This is my online musical diary. I have been learning how to play the guitar and how to write songs. This is a place for me to keep track of all of that :)
When I played this song, I came up with some "bops" that I wanted to use as a melody. I tried to think of what it reminded me of, and all I could think of was running through a field. I tried to see if I had a memory where I was wildly running somewhere, not just running for exercise. The only memory that came to me was a time when I was locked out.
I was dropped off at my house after swimming with friends. I only had on a wet swimsuit, and for whatever reason I didn't have a towel or clothing. I soon realized that no one was home and that all of the ways I usually got in were locked up. I sat in the backyard in a hammock for a while, trying to wrap the crocheted hammock around me to keep warm. It felt like I was waiting there for at least an hour, so I thought maybe my parents were at our church building, which was a couple of miles away. Barefoot, I decided to run to see if they were there. When I arrived, the parking lot was empty, so I turned around and ran home. By the time I got home, my parents were back and I was happy to be home. I remember my mom telling me my hair dried pretty - I was so mad! Haha... I decided to end the song with a grateful heart. I was able to get warm and was safe at home.
Here are the chords and lyrics!
*Aminor --- G ---- Dminor7 ---- Fmajor7*
Nobody home so I guess I’ll be alone
Waiting outside, just hoping the door will open for me
I know there’s no point in this, there’s no one coming soon
Cold, shivering, wet, just holding onto hope.
*Aminor - Dminor7 - em - Fmajor 7*
What am I running from you ask?
Running from loneliness
There was no peace in sitting by
My heart can’t handle it
Maybe this leads to a point, and someone’s coming soon
<<bridge>> Aminor C Eminor G
I’ll keep moving, I know it’ll all work out…
---------------------------------------------repeat without singing
*Aminor --- G ---- Dminor7 ---- Fmajor7*
Sun kissed my skin and dried up all of my tears
Found myself home and now all my fears have disappeared
