Where Did I Go

Skirmish: WHERE DID I GO? (@corinnecurcio)

Liner Notes

#acoustic #pop
I did not try to go far with this prompt, writing a song simple and short enough that I could remember it without writing anything down.

Lyrics

Before you ask
You already know
You paid for a ticket
But never went to the show

The answer you seek
Is in the question you asked
I went off toward the future
You stayed behind in the past

Where did I go
It was just what I said
When you turned away
And you left me on read

I had big dreams
But this was bigger yet
All those years of struggle
I had to forget

It went by in a blur
I’m not saying I mind
And I could never guess
Why you stayed behind

Where did I go
It was just what I said
When you turned away
And you left me on read

Where did I go
It was just what I said
When you turned away
And you left me on read

Good ideas and lyrics.

The line that particular strikes me is:
I went off toward the future
You stayed behind in the past

The gentle melancholy feel of the music works well with the lyric. I really like the melody.

Seems like plenty to remember and you did a fine job. This is a catchy tune. The chorus is very strong. Could be a great rocker.
