WRITING.

(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

Structure

(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)

VI – PC – HOOK – VII – HOOK – OUTRO

verse i

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

is there something more exciting
than seeing endlessness in another person
i 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

with a heart all full and a head all empty
that’s being with you
if you don’t let go
if you don’t let go
sometimes i can’t take care of myself
you remind me i got to
that’s god and i believe

prechorus

if you don’t let me go
i won’t go anywhere

if you don’t go
i won’t go anywhere
go anywhere
go anywhere

hook

when you think of god
do you think of us

when you think of god
do you think of us?
cause i think of you
i think of you

verse ii

the world around don’t really matter

make sure to be with me make sure to be with you

it’s all coming from a place of love

to be with you

to be with you is to do selfcare

i don’t need watching out for
i need you

time i spent writing these songs
i been thinking about you

with a heart full
and a head all empty
being with you is self care
if you don’t let go
if you don’t let go

outro

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
cause together we are love
we are love
we are love

you don’t gotta
but i know it does good to you too
you gon feel good too

cause at the end of it all
together we are love we are love
we are love

won’t beg you to love me you don’t gotta
but i know it does good to you too

and at the end of it all
together we are love
we are love
we are love
