Hi everyone,
This is NOT a good song!😆🤷🏼♂️ I’ve been in a writing slump for a little while now and this is simply me doing “leg day” at the gymn…just getting the songwriting reps in….determined to FINISH the best of the mediocre ideas I’ve had in the last few months….I’ve rolled it in as much glitter as I could find (and with two young daughters I’m lucky I found any!!🤪🤦🏼♂️) and this is what came out….it’s not all bad…I mean I love writing cheesy 80’s style stuff and I do like the song idea itself….why do guys propose in public if they’re not 100% sure she’s gonna say yes???😱🤣🤷🏼♂️ The chorus is not catchy enough to be a good 80’s track though….but I do love a sax solo…🤪…anyway….I can let go of it now and hopefully get back on track.
All feedback welcome! Cheers for listening.

She’s the apple of my iPhone
Got a pocket full of memories made
Never loved someone like this before
Tonight is the night, a surprise I can’t wait
She looks up at the jumbotron
Soon it’s gonna be halftime
And then right in front of everyone
I’m gonna show her how I feel inside
I reach into my pocket as Adele sings
I get down on one knee and see
Chorus.
She’s a deer in the headlights
And I can’t turn this car around
She turns and runs into the crowd
Oh she’s a deer in the headlights
And I wish I could take it back
Save us both from the heart attack.
I’m frozen in the moment
The camera lingers on my face
I hear laughter in the stadium
I cannot breathe I’ve gotta leave this place
I feel like such a fool, cos on the big screen
Becoming a fail meme…I see…
