Steemit OpenMic Week 97 - @paintingangels - NEW original song - "Swim"
Hey! I wrote a new song. This is my third new song this year, I'm on FIRE. (Or at the very least just trying not to drown)
If you listened to Meno's Songwriter Shop Talk last week you might have heard the other new song I wrote, which is currently still named "Untitled." I was going to record a video for that one but I'm kind of disenchanted with the song already. So, anyway.. I just up and wrote a new one. How about that?
You've heard people say it's time to sink or swim, yes? I figured now is just about as good a time as any to write a song about that.
Keep your chin up, kiddos. Like they say, it's the only way to see the stars,

p.s. I apologize for my blah attitude in the intro, it even seems kind of like I'm mocking the title of the song.. I was just frustrated.. lol. It's just that I had recorded this attempt several times before and kept screwing it up so really I just assumed that this would be a fail, too. But I am in a hurry gotta keep it!
Swim
Do you believe in love
like I believe in love?
Do you believe in me
like I believe in you?
Do you believe we'll swim
beyond this deep sea floor
or baby will we fall through
and sink down into the blue?
Sink down into the blue
Do you believe that time
can make our heartbeats rhyme?
Can we dance like stars?
Can we heal these scars?
Can we dance like stars?
How many times have I really had to ask?
I'm growing so tired of never knowing that.
We're like a broken shell
Baby, we've been through hell
We could be bullet proof
but I just don't know if you..
If you believe in love
like I believe in love
Do you believe in me
like I believe in you?
Do you believe in me?
