A song about trying to write a song that is...something...anything! Trying to break out of a writer's block.
Story behind the song
Written in the middle of summer and the middle of writer's block.
I wasn't creating any songs that I was happy with. So I kept things simple and this was the result. A song about trying to write a song that was....something...anything....decent.
I was listening to a lot of Counting Crows over the summer, and some of it came through in the lyrics and music of this song.
Lyrics
Summertime dares you to make it last longer
Sometimes I care for you to help you feel stronger
She finds her way in the dark nights alone
Reminds me of ways that we all have grown.
Its all there, but you keep searching for something more
Its not fair, is your refrain in the rain from the storm
Its something different, Its something more
A time to be kind to the girl down the hall
You cant be heard over that mindless roar
Counting the crows all lined up in a row
Ill keep on trying to make something good
But I would be lying to say I understood
The last thing I need is your negative vibes
Yet you cant see why Im so quick to say goodbye
Its all there, but you keep searching for something more
Its not fair, is your refrain in the rain from the storm
Its something different, Its something more
A time to be kind to the girl down the hall
You cant be heard over that mindless roar
Counting the crows all lined up in a row
Ohhh. Shes never on time
Ohhh. Shes always on my mind
Its all there, but you keep searching for something more
Its not fair, is your refrain in the rain from the storm
Its something different, Its something more
A time to be kind to the girl down the hall
You cant be heard over that mindless roar
Counting the crows all lined up in a row
