D.T.F.

Lyrics

She gave the green light
when she flashed that smile
Oh it should have been a flashing yellow caution sign
But I didn't see the red flags
'til it was all said and done
Cause I only had eyes on the
checkered one
Tonight you're on my mind
I'll be alright it just takes time

Too hot to handle
and she's cold as ice
But a man could find himself drowning in those eyes
Now it'd take the power of an atom bomb
to pull me away
But either way the fallouts gonna be the same
Tonight you're on my mind
I'll be alright it just takes time

But time is running out tonight
and only you can save me
But your love is out of sight and I'm alone
And maybe you were right
but you can't change me
Don't touch fire you won't get burned
But I never learn

Tonight you're still on my mind
I'll be alright it just takes time

But time is running out tonight
and only you can save me
But your love is out of sight and I'm alone
And maybe you were right
but you can't change me
Don't touch fire you won't get burned
But I never learn

So if you're down to fight tonight
If you're down oh to fight tonight
If you're down for a fight give me a call

Man, this is a cool song! The lyrics really speak to me and I love your vocal delivery, especially on the refrain! I will be singing the chorus all day now, really catchy!

I love the urgency of the guitar - it really supports the desperation in the lyrics! I also thought it was cool that you used the tag line from the first two verse as a kind of bridge. The different tag line in the last two verses is evocative too! Nice work.

I love the way you use metaphor to convey what you mean without getting explicit, artfully done! The driving metaphors in particular were perfect. I also really liked the guitar solo outro to the song, solid finish!

@billwhite51 3w

the guitar rhythms are addictive and i love the way you sing across those changes

@downfallroad 3w

I really like the energy that comes from the change from verse to the chorus. Recording sounds great!

@whispermouse 3w

Sounding good! I like this lyric a lot, nice job holding the titular line to the end.

@andyt13 3w

Right on!

well written lyrics. I like the guitar solo, and the guitar sounds good in general. I like your voice. Great song. One of my favorite songs I've heard this year so far. Congrats on your first song, a great one. That ending solo is fantastic.
