This is a bit of a song idea from March of 2021 “New Basketball Hoop” (because Brian was thinking about replacing his kids’ basketball hoop which did happen in the spring). It’s another quick recording to capture a possible melody. Possible lyrics below. This will probably become something very different or fit into something else that Brian is working on. Who knows? Brian does not want me to share this. Too bad. Here it is.
Lyric ideas:
I don’t want tomorrow to come to me today
I don’t want yesterday to haunt the rest of my days
I can’t live tomorrow if I want to live today.
I can’t live today, if I’m stuck on yesterday.
I can’t fix tomorrow if I don’t fix today.
I can’t fix tomorrow if I’m stuck living yesterday.
I can’t live forever, so I will live for today.
I can’t stop the terror, and I can’t stop the dread.
I can’t interrupt this fatal error in my head.
