Paint Me A Picture, acrylic (Original Song)

***WHICH D'YOU LIKE BEST??***
I've done 2 different versions of this song because I can't decide between them.
***I'd love it if you all could let me know which you prefer cuz I can't make me tiny mind up***
The lyrics remain the same, only the T-shirt and tempo have been changed;
As the kinks in your armour slowly fade away,
they remind me of the things I can't say.
And the speech I'm preparing don't seem to work so I end up repeating the silence.
And all the things I never should have said,
seem to echo in your eyes.

And I'm not sure of where we stand, so paint me a picture,
of how you see it all.

The sea's at your feet the world in your hands, the wind blows the fire, I need shelter,
Let me sleep in the blanket of your arms, lie down beside me don't talk,

cuz not all the things you're saying am I hearing,
still the echo is bouncing off the walls.

And I'm not sure, of where we stand ,so paint me a picture,
of how you see it all.

Of you I want some more, of you I want some more.

The leaves that have fallen don't seem to blow away,
like all the things you're thinking you don't say,
still I find shelter in the storm of what we've become,
turn round to face me, embrace me,

cuz I don't wanna fight anymore,
I place my picture on your wall.

And I'm not sure of where we stand, so paint me a picture,
of how you see it all.

Think i prefer this version mate, again your songwriting is top notch mate, cracking lyrics!!

[stonebuystone]

Any comment with both top notch and cracking is always gonna make my day, cheers!

I like the way that the confidence and aggression of this performance counters the lyric. Perhaps with your melodic arpeggios under the line about fighting as a bridge type bit? And maybe as an intro. Nice song m8. Interesting to see two totally different deliveries! ;)
