The word "basically" in lyrics is such a pet peeve of mine.
But Sky Ferreria's Everything's Embarassing?
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother
Telling me that basically you're not looking out for me
Everything is true to me, never words where you would see
Maybe if you let me be your lover
Maybe if you tried then I would not bother
You're the light, you're the night
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much
You're the fear, I don't care
Cause I've never been so high
Follow me to the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life
QUEEN Tove Lo.
Wait
I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head's spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?
Lemme listen to QoTC this week for inspiration. I need to get back to my pop roots. And mess at maintenance still not here. Might as well be productive and do laundry then
Irreplaceable (ignore the numbers, they're syllable counts)
Irreplaceable
Verse
The stars aligned us centuries ago (10)
But you left in a summer haze (8)
The world around us lost its glow (10)
And the rain poured for days and days (8)
My eyes burned from the oceans of salt (9)
I watched them fall to the ground like towers on fire (11)
We knew the chaos was all your fault (9)
Why couldn’t you stay and build us higher? (10)
All you saw was the light across the lake (10)
We built our sun to hold us together (10)
You chose the cross and it turned to a snake (10)
The tears you cried were light as a feather (10)
Chorus
Our piece of you isn’t erasable (10)
We’re irreplaceable (6)
Mapping you is untraceable (8)
You’re irreplaceable (6)
In love with your choruses. Sounds like the chorus of a smash hit indie song.
Irreplaceable
