Liner Notes

“What You Didn’t Say” - #fawm 50/90 2024 song 49

I am almost done completing all my lyric drafts from last year — and now I have four new lyric drafts from this year I’m hoping to get to before October 2nd, as well.

Today’s song is so much more satisfying now that I’ve set it to chords and a melody. I quite like what emerged!

3 lyric drafts left to finish from 2023…

Lyrics

Got stuck in your conversation pit
Time drags, your story’s thick with it
I’m waiting on your weapons-draw
My kingdom for a denouement

Keep your fork, baby, there’s pie
It might get served if you let things lie
Fell in-between your lines, headfirst,
I’m reading into pause with thirst
But something’s getting in the way
I’m here for what you didn’t say (what you didn’t say)

Hope you serve dessert, I’m caged
In some, off-putting, dry tirade
I fear your point is dulling now
Things might get sweet if you get less sour

CHORUS

I’m gonna
Blink a bit
I’m gonna
Nod at it
I’m gonna wait for
The rest of the sentence
I know you are taking attendance

CHORUS
