Alive by Default

A song I'm toying with. With a few exceptions, each line is 8 beats, and / represents seperate measures. Well, sort of. I try to keep the literary peice, so it's not always divided EXACTLY onthe beat, but... You get the drift. Besides, nobody gets to hear

We met, we talked/Our busy lives kept us apart

But we were able to/Make time together

It's strange how we/Could fall in love so easily

And I'm still nervous it's/All just a dream

 

This can't be wrong/It feels so right

Then why am/I afraid?

I guess I'm/Just recallin' the

Past and situations I've been in

I'm tryin'/hard to find a rock

A stronghold so/I don't lose my head

But then my/Mind wanders to you

I lose my grip on rationale /And now I'm

Free once again

 

Chorus

 

My soul is/Dancin' in the wind

A light of/Joy is shinin' in my life

Sittin' here next/To you I know that this is true

It's love and/I'm alive

 

(that's as far as I've gotten so far)
