Quick go at some lyrics before hittin the sack - its late in London!:

I've waited all my life for this feelin
I wanna be sure that I, I'm not dreamin now (Couldn't get much better)
I've waited tables & bars to make ends meet
I stayed at Heartbreak Hotel on Dead End Street, yeah, oh oh...

Ch
Some day, one day, today
Some day, one day, today
I finally figured it out
What life and I'm all about...

The verse has VERY good word play! I must say I AM curious to hear how it all sounds together verse/chorus.

Hi...I just put up a very rough demo of what I wrote to "Waited"...It's called "Sunlight"...I have the first verse, the chorus and a bridge section towards the end (I have the last line of that blank still...not sure of where I want to go with it and looking for suggestions!). Let me know what you guys all think so far!
1st first sketch...melody very similar to jacks. let me know what ya'll think...

(line)

Adam this is cool. (even though the Vox are only in the left speaker) But I like how you went in a different direction with it. It helps to follow along when you post lyrics though. Very good start though!!

Myles man, GREAT use of Imagery! I can see a scene painted with your words...Now where would you take it from here?? Are we talkin' about a "Slow Down" Bobby V. type of song?? Let's get imaginitive! Keep it going! Very good submission, don't stop!

Thanks for the feedback, Syllabus...I will definitely revise the mix, have the vocals EQ'd and make it listenable from both speakers next time...lol

Here are the lyrics:

(Verse 1)
My mind is racing so fast
My heart cant keep up.
It's almost 4 in the morning,
The night just creeps up, oh.
My eyes keep closing, exhausted.
I had a plan but I lost it.

Every time and again,
I tried to talk to her.
I keep on losing my cool
By the time I walk to her.
At this rate I'm going,
I will never live out the fantasy
I've got deep in my mind.

(Chorus)
Sunlight.
I'll just wait for sunlight.
Maybe I'll feel better.
Then I'll be able to focus
On how to make you notice me.
Wait for sunlight.
I'll just wait for sunlight.
'til then I'll be dreamin'
'bout how to make you my lady,
And make you call me your baby.

(Bridge)
Now I know,
That one day, we'll be together.
Fate is in my hands.
I'll wait for you patiently.
