Nick Solish - Upset

This is a new song I wrote recently. I'd been tinkering around with it for awhile but I like the way it came out. Here are the lyrics:

VERSE
Upset, that's where you want me to be
Spinning all these records in my sleep
Passing through doorways with hinges that always stick and tend to squeak

Take me out into the roller rink
We'll go round in circles which should give us time to think
And I don't know what it would take to bring me over the brink

PRE-CHORUS
But I can't help the way I feel and this whole thing has become quite real and
I can't help the way I act and sometimes things just get out of whack but

CHORUS 1
I don't know how to say goodbye, no, no, no, no
I wonder, why I even try, no, no, no, no X2

VERSE
Close by, I know you're laying awake
The fan whirls, you watch the moves that it makes
Dreaming of exits that might just have taken us less phone calls to make

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS 2 (do two sets of 4 measures)
I dream your name,
its always the same,
and I don't know where this leaves us
but I hope that one day it all can change

Staying up late,
out on a date,
Wondering why things are broken and
hoping that they won't get stuck this way

CHORUS 1

Totally thrilled this popped up in the relateds for one of my videos, because this song is pretty sweet man! I really love the lyrics. They're really natural and they're not forced, like alot of lyrics seem to be nowadays. Reminds me of older alkaline trio stuff, like Radio, but it sounds fresh. I'ma go watch all your other videos!

Hey, thanks for the compliments. I actually was a huge fan of Alkaline Trio's Goddamnit album and specifically the song Radio, so that's funny that you picked up on that. They are amazing songwriters and used to fuel a lot of my inspiration early on. I've written a lot of songs on here and I just wrote one for my girlfriend, so check that out if you get the chance. Thanks for subscribing.

Kinda reminded me of Alkaline Trio at some parts. Very nice song man :)

I used to love Alkaline Trio. Goddamnit was one of the best records ever.

Glad you liked the song. Interpol are cool.  I saw them perform at the Fillmore in San Francisco a few years ago. They rock. Thanks for checking out my stuff!
