Introduction

[Marina]

I'm working on a concept album that follows the lives of a couple who fall in love and then fall out of it. Cliche theme, but I think it can come out impressive in spite of that.

This song is the first time they meet. It will have one more stanza once I figure out how to segue into the next tracks storyline.




"Where are you walking to?"
You asked me in the rain
I did not answer you
but you walked with me just the same
to my apartment where you followed me inside
and we sat silently just drinking down the wine

Is this desperation
I see painted on your smile?
I carefully hold you
as if not to wake a child
I won't be surprised if I'm alone when I awake
Because time is a janitor that cleans up these mistakes
So when morning comes we'll move on with our lives
Forgetting all the love that we shared here tonight

How long does it take to shake these feelings?
And how long will you take?

I don't know what the 'how long will you take' means. It made sense to me up until that line. I thought it was about you...

 

[Robyn babey...x]

How long will you take to see that you like me... I guess

BTW: What kind of music style are you writing it for?

 

[sk8er girl]

I really like this, I have a few that I have written that deal with both those topics.

"How long will you take?" is just a vague way of asking how long she will take in deciding to leave/stay. The whole tone of the song is supposed to relate to the feeling of insecurity on the first night with someone. Maybe that will be more clear when I finally add another stanza.

I'm writing it as an acoustic album. Imagine The National mixed with Pedro the Lion.

Thanks for all the crits, homies.
