A Waste of Space (song)

Um, a song about what I don't what to be, but what I am a lot of the time.

G___________________C
There was a man always looking up
and a girl who couldn't not look down.
They walked upon the same ground,
and they never once looked around.
Well the grass was blue and the sky green
and her hair it was velveteen.
The stood shoulder to shoulder, nose to nose
treading on each others toes.
Well they shuffled along in their misery
not seeing what the other could see.
Now the only thing he loved was the moon,
he ignored the girls he made swoon.
 
Chorus: (D, C, G, C)
Time passes slow when we're on our own,
alone in a crowd, empty at home.
Turn off the light's, lock the door
and fall asleep in your clothes on the floor
and just be a waste, a waste of space

V:
My fears could not be corrected
cause I couldn't control how I projected.
My thoughts and my words are jumbled confusion
just like the end of this union.

Well I don't want to be a waste,
a waste, waste, waste of space
Not a waste of space, not today.

An overgrown mirror for an undergrown soul
will she ever feel whole?
Lipstick smears across her face
foundation rubs off onto her lace.

(Chorus)

Ending:
The interesting thing about me
is that I have nothing to bring
to the table, to the table
to the table, to the table.

Time passes slow when we're on our own
alone in a crowd, empty at home.
Turn on the TV and off the phone
I'm doing fine on my own.
And I will be a waste of space,
a waste, waste, waste of space.

This was great. Way to start writing songs right out the gate. That's what I did on the guitar and I think that's the best way to learn. I think the person that is the subject of this makes a very valuable point about modern life and how there's so many meaningless lives robbing the oxygen of the people trying to get something out of life.

Wonderful lyrics tell a story, and yours certainly do. Keep up the work, and I look forward to seeing more of your work! :)
