Could've Been Us

(Jenny Yu)

This song is intended to be a sad love song about a missed love. The perspective of the story goes like this: Two people have feelings for one another but one of them wasn't ready to commit to a serious relationship. So the other one was stuck in the friend zone during all this time and constantly wonders what they could've been if they had gotten to be together.

〜VERSE 1〜 From the start, I knew that you didn’t want a relationship But as the feelings grew I couldn’t help fantasizing it Everyone around seemed to have somebody to call their own All I want right now is someone to make me feel whole 〜PRE-CHORUS〜 Staying in this friendzone just isn’t enough Can’t you see it could’ve been us 〜CHORUS〜 It could’ve been us It could’ve been us We could’ve been together these past nine months We could’ve been so much, so much Yeah we could’ve fallen in love It could’ve been us 〜VERSE 2〜 From across the room my eyes always found their way to yours Being next to you We were pulled closer by some invisible force But who would’ve known that this was all we could ever be If time was ours to control maybe things would’ve worked out differently 〜PRE-CHORUS〜 Staying in this friendzone just isn’t enough Don’t you wish it could’ve been us 〜CHORUS〜 It could’ve been us It could’ve been us We could’ve been together these past nine months We could’ve been so much, so much Yeah we could’ve fallen in love It could’ve been us 〜BRIDGE〜 They make it look so easy in every movie The couples around me all seem so happy I watch them with longing and envy as they’re holding hands and kissing He’s her man and she’s his missing piece That would’ve been us But you were afraid to fall in love That would’ve been us But you ran and left me completely crushed 〜CHORUS〜 It could’ve been us It could’ve been us We could’ve been together these past nine months We could’ve been so much, so much Yeah we could’ve fallen in love It could’ve been us Don’t regret it Cause we could’ve had it all Don’t forget that It was you who let go of it all I should've known that it wasn't meant to be But I held onto the hope cause I wanted you and me 〜OUTRO〜 It could've been us It could've been us Yeah we could've fallen in love

A Little Bit Of Fun

By Jenny Yu

This song is intended to be a very upbeat, night club type of song that everyone can dance to. It's about two people who have feelings for one another but under their circumstances, they can't exactly be together, at least not in the open. And so this song talks about how if they could just let go for a little bit, they could have the time of their lives with one another and just be carefree and in love.

After you were gone

By Howard Aronson

This is a lyric about my grandfather, who is my best friend growing up. He was a self-made man, who had his own business as an electrician, and took me out to help him and taught me so many different lessons. If only I remembered those lessons and I didn't realize a lot of things that he taught me until after he was gone. I think if he could see me now he'd be very proud but there were times when he was alive that I was using and couldn't understand it and I'm sure after he was gone and he looked down at me and saw me abusing my life that he was saddened and could not explain why a fine young man who had all the abilities in the world to do anything he wanted, would throw away his life like that. I really miss my grandfather today, and I really reach back and try to take away things that he taught me and put them to use in my life today

Leave Her Alone

By Jones Lyrics

Topic(s): If we hold on to something too tight, it won't stay. Atmosphere: pop character, catchy chorus, singer/songwriter, charty, extraordinary verse melody, can be a stop & go style, can be melodically fluent Genre/Style I was thinking of: Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Indi-Electronic, Indi-Pop, Synth-Pop Artist(s) I was thinking of: Imagine Dragons, The Weeknd, dvsn, Awolnation, Milky Chance, Passanger, RacknBone, Topic (ft. A7S), Phil Might Leave,... Comments: typical pop-structure & easy to sing along with in the chorus. In the verses I thought of a lot of breaks (e.g. "How many"...break... "Times"; A bit like in the song "Believer" - Imagine Dragons). I might work with it myself, so cant give you exclusive licence on that one.
