NoOneUnderstandsMeTheWayYouDo by ~efa91:iconefa91:



Sometimes life takes its toll on us
It runs us ‘til we’re ragged
And all we need is that escape
A day of rest, a sweet release,
A reprieve
And for that, baby, oh, I’ve got you
If I ever said that I could get on without you
Then I’d be the biggest liar in the world
I wouldn’t be who I am today if I didn’t have you

CHORUS:
So much stress in this busy, mixed up life
And when I feel like giving in, slumbering on the job, sleeping all day
Just to cast aside the anxiety
You approach me in silence and brush it all away
With a hand on my shoulder, a kiss on the cheek
A, “Baby, you can do this.”
Your love sings in every step I take, every word I speak
Oh, baby, no one understands me the way you do


BRIDGE:
The years have come and gone
They’ll continue to fly
Honey, there’ll be times when we smile
And times when we cry
But we’ll take it all in our stride
Just as we always do
Oh, I’d be lost without your guidance
And the bliss your presence offers
Oh, Crystal, love, you make my knees weak with just one beam

[Chorus 2x]

Honey, there’s so much to fret over in this busy, mixed up life
And when I feel like giving in, slumbering on the job, sleeping all day
Just to cast aside the worries
Your touch is what pulls me through
And I need you to know    
So let’s dim the lights,
Snuggle up in bed, you’ll show me the way,
‘Cause no one understands me the way you do

This is a song that Alex wrote for Crystal. It's going to be included in either my next short story or the one after that. It all depends on what I want to do with it.

I was inspired by a song that one of my favorite male country artists wrote. I was trying to emulate the gist of one of his songs with my own lyrics. I didn't plagiarize it or anything, but I looked at the concepts and put them into my own, very different words.

Oh, and yes, I said country. I was raised on country music and started getting back into it recently - recently meaning this weekend when I was stuck in the car with my dad, Hayden (my brother), his two friends, and a satellite radio with only one good station: the modern country station. I love the music and the lyrics of country love songs are always very soulful and sweet. Beat that, modern rock!! (Kidding. Modern rock's great, too, and also has many fantastic love songs.)

Yes, it's sappy, but I don't care. Love songs with a positive tone tend to be quite sappy. This is also my first real attempt at a full length song, so be gentle.

*waves a lighter back and forth* Encore! :clap: :clap:

I LOVED that! The tone of the words, the rhythm; it was lovely! I can definitely picture Alex singing this to Crystal. :love: And hey, it's a song I'D want to have on my ipod too! ;)

Just one thing, and I don't mean to nitpick, but is the first line supposed to say "on us?" Just wondering. =P

Thank you! =D :hug:

Thanks!! :glomp: :icongwomp: So can I. And then Crystal would melt into a puddle of goo. =P :love: Awww, really? Thankies! I think I'd quite like it on my iPod as well. ;)

It is! And I edited it! 'Tis but a typo. You know how those stupid things are! -raises fist menacingly and grumbles- Damn you, typos!! Damn youuu!!

Sweet song. I'm guilty of having been singing something else while looking through it though. Ahaha, sorry. ^^'

If WillxPhobos was meant to exist, something tells me Shagon would go on a rampage.

Considering Will is the guardian of Quintessence and Matt usually transforms into Shagon using Quintessence, shouldn't WxM be called "Quintessenceshipping"?
:iconefa91:
It's fine. :lol: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. There are definitely a few parts that could be rewritten, but I like it overall.

You're welcome! :iconnewglomp:

Aw, yes she would! :P Who wouldn't melt into a puddle of goo at the sound of Alex's voice? ;) I know I would! =D Hrm.. wonder if Alex will let us get a copy of his song so we can put it on our iPods. ;)

Ugh, I know how you feel. I LOATHE typos! They're just pure evil. :shakefist: EVIL, EVIL, EVILLLLLLLLLLLL! :bleh:

Knowing Crystal she'd also attack him with her lips again the second he put down the guitar. :rofl: Look at that, Alex! Two booty calls from the wifey in one night! :rofl: Kidding. I think Crystal would be pretty tired so they'd just enjoy cooking dinner together and then they'd snuggle up on the couch with a blanket afterwards and watch television or something. =D Anywhozz, seeing as it's Jay's voice (you'd better know who I mean by "Jay" =P) I'd melt into a puddle of good, retain my human form, and repeat the process hundreds of times. ;) :lmao: He'd better! I'm his author/creater and you're his fangirl/honorary author. Of course he'd let us have a copy of the song!! =D

I loathe them, too! They're a thorn in my side. Or yes, EVIL, EVIL, EVILLLLLLLLLLLL is a good way of describing them, too. :lol:

Heehee, well I bet Alex would be a happy camper at the thought of that! :giggle: But yeah, they'd probably just snuggle and enjoy each other's company. Which is also very sweet. :love: Oh, of course I know who Jay is! :lol: ;) I'd be silly if I didn't! :iconlegaspplz: Ah, who doesn't love turning into a puddle of goo, reforming, and then repeating the process? Knowing me, I'll be right there gooing and then un-gooing and then re-gooing right along with ya! =D Yes he indeed better! But knowing what a sweetie he is, he definitely will. :heart:

It is! We should push them into a well! =P
