Possible Song Lyrics

So... as a writer and an okay singer,
I've been thinking about writing songs this whole year.
I'm not sure if I'd write for myself
or write songs and give them to other singers I know.
But in any case,
I'd like to run a few random lines by you guys
that I've been saving up all year.
Some lines I've grouped in my mind as belonging to the same song,
others are just floaters.
Very beginning level right now.

Anyway,
without further adieu, here you go.

We have to stop doing this. And by we, I mean something very subjective, something vague.

Miscommunication is never fun... unless someone gets hurts.

People who think they're insightful are assholes. So I guess I'm an asshole.

They shouldn't know how we creep, see their every move; because then they'll study our doings, and we don't need that.

When u ignore someone, sooner or later they start to ignore you.

Give me a sandwich, and I, sir, will be one satisfied woken up drunk person.

I'm just sayin though, like yo... why are we even here right now?

You wanna say no, but you wanna say yes. So instead you say nothing at all.

When I start thinking, it's about you. Wishing that you knew, but you ain't got a clue.

I’m a liar. I have all the answers.

I choke on words I'm not sure I want to say.

And then we play music, cause we don't know how to say it. Let's leave it to the professionals

I stay up til 4am not to work. No. I stay up to think, because otherwise I'd just go crazy.

We have daylight conversations in the dark and midnight talks during sunny afternoons.

I would be nowhere without my friends, and my friends get me nowhere.

My friend told me to get my life together. My life is together... it just has a lot of cracks in it.

Been single so long, I'm desperate to try something new. We're after the same goal, so I'll just partner with you.


As you see, they all need some work.
Some are awkwardly worded and don't flow.
Hopefully I can get started on one next week when I have more time
[on top of the other projects I have lined up.]
Let me know what you think.
I'm also open to suggestions and collaborations.
Word.

PS
In case you couldn't tell,
I'm leaning more towards alternative/folk music.
R&B songwriting is kinda all the same to me,
the usual "in the club" "girl I want you" "why you cheating" "let's get down" music.
I feel like it's constricting.
I might switch it up though.
It's yet to be decided.
