A song about songwriting and writers block.
Story behind the song
Ive been listening to a lot of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers lately, and I think you can hear some of the influence in this song. Its a song about songwriting, and writers block. After going many months without being able to write a song, I wanted to prove to myself that I could still do a halfway decent job.
Definitely not my best work, but at least Im trying to break out of that slump.
Lyrics
You look at me like I was nothin
Well baby let me tell you something
You may not think much of me
But that only goes and sets me free
I try my best, sometimes I fall
But dont that happen to us all
Ill be trying until that final call
Yeah but dont that happen to us all
I got something to prove
But if it dont move you, it aint worth doin
Cause I got something to prove
Yeah I got something to prove
When Im stuck and need a shove
When it fails to come to me from above
I just need a little love
Thats when youre the one Im thinking of.
The pen scribbles and the notes flow
Theres one thing that you should know
So many times when I feel all alone
Thats the time my inspiration grows
I got something to prove
But if it dont move you, it aint worth doin
Cause I got something to prove
Yeah I got something to prove
Some people they have nothing to prove
They spend their time riding a groove
Maybe they have something to hide
Maybe they are just afraid to try.
I got something to prove
But if it dont move you, it aint worth doin
Cause I got something to prove
Yeah I got something to prove
