Until We Can Fall Asleep
With sweat dropping down from this guitar
These tired strings will play until they break off
That’s when we’ll scream our lungs all our body allows
These calessed fingers will play until arthritis kicks in
All the years we spent working days for our nights
It’s the only way we knew to be, and we can talk change;
We can talk of how things were
But when the music hits with instant reassurance, things will always be the same
Another six am finding yourself alone
‘Cause the party ended hours ago
Questioning in the next couple of years, where you’re going to be
But in this moment, it doesn’t even matter
Raised fists, half pints of our favorite beer
The songs of our youth will guide us through yet another year
And we will, we will sing for in this moment we know what it means to be completely free
And we will, we will sing, the same songs on repeat until we can fall asleep
And we will, we will sing ‘cause sometimes it’s the only thing that keeps us sane
really like this and can relate to it. I too play guitar-acoustic. there are times alone I get it out and I find playing it not only brings me joy of music, but a tranquility you don't get in other ways. It's connecting with the instrument, the music and the moment that you can't quite put into words to explain to another unless you play yourself..Kind of like writing poetry...
