Here's the redone version, minus allergies:


So I'm watching some Jonas Brothers performances (love them!) and I realized I hadn't put this up yet. Sorry! I got sidetracked (but in a good way, haha).
So I wrote this song about 2 days ago in like, 20-30 minutes. I'd had a dream in which I had written this reallyyy awesome song...but of course when I woke up, I couldn't remember the lyrics.
However, it put me in a songwriting mood, and this is the result.
Sorry if I sound kinda raspy/scratchy--I have horrid allergies right now and my voice is crap, hence why the end of this sounds kinda bad. And why I look so tired. Blahhh.

Basically, the song is about trying to figure out who you are after you've spent so long living through someone else.

Lyrics:
I sang this song in my dreams last night
I wish I could remember the words I was trying to write
But they slipped from my mind
Like I have slipped from yours
It was inevitable, I suppose

I got my records on blast
Searching for the words to describe me
But still in you, I'm always searching for myself
For the girl that wasn't good enough then
But is everything I want to be now

[chorus]
And it's crazy how we wish for past moments
The ones that we were happy to wave goodbye to
And now I sit here watching the time roll by
Wondering what I coulda made outta me
The me I was supposed to be then
The me that is trying to break free now
So I wish for the moments I wished away
And I pray for a day, a simple day of clarity

Make it clear to me
No more false promises
Empty giving or taking
Just throw all the fog away
My pockets hold the memories of you and me
In my head is swimming words I've been trying to scream for years
And if you'd only open your heart to listen
Since your ears are on the brink of silence
You might hear my voice desperate to let you know

[chorus]
That it's crazy how I wish for past moments
The ones I really wish we didn't wave goodbye to
'Cause now I sit here watching you in her arms
Wondering what I coulda made outta you and me

The kids we were supposed to be
Were the odds that much against us?
And I'm desperate to prove to you and me
That I'll make it through all my insecurity
That I'll make it through this uncertainty
That I'll make it to my moment of clarity...

And it's crazy how we wish for past moments
The ones that we so carelessly waved goodbye to
And now I sit here holding this picture in my hand
Wondering who this girl is smiling back at me
'Cause it's crazy how I wish to be me again
Although I still have the same eyes and smile and skin
Does this girl that I've become have a new personality?
I wish someone would make it clear to me
Make it clear to me
Make it clear to me
Give me some clarity now.
