Skyscraper

(Karianne Gabaldon)

It’s very clear that these lyrics are just another heartbreak; someone wanting the other person back that they just cannot have.

(Verse 1) 
 
Our love you bestowed away, 
Counting hours, counting days, 
Hoping I’ll see you today. 
But you never come back, 
Oh when will you come back? 
 
The fault is not only yours and mine, 
Fact, the fault is grandfather time. 
I wait for you at the finish line. 
But you never come back, 
Oh, you’ll never come back. 
 
Your heart had a clutch, 
That I just couldn’t touch. 
But I was still good enough. 
 
Then you crossed over, 
Like a game of Red Rover. 
I guess it’s really over. 
 
(PreChorus) 
 
These other guys they have no clue, 
Just how much I try to resist you. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Exploring every part of, 
Your skyscraper, 
Can’t quite get off, 
This airplane of paper. 
 
My teardrops filled a pool of wonder, 
I dove down under, 
I can’t seem to understand, 
Why my hand, 
Is left but yours is right. 
I’ll stay up all night, 
Finding out to get back in your, 
Skyscraper. 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
It’s the same always, 
You ask about my days. 
I pretend to be over you. 
 
But, hey, don’t you dare, 
Don’t give me a scare. 
Because I don’t want you over me too. 
 
(PreChorus)

Weiter Reden

By Jones Lyrics

Kann sehr gut für deutschen R&B gemischt mit Rap verwendet werden. Dabei graue Hood-Thematik um mal von den seichten Liebesliedern wegzukommen ;) Für jemanden der sich da reindenken kann, gibt der Text top Potential für einen einschlagenden Track!

The Judge

By Brian Hendrix

Another western song I wrote. Typically I write about outlaws and the suchlike, but this one's about a bounty hunter nicknamed "The Judge." I was going to write a very, very long song, about seven verses or so, explaining his real name, where he grew up, etc. Though I think I'd like to make a series of songs about The Judge. We'll see how it goes. This one's very catchy.

Sandkastenliebe

By Nadine Schulze

Der Titel verrät es bereits - es geht um den ersten Schwarm aus frühester Kindheit. Der Mensch, mit dem man im Kindergarten, in der Schule oder an den Nachmittagen so viel Zeit verbrachte. Der erste Mensch, bei dem das Herz schneller schlug. Vom Schicksal plötzlich getrennt und nie wieder gesehen - da bleiben nur die Gedanken daran.
