Songs You Never Hear

 Lyrics

I was in third grade some lazy afternoon

Singin' my heart on the backyard swing set

Makin' melody from the things that I'd find

Frightening inventions in an 8-year-old mind

My dad was mixing mortar and I guess as a joke

He sprayed me from afar with the garden hose

I might have ran off scared, but I should've been proud

Only summer cicadas can sing that loud

And it's alright

I still love it

I can sing through fear

And in spite of it (ah-ah-ah)

These'll be the songs (the songs)

I sing to persevere (the songs)

These'll be the songs you never hear

Ten years later and I thought it'd be tight

To go on play at my first open mic night

My hands were shaking, messed up my chords and lines

My voice started trembling and then I cried

The audience clapped at the end 

And nice though they were 

But I think it was pity for the freshman girl

So I worked on my craft and from then on I moved

And I didn't go back 'cause I had nothing to prove

And it's alright

I still love it

I can sing through the tears

And in spite of it (ah-ah-ah)

These'll be the songs (the songs)

I sing to persevere (the songs)

Yeah these'll be the songs you never hear

I keep writing and thinking and playing and singing

Even if the reason why is still not clear

I keep writing and thinking and playing and singing

Even if these are the songs (the songs)

If these are the songs (the songs)

Even if these are the songs you never hear

Ten years later, having lunch with a friend

And he asked me what I do in all that time I spend

I said, "Still working on my album whenever I can"

He said, how come I can't hear, I'm your "biggest fan"

I said, It's interesting how you say that now

I post my new songs on the Cloud of Sound

He looked embarrassed because I knew that he lied

He could have heard me if he only tried

I said alright

That doesn't rock me

You don't want to listen?

But that won't stop me (ah-ah-ah)

And so these are the songs (the songs)

I sing to persevere (the songs)

And so these are the songs you never hear!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep writing and thinking and playing and singing

Even if the reason why is still not clear

I keep writing and thinking and playing and singing

Even if these are the songs (the songs)

If these are the songs (the songs)

Even if these are the songs you never hear

A few notes:

This is my flagship song! It explains how ever since I was little, I have been singing and making up songs and it didn't matter if no one liked them because I DID.

So this is me just being like, hey, I make songs. If you like them, cool. If you don't, these are the songs you never hear, which is why I think naming the album that is kind of brilliant. Because whether or not people listen to them, they are the Songs You Never Hear!

:D:D:D

All the verses are true stories. 

I wonder if dad remembers spraying me with the hose.

The open mic night thing was really embarrassing. 

And if you want to hear my music up close and personal, I am now on Spotify!

It's a meee
