Can’t Seem To Find My Way
THEME: Looking for direction after breaking up.
STYLE: Slow ballad
LYRICS:
A dead-end street, that’s what I’m on,
Wearing a rut in the ground.
It’s clear I’m going nowhere fast
And need to turn myself around.
It’s not the first time and won’t be the last
I’ve had to start over again.
I’m sure I’ll regain my direction,
Just not so sure of how or when.
Sleepless past midnight,
Still up at dawn.
Swear by the first light,
Today’s the day I’m moving on.
Easy to say, but I
Can’t seem to find my way.
No point remaining,
She’s gone for good.
No use in hanging
Around the same old neighborhood.
Don’t mean to stay, but I
Can’t seem to find my way.
Like a leaf blown by the north wind,
More adrift than I imagined.
I’ve never been quite so lost
Before I lost her.
Friends say to get out,
Meet someone new.
Take the first step out
And walk on down the avenue.
Maybe someday, but I
Can’t seem to find my way.

So Much, So Fast, So Soon
THEME: Whoa - this relationship is moving too fast for me!
STYLE: Fast Be-Bop
LYRICS:
What in the world were you thinking
When you said that you love me?
I’m a level-headed guy and I
Try to keep my wits about me,
Even though you’re quite bewitching,
It’s too much, too fast, too soon.
How in the world did we think
We had the same understanding?
I’m a reasonable man and I
Can’t quite tell when you’re so nearby
But it just seems crazy to try
For the sun, the stars, the moon.
Yes, it is true I’m nearly flattened by your kisses.
Clearly I should be resisting these near misses.
I’ll walk away, turn you down, end the play, hold my ground…
Wait—don’t go, come back, resume!
Why in the world was I thinking
That I don’t think I love you?
I’m a well-intentioned male but I
Failed to heed the pleasant warnings
Every goner gets before he
Falls so much, so fast, so soon.

Bad Storm Comin’ In
SUMMARY
So, your lover wants to come back to you after walking out: No Way!
STYLE
Blues
LYRICS
There’s a bad storm coming in,
And now you’re knockin’ at my door.
There’s a bad storm coming in,
And now you’re knockin’ at my door.
Well, you can knock all you want,
But I don’t know you anymore.
When you up and walked away,
The sun was shinin’ big and bright.
When you up and walked away,
The sun was shinin’ big and bright.
Guess you never stopped to think
There’d come a dark and stormy night.
You’ve got a soul like frozen sleet
And a heart made out of ice.
You’ve got a soul like frozen sleet
And a heart made out of ice.
Now you’re left out in the cold
And I’m not even thinkin’ twice.

Any Day Now
SUMMARY
I know I’ll find love someday!
STYLE
Torch song - slow, jazzy pop
LYRICS
Any day now,
Love will find me,
When or where, who can say?
Any day now,
Love will hold fast,
Not go drifting away.
Fate will come to call,
Drop in after all.
And there won’t be any more
Disappointment knocking at my door.
I’ve been waiting
Such a long time
For someone of my own.
Watching lovers
Find each other
While I walk on alone.
Always standing
At the sidelines
Wondering how it would be.
Any day now,
I just know it,
Love will finally find me.
