Nostalgia // Songwriting

(for lyrics, click read more)

So recently, I have entered the huge world of song writing. Well actually, I tried songwriting when I was in grade school but I was not really into it that time. Then, it all came back to life when I was playing my guitar one time, recording, and tried to sing the words that first came out from my heart. Then that became the beginning stage of writing this song. It was just me playing and randomly singing.

After recording, I listened to it tons of times and had to change and add some lyrics to add impact and unity.  After a few days of brainstorming and singing my heart out, it actually ended to this, my first original song... Nostalgia. 

Lyrics:

I.

So close, yet so far away

You're here but I still feel out of place

Right next to you is where I always want to be

How did we end up low when we're once extreme?

I remember not minding time when I'm with you,

I was your sunshine, and you're my blue

But I'm not lonely neither I'm miserable

I just can't shake this feeling 'cause I never got the chance to say...

Chorus:

That I mi-i-ss...

Yes, I mi-i-ss...

I miss the old days

It's just you and me, and all the strings attached

And I mi-i-ss...

II.

You baby, you're still the missing piece of me

And now that you moved out, I have to be complete

But I don't have regrets at all,

Though until now, you're still my sweetest downfall

Chorus:

And I mi-i-ss...

Yes, I mi-i-ss...

I miss the old days

It's just you and me, and all the strings attached

And I mi-i-ss...

Bridge:

Isn't it for the best?

Isn't it for the both of us?

Then why do I feel this way?

Isn't it what we've always wanted?

Hasn't it been years from now?

But why does it feel like yesterday?

And I mi-i-ss...

Yes, I mi-i-ss...

I still mi-i-ss...

I still mi-i-ss...

You baby, you're still the missing piece of me

-end-

Thanks for listening!
