(This is the part where I brainstorm lyrical ideas for the track)
when you think of god do you think of us?
when i think of you and me together i’m in heaven
when we’re together everything works better
what’s the deal with you? the song just asks what do you think of us,
what are your ideas for us and our future,
am i hitting you as hard as you are hitting me?
is the time we spend together as important to you as it is to me?
when you look up at the sky do you think about someone above or do you think of us?
there’s nothing more real to me than you are
you’re like the sky to my sea
my heart is all full, my head is all empty
that’s what this feels with you
and i don’t wanna miss it,
don’t wanna miss you for anything
don’t wanna go missing on you
if you don’t let me go
if you don’t let me go
when you look up do you see us?
if you don’t let me go
i won’t go anywhere
why waste time on imaginary things
when you can look at us and see god
everybody should see their version of god
in their very own relatiosnhip
nothing beats being together on this earth,
cause together we are love
when the sun come up north is when i’ll be tired of you
is there something more exciting
than seeing endlessness in another person
don’t think so
isn’t that something that we should all strive for,
it gives purpose
being with somebody else gives
purpose to every living thing
to make sure you take care of them
cause sometimes you can’t take care of yourself
but you remind me i have to
you remind me that i gotta take care of myself
and take care of you as well
that’s a form of religion, and i believe in us
endless
good luck fall by the wayside
it’s what we do together that counts
if you keep it up long enough it’s coming in full force
i don’t beg you to love me
you don’t have to do it
but i know it does good to you too
you’re gonna feel good too
lines to incorporate.
→ have the ending be together we are love like the outro
(This is the part where I put the brainstormed ideas into order and try and create finished lyrics – as you can see there’s lots of iteration going on)
