Liner Notes

Evidently today is international Play Your Ukulele Day. So that explains that.

This one started with a personal challenge to write a song with a refrain in AABA form. As I tried humming a melody over the progression, the phrase “with you” kept getting stuck in my head. “Not surprising,” I thought, “I always get stuck on an ending with “you”.” And there you have it.

This one might benefit from an instrumental break after the B section.

Lyrics

I put on your shirt today
Took it from beneath my bed
Just so I could smell the smell of you
I’m stuck, stuck on an ending with you

I know there’s a part of me
Who remembers who I was before
Before you left me, you left me bruised
I’m stuck, stuck on an ending with you

I wish that I could move on,
That I would heal, and I could be strong

I put on your shirt today
Like the thousand times before
And dreamed of the ending I should have had with you
I’m stuck, stuck on an ending with you
Stuck, stuck on an ending with you
I’m stuck, stuck on an ending with you

Such a sweetly sad sentiment, I love the inspiration behind this! Melancholic but hopeful.
