So LOL I'm supposed to be working on my Platinum Hit finale, but an idea for a song came to me that just wouldn't work for the way I'm approaching this challenge. Usually, I refrain from writing anything so I could potentially use it for a later round in PH, but...since this is the last round, I figured I should roll with any idea that comes to me.
This one is very...Troye Sivan, imo. Even though I didn't bluntly state it in the song, it's about 2 guys who can't be with each other because of a a fear of God and their parents reactions, and the person we're in the perspective of in this song has led themselves into believing that he and this person were never meant to be even though low-key they were.
Thatll Never Be Us[Verse 1]
I’d like to stay the night
Watching films to pass the time
Staying up til dawn arrives
I’d like to be with you
Crashing in your living room
Waking up that afternoon
[Chorus]
But that’ll never be us
It’s not written in our stars
We can try out for the role
But we’ll never play the part
It’ll never be us
We were never meant to be
We can run away from here
But not from our destinies
[Verse 2]
I’d like to own a place
Have a yard with lots of space
Where our kids could run and play
I’d like to be with you
Share a bed like lovers do
But I know it won’t come true
[Chorus]
Cause that’ll never be us
It’s not written in our stars
We can try out for the role
But we’ll never play the part
It’ll never be us
We were never meant to be
We can run away from here
But not from our destinies
[Bridge]
That’ll never be us
Our love was flawed in its design
We would never be divine
That’ll never be us
We were meant for different lives
And it’s time we realized
[Chorus]
That’ll never be us
It’s not written in our stars
We can try out for the role
But we’ll never play the part
That’ll never be us
We were never meant to be
We can run away from here
But not from our destinies
[Outro]
I’d like to stay the night
Watching films to pass the time
Staying up til dawn arrives
But that’ll never be us...
9xPlatinum Hit is coming to a close, but most of us have no competitive outlet to express our writing. I want to help fix that with a super lowkey, laid back monthly competition when PH is out of season. Here's how this is gonna go:
