Onward and Upward (Original)

(Music starts at 0:18)

This is a song I've been working on. It's about helping your friends out, even if they don't always listen. Please comment and let me know your thoughts!

LYRICS:

My best friend asked me how to spend the night
Awake by moonshine and candlelight
There's nothing better
There's nothing right
Awake by moonshine and candlelight

I forced a smile
I took a breathe
I closed my eyes
And then I said
There's nothing there for you along that route
There's nothing there
What's all this about

She said I'm looking for a place where I can
Chase down my dreams
Cause this background has gotten worn out
It's black and white now to me
I need to leave

I opened the door of my car and said we'll drive away
And we can be in Timbuktu in just about a day
And we can start a new life and we can understand
So tell me if these thoughts of mine coincide with your plan

She said I've had enough of you up in my hopes and dreams
And I will find my own way on this road now if I please
And there's nothing that you can say to make me change my mind
You might as well leave
Cause I've run out of time

Now she's looking for a place where she can
Chase down her dreams
Cause this background has gotten worn out
It's black and white now to me

And she's looking for a place where she can
Chase down her dreams
Cause this background has gotten worn out
It's black and white now to me
So I need to leave
I need to leave
