This is the weakest song on the album. Tried writing something like from the album 2 by Mac Demarco. Didn't really work cause his lead riffs are awesome and mine here is like what. I should probably practice my scales, I'm gonna go do that after uploading this...
lyrics
SO I PICKED UP MY GUITAR AND STARTED TO SING
CASHED A ROYALTY CHECK THEN I BOUGHT YOU A RING
BUT ON THE WAY HOME I TURNED AND THREW IT AWAY
TOOK A DIP IN THE LAKE, IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY
TO BE MYSELF
AND YOU WONDER BUT YOU’LL NEVER KNOW
IF WERE MEANT TO BE LOVERS, EVERYONE GOES
TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU WERE AND REMEMBERS YOUR DANCE
I CAN PICTURE IT NOW IF YOU JUST GAVE ME A CHANCE
TO BE MYSELF
