Prompt: Write a country ballad about a small town millennial woman, just found out about the engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, pining for her big city lover who is away on business trips.
š¶ Swift Rings and City Wings
(Verse 1)
Sheās got boots by the door and a heart full of fire
Works the retail floor, dreams climbing higher
Scrolling through headlines on her breakroom phone
Taylor said yes, now sheās not alone
(Pre-Chorus)
And it hits like a chord from a midnight song
Sheās been holding on, but itās been so long
(Chorus)
While Taylorās got her fairytale, garden full of blooms
Sheās stuck in this cafĆ© light, sweeping up perfume
Her loverās in the city, chasing suits and flights
Sheās counting down the Thursdays, missing Friday nights
Swiftās got her Kelce, and the worldās in tune
But sheās still waiting on a text beneath the Gold Coast moon
(Verse 2)
Sheās got a half-written verse in her notebook sleeve
About a man who leaves and a girl who believes
Heās got boardrooms and skyline views
Sheās got quiet strength and retail blues
(Pre-Chorus)
And she wonders if he sees her in the crowd
Or if her loveās just whispers heās tuned out
(Chorus)
While Taylorās got her fairytale, garden full of blooms
Sheās stuck in this cafĆ© light, sweeping up perfume
Her loverās in the city, chasing suits and flights
Sheās counting down the Thursdays, missing Friday nights
Swiftās got her Kelce, and the worldās in tune
But sheās still waiting on a text beneath the Gold Coast moon
(Bridge)
She donāt need a diamond, donāt need a stage
Just a hand to hold through the workday haze
But the silence grows louder than the radio
And the love songs feel like someone elseās show
(Final Chorus)
While Taylorās got her fairytale, garden full of blooms
Sheās stuck in this cafĆ© light, sweeping up perfume
Her loverās in the city, chasing suits and flights
Sheās counting down the Thursdays, missing Friday nights
Swiftās got her Kelce, and the worldās in tune
But sheās still waiting on a text beneath the Gold Coast moon
(Outro)
So hereās to the girls with hearts unshown
Who love like lyrics, but dance alone
Taylorās got her ring, and the world says āyesā
Sheās got a quiet maybe, and a hopeful guess
Prompt: Write an early 2000s pop anthem about lying in bed daydreaming about a husband who doesn’t exist yet but he’s about to show up. Prayers and faith. Soul mates and Twin Flames.
š¶ He’s Almost Mine
(Verse 1)
Pillow talk with the stars again
Iām tracing hearts on the ceiling fan
Heās not here, but I feel the pull
Like fateās got plans and my heartās half full
I light a candle, whisper his name
Donāt know his face, but I feel the flame
Every prayerās a love letter sent
To the man I havenāt metābut I know heās heaven-sent
(Pre-Chorus)
Iāve danced with shadows, cried in the rain
But I still believe in twin flame lanes
(Chorus)
Iām lying in bed, dreaming in gold
Faith in my chest, love yet untold
Heās almost mine, I feel it rise
Like sunrise breaking through cloudy skies
Soulmate energy, written in time
Iām not aloneāIām just waiting in rhyme
Heās almost mine⦠almost mine
(Verse 2)
Iāve seen him in flashes, in songs I adore
In the way I leave space on the bedroom floor
Heās the reason I smile at the moon
Like itās keeping secrets itāll share soon
Iāve kissed the wrong lips, learned the hard way
But I never stopped hoping for someday
Heās out there chasing his own dream
And Iām here building the life weāll team
(Pre-Chorus)
Iāve danced with shadows, cried in the rain
But I still believe in twin flame lanes
(Chorus)
Iām lying in bed, dreaming in gold
Faith in my chest, love yet untold
Heās almost mine, I feel it rise
Like sunrise breaking through cloudy skies
Soulmate energy, written in time
Iām not aloneāIām just waiting in rhyme
Heās almost mine⦠almost mine
(Bridge)
Maybe heās lost, maybe heās late
But love like this donāt forget its fate
Iāll keep the light on, keep the space warm
For the arms Iāve never felt, but know will transform
(Final Chorus)
Iām lying in bed, dreaming in gold
Faith in my chest, love yet untold
Heās almost mine, I feel it rise
Like sunrise breaking through cloudy skies
Soulmate energy, written in time
Iām not aloneāIām just waiting in rhyme
Heās almost mine⦠almost mine
Prompt: Write a spooky Halloween song about a Witch that never grows old, using her beauty to capture the hearts of men.
š¶ Velvet Curse
(Verse 1)
She walks where the roses never bloom
In heels that echo through the tomb
Eyes like embers, lips like wine
Sheās been twenty-five since ancient time
She stirs her tea with a silver blade
Whispers spells in the masquerade
Men fall fast, they never learn
Beautyās just the match before the burn
(Pre-Chorus)
She donāt need a broom or a bubbling pot
Just a glance, and youāre already caught
(Chorus)
Sheās the velvet curse in a midnight dress
A kiss that feels like sweet distress
Sheāll steal your soul with a smile so cold
The Witch who never grows old
Sheās the echo in your loverās sigh
The reason hearts go dark and dry
Youāll chase her flame till youāre controlled
By the Witch who never grows old
(Verse 2)
She paints her nails with moonlight ash
Keeps her youth in a crystal stash
Sheās danced with kings, betrayed their thrones
Left them weeping in fields of bones
She hums a tune that bends the air
A lullaby laced with despair
Youāll think youāve found your twin flame bright
But sheās the shadow in candlelight
(Pre-Chorus)
She donāt need a wand or a haunted spell
Just perfume laced with carousel
(Chorus)
Sheās the velvet curse in a midnight dress
A kiss that feels like sweet distress
Sheāll steal your soul with a smile so cold
The Witch who never grows old
Sheās the echo in your loverās sigh
The reason hearts go dark and dry
Youāll chase her flame till youāre controlled
By the Witch who never grows old
(Bridge)
Sheās not in mirrors, not in dreams
Sheās in the silence between your screams
Youāll swear sheās love, youāll swear sheās fate
But sheās just hunger dressed as grace
(Final Chorus)
Sheās the velvet curse in a midnight dress
A kiss that feels like sweet distress
Sheāll steal your soul with a smile so cold
The Witch who never grows old
Sheās the echo in your loverās sigh
The reason hearts go dark and dry
Youāll chase her flame till youāre controlled
By the Witch who never grows old
