Arrangements while you wait. Felt encouraged to play harmonica. Kinda goes off the rails at the end there. I kinda like that part 😎

Lyrics

Hey-a! no need to worry about me I'm not the one's been callin perception reality Hey-a! sometimes it's hard to see The way that it is is exactly the way that it had to be

Ooh, you can't help being you Oh, it was time for me to go

Hey-a! no need to worry about me I'm not the one's been callin perception reality Hey-a! sometimes it's hard to see The way that it is is exactly the way that it had to be

Ooh, if you believe in it, it's true Oh, it was time for me to go Nothing Lasts forever Nothing good Nothing bad

Ooh, you didn't ask me what I wanted to do Whoa-oh, it was time for me to go

Hey-a! no need to worry about me I'm not the one's been callin perception reality Hey-a! sometimes it's hard to see The way that it is was exactly the way that it had to be

POSSIBLE EDIT: I'm not the one , calling perception reality

Love your voice! Reminds me of a favorite singer of mine from back in the day: Steve Earle (if you haven't heard him, I'm sure you'd dig him).

Love the honest delivery...and love that you went off the rails. Rails are meant to be gone off of.

Great job!

@klyma 2d

You flatter me! Steve Earle, Tom Petty, Willie Nelson, Neil Young... if you hear any of them in my voice, writing, or guitar playing, you're hearing it right.

There's some great lyrical ju-jitsu happening in this song. Deceptively simple but you've completely told the story of a breakup here - that defining line "I'm not the one's been callin perception reality" marks the line in the sand, and the refrain reinforces it without overdoing it. Plus harmonica. Always harmonica.

@eas3637 (makes guttural lyrical ju-jitsu sound) Thank you! It was fun to play with that kind of lyric over the upbeat. Breakup dance party!

Great title (for lack of better things to say) 😂 Really nice voice and guitar playing! Can't go wrong with that harmonica either. Keep taking it off the rails 😎

@mbmusic feelin' the love -- thanks for checking it out (for lack of... well, you know) 😆
