My first original song. This is a song of many firsts: first song I've ever composed and shared publicly, first lyrics I've ever written and shared publicly, first time I've ever sung and recorded semi-professionally. Hope you guys like it. Constructive feedback welcome!!
Lyrics:
You wanna live everyday like it’s the last,
Being happy even knowing it won’t last,
Zero regrets from the past,
All that without putting on a mask.
They tell you to just be who you are,
That kid with an innocent heart,
One day you can become a star,
But you’re jaded before you start.
What you want isn’t what you need,
What it is isn’t what it seems,
You’re so tired but you can’t sleep,
Since when’d you get in so deep.
You’re a paradox,
Who’s young and lost.
Trying to find what the world is giving,
What it is to be a human being.
You’re a paradox,
But no Pandora’s box.
They say you’re tripping,
But really you’re just living.
You want to be in this world of ours,
But still be able to reach for the stars,
Not so far that no one gets you,
Just enough that they accept you.
What you want isn’t what you need,
What it is isn’t what it seems,
You’re so tired but you can’t sleep,
Since when’d you get in so deep.
You’re a paradox,
Who’s young and lost.
Trying to find what the world is giving,
What it is to be a human being.
You’re a paradox,
But no Pandora’s box.
They say you’re tripping,
But really you’re just living.
Hmm, hmm, hmm, paradox,
Hmm, hmm, hmm, young and lost,
Hmm, hmm, hmm, paradox,
Hmm, hmm, hmm, but no Pandora’s box.
You’re a paradox,
Who’s young and lost.
Trying to find what the world is giving,
What it is to be a human being.
You’re a paradox,
But no Pandora’s box.
