(Hey everyone!  I was busy recording in a small studio within the past few days and haven't gotten to be on as much! I recorded some songs, and this is one of them that many said touched them deeply that took a lot out of me writing!)Bit Off More Than I Could Chew By: Noah Eaton 6/15/03 Verse 1: Step downstairs and there you are Aiming at a dartboard you can't seem to par Noticed you stopping in the middle of a game of cribbage Your eyes wander in carom but seem to go no distance Conversation is gapped, we're both in blank draw Summer dusk's still bright, but it feels like the winter dawn And I couldn't promise you anything no more When I'm never finished sweeping this floor... (small guitar solo) Verse 2: And there's some premonition running through my head When you didn't know where you're going, you meant what you said Those horoscopes you left in your bureau Stories left untold, your thespian society chapeau Vampires gnashing at your jugular vein Ones you can't run your stake through but you know all their names I knew this same feeling would rewind at last I should watch my step, there's all this broken glass... Chorus: And I bite off more than I could chew I bite off more than I could chew I feel the knots coming loose I feel the knots coming loose And I bite off more than I could chew I bite off more than I could chew It's been so long, where did you go? What happened, why should I know... (small guitar solo) Verse 3: You never doubted where you were going to So why is it they put the straight jacket on you? And there's a fear running through my mind If you're going to treat the impulse unkind When you brush your teeth with those benzodiazepines Chug down the fluoxetines and still your weight is gaining You say this life can't be the one for me But then again, it might just be... Chorus: And I bite off more than I could chew I bite off more than I could chew I feel the knots coming loose I feel the knots coming loose And I bite off more than I could chew I bite off more than I could chew It's been so long, where did you go? What happened, why should I know... Bridge: And there is nothing I can do for you... (small guitar solo) So this is where I leave you... (small guitar solo) Verse 4: You left it all behind too long ago Cross my fingers that it'll show I know now there's nothing of me you can't remember You don't even realize when it becomes December And I lay the anchor down to leave you at bay Cause it's too dangerous to even attempt to feel sane Just talking about that is a whole different song altogether A whole different tuning, played one time shorter... Chorus: And I bite off more than I could chew I bite off more than I could chew I feel the knots coming loose I feel the knots coming loose And I bite off more than I could chew I bite off more than I could chew It's been so long, where did you go? What happened, why should I know... Why should I know... Why should I know... Why should I know... Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story ***Shakira*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (06-16-2003 09:32 PM).] |

Noah, I would also like to hear the music you have written with the song and to hear you singing it. This is really great, Noah. I'm glad that you've been doing something that you love so much. Hugs  Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (06-16-2003 10:31 PM).] |
