?
Maybe we could compromise. But it's like your mind is set in stone... Even so, I can't let you alone...
Hook
Maybe we could
catch a thought to reasoning... Tell me all your hearts desires, I'll make it true... Shouldn't be no doubt in you...
Catch my hand and I'll pull you up... Hop a train and ride right out of here...Take my hand... It's a good plan...
Instrumental …...................................................... Long Lead ….............................................................
Verse 5
Let me lay my heart right out for you... There's so much that you should know... It's waiting to go...
We can fix this, Baby. Just pull me close to you and hold me tight... I love you... It's all we got tonight...
(Slow to intimate guitar) ............................................................................................................................
Hook 2
Maybe we could
Catch a train to never never land... Tell me all your hearts desires, I'll make it true... It's all I wanna do...
Put your hand in mine and we'll ride that train right out of here...Take my hand... It's a good plan...
(Back to regular tempo)..............................................................................................................................
Hook
Maybe we could
catch a thought to reasoning... Tell me all your hearts desires, I'll make it true... Shouldn't be no doubt in you...
Catch my hand and I'll pull you up... Hop a train and ride right out of here...Take my hand... It's a good plan...
Why I Wrote It:
This song is maybe even better than New York City. I wrote them both this morning. It speaks to me about someone, so it has become personal, probably was while I wrote it. Probably why I wrote it.
