numberone

I wrote my first song today. I am excited beyond words. I have written lyrics before and banged around on the guitar before but this is the first time it all came together. Pretty magical.

THE SLEEVE OF HIS JACKET

You caught me with your flair for the comic
And your honesty pulled me right in
Your disposition had me so flustered
That I didn't know how to begin

We swapped our messenger numbers
And we talked on the IBM
I really wasn't sure what was happening
But I hoped that it never would end

And I wish that I wasn't so frightened
And I will try not to be too dramatic
But I hope that you can love some one
Who wears his heart on the sleeve of his jacket

I met you for a beer on a tuesday
At the bar where you meet all your friends
You followed me back to my house baby
And we slept on the couch in the den

I drove you home in the morning
To the door of your grandmothers house
And if I could have kissed your face
I may have known what this night was about

And I wish that I wasn't so frightened
And I will try not to be too dramatic
But I always thought that you could love someone
Who wears his heart on the sleeve of his jacket
