Now or Never

Now or Never

A Poem by empiethree

Me telling myself that when something feels right, I should act, not procrastonate. But at the same time thr lyrics run much deeper than that. Why should we have fake relationships to quench what is fundamentaly a selfish human need?

"

 

Now or Never
 
For a while now I’ve put off writing this track
Cause it about a girl, well you in fact
You see three years ago I believed in love
And three years ago I was naïve enough
To think you’re the one enough for me
Spend days and nights of eternity
In a love drugged state for the world to see
But loves not real, its just biology
The laws of attraction are flawed so much
Surprise we’re humans when it comes to the crunch
Our ways wont change and we’re outta luck
Because we think we’re so different
Superior in fact
But we’re just animals and that’s a fact
So I used to think love was like a nursery rhyme
Being in love for a very long time
But I couldn’t realise in this state of mind
That I would never be yours
And you would never be mine
And for a minute I couldn’t even fake this time
Talking to you feels like a crime
Cause love is true if you live or you die
But love at first sight is a horrible lie!
 
I said I’d love you till the day I died
Well I died yesterday
I said I’d love you for eternity
But that’s been and gone my way
I said I’d love you for a thousand reasons
All four seasons I prayed
 
This is the closest to a love song that you will read
About the definitions of love that live in me
Cause music and TV have got it all wrong
Loves not something that can be described in a song
And love is not something we’ve had all along
I was fifteen when I started talking to you
Maybe sixteen I started flirting with you
And now seventeen wishing I knew
All the nice things for you I did and said
We’re coming from somewhere else
Not from my head
Being a red blooded male now I can’t trust myself
Everyday interrogating myself asking why
I used to think love was like a nursery rhyme
Being in love for a very long time
But I couldn’t realise in this state of mind
That I would never be yours
And you would never be mine
And for a minute I couldn’t even fake this time
Looking at you feels like a crime
Cause love is true if you live or you die
But love at first sight is a horrible lie!
I said I’d love you till the day I died
Well I died yesterday
I said I’d love you for eternity
But that’s been and gone my way
I said I’d love you for a thousand reasons
All four seasons I preyed….
God bless you
 
So I used to think love was like a nursery rhyme
Being in love for a very long time
But I couldn’t realise in this state of mind
That I would never be yours
And you would never be mine
And for a minute I couldn’t even fake this time
Loving you feels like a crime
Cause love is true if you live or you die
But love at first sight is a f**king lie!
 
I said I’d love you till the day I died
Well I died yesterday
I said I’d love you for eternity
But that’s been and gone my way
I said I’d love you for a thousand reasons
All four seasons I preyed….
God bless you
Everyday I’d look up and prey someday you would sing to me
God bless you
Every night I would start to recite but the lyrics would never leave me
God bless you
There was a time I’d fly
My spirit light the sky
I’d be yours and you’d be mine forever
But till that awesome day
My dreams would fade away
Should have told myself its now or never
 
Now or never
 
Now or never….

Not your average love song is it? Before I went political however, I did write a lot of alternative love songs. I will try and find some more to share with you.
