This song started with lyrics from Amanda, who posted them to the forum where we would share songs in high school. I wrote music to fit the words. She doesn’t remember what it’s about, but says it’s “probably Twilight”.
Tracks:
1 and 2: 12-string guitar
3 and 4: vocals
Lyrics:
You’re the dregs in my coffee mug
Your eyes are lightning bugs
Flying around my head as I try to sleep
Your words they leave a bitter taste
Your hands are like razor blades
Slice right through as you try to hold me
Can you feel this
Darling can you feel this?
Can you feel this
Darling can you feel this?
Your voice is grinding in my ears
Your height confirms all my fears
Standing over me and looking down
You’re keeping me away from me
Your strong arms won’t let me see
The side of you that only sees me frown
Can you feel me now
Darling can you feel me?
Can you feel me now
Darling can you feel me?
Can you feel this
Darling can you feel this?
Can you feel me now
Darling can you feel me now?

I am a big fan of Amanda's writing. It's very direct and clean but in a way that packs a punch in each line

this sounds like something that could have been played as end credits for 1 Trait Escape with the almost medieval sound of the 12-string. Loved it!!
