I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
I've worked on the bridge: one blow one stroke just some minor lapse one blow one stroke make your world collapse And I think I'll repeat the lines I added to the verses once more after the bridge as a kind of lift or pre-chorus. Thus, the complete lyrics...
