Week 18 - You Got Me

I'm trying to set a record for writing songs whose titles end with the word "me."  I'm on the third consecutive week now, so I'm pretty stoked.

This week is one of those big production numbers - drum loops (I went a little loopy with the loops... you'll see what I mean), bass line, obnoxious many-layered vocals outro - the whole nine yards. To be honest with you, I had a lot of fun working on this one, but I'm not sure the song is actually there. I've been kind of happy lately, romantically speaking, so I'm sort of biding my time at this point, waiting for my boyfriend to piss me off so that I can write a decent song.

Either way, there's some stuff in here to enjoy.  Just know that I'm not submitting this one to any songwriting contests or anything.

lyrics
you can't keep up with this slow boat
push it faster we got a ways to go
if we get wrecked and you're not dead
watch your neck on this shore

don't let'em catch you looking away

i been too long on this tight rope
climbing higher it's not safe anymore
don't you forget i'm in my head
ready set watch me go

don't let me catch you looking away

and you got me but you never trip you never fall
you got me but never once will the wheels come off
you got me but you'd rather have nothing at all

i can't believe in your last show
maybe next time if it don't take too long
don't you forget it's in your head
until it's said you can't be wrong
