2018-06-20 EDITED LYRICS--COMP VERSION
VERSE 1
I'm traveling through time and space, leaving my empty past behind
Trying to remember it's not a race, looking for an encouraging sign
Have I found my destination? Will I ever really know?
I was broken; now I'm mending. I can let my frailty show.
CHORUS
I don't mind if you walk with me
I kinda like the company
We were never meant to be alone
We're messy together but we're not made of stone
VERSE 2
I was tired of being lonely; pain had brought me to the floor
No one ever really knew me, but I never cared before
Time had stripped away my numbness, bared my insecurity
Until I found the strength in closeness, so I could live less cynically
CHORUS
I don't mind if you walk with me
I kinda like the company
We were never meant to be alone
We're messy together but we're not made of stone
BRIDGE
River of contentment
Eases my mind
We pass together
No one left behind
CHORUS x2
I don't mind if you walk with me
I kinda like the company
We were never meant to be alone
We're messy together but we're not made of stone

EDITED LYRICS
VERSE 1

END OF EDITS
I think this might be my lyric contest entry. If I can finish it. The mood/story/whatever I'm trying to get across is:
A lonely person, feeling abandoned
Realizing it's necessary to reach out to others in order to find companionship/meaning/a life
And it won't always be lovely
It'll sometimes be messy
People are difficult and make everything complicated
But in the end, socializing and developing deep relationships is worth the trouble, inconvenience, and pain
Okay, then, here's what I have so far...you'll see I have choices for words separated by slashes in some places...haven't made final decisions on those yet. Need help. Or some sleep....
What parts sound weak to you (that I should change)? What sounds strong (that I should keep)? I'm pretty sure even what I have for verse 2 needs lots of work, but I'm not objective.
I DON'T MIND IF YOU WALK WITH ME
V1
I'm so tired of being lonely; Pain has brought me to the floor
No one's ever really known me; But I never cared before
Time has stripped away my disguise/mask, And revealed my sentiment/gentleness/tenderness/sympathy/fearfulness
I am weak and/but growing stronger/fast; Blossoming, my genesis/eloquence/selflessness/
CHORUS
I don't mind if you walk with me
I kinda like the company
We were never meant to be alone
We're messy together but we're not made of stone
V2 (first half)
I'm traveling through time and space, leaving my empty past behind
Trying to remember it's not a race, looking for an encouraging sign
need two more lines
kinda stuck
CHORUS AGAIN HERE
MAYBE A BRIDGE OR SOLO?
FINAL CHORUS
