On mute today.

verse, chorus, verse, chorus variation, bridge, chorus

[verse 1]
I think I'm on mute today
No one hears what I say
Slipping, falling in a crowd
No one sees that I am down

[chorus]
I want someone that can see
I want a girl that feels like me
I guess I'll be her guy
I hope I'll get never say goodbye

[verse 2]
When no one sees you, you fade away
When no one beleives you, you lose your way
Maybe today I'm on mute
Or maybe I just feel this gray

No reason
This time
You don't need one
That's fine

Whatever happens I know I'll be fine
It'll go away in time
I hope I can forget
Pass this over, nevermind

[chorus variation]
I want someone that can hear
I want a girl that can be sincere
I guess I'll be her guy
I hope I'll get never say goodbye

[bridge]
Every note I play
Every chord that resonates
It's all waiting for when
I can finally be content

[chorus]
I want someone that can see
I want a girl that feels like me
I guess I'll be her guy
I hope I'll get never say goodbye



Yeah maybe this is a bit cliche, but whatever, I started writing and this is what I got; so this is what I got to work with :-P

i love this, i really like the "im on mute today" line thats insoired me  lol but i wont post the lyrics because this is your idea. but man oh man i love this. although i would have gone a diffrent way with the im on mute today line but thats just the way it inspired me. i would have gotten political, where as you went the love direction. but your lyrics are wonderfull i see a HUGE inprovment, not that you were bad to begin with, but this has structure and it its finished! lol but the best part is tha tit inspired me  ^w^ keep it up kid you hit the spot!

Yay I created inspiration lol

yes yes you did, feel the proudness

yes, the whole bit about being on mute
carries some of the cliche and it all
has a very nice rythm...

A nice song, a little bit sad a little bit lonely and a little bit 'shit I wish I had a girlfriend', it is what it is kind of thing that makes it true.
I hear some semi sad, super cool guitar plucking going on!

@kings: Here is a quick and dirty preview of my guitar strumming for this song

I don't have a vocal mic yet guys, sorry...thats throughmy guitar pickup

Hey zach I hit the link and sung along, I got the feeling that the guitar should be slower, even 'exaggerated' slower, you know like 'muted' just 'not into it' kind of strumming.

Got into it enough to appreciate it though! Nice song!

Yeah i was just throwing it up and its a passive pickup (another way to say: a pickup that blows without a acoustic amp or micing). But I'll take the exageration bit to heart next time I play it :-p

Thanks:-d
