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...
After compiling a few more lines - actually completing the lyrics except for the bridge - I decided to make them present tense: 'me' watching a couple dance and discovering my longing for 'her':
time's frozen, I am spellbound
I cannot keep my eyes from you
my heart races, my mind's tumbling
what I'm seeing can't be true
Latin lover, smart seducer
graceful dancer, racy guy
compared to him I'm a looser
watching him could make me cry
I want to be like him
I want to shed my skin
I want to take his part
I want to own your heart
pure grace joins pure beauty
huge eyes to sink into
I was doomed 'cause I was smitten
the moment that I spotted you
while I'm feeling lost and helpless
he's capturing your secret dreams
with me watching jealously
you fall for his cunning schemes
I want to be like him
I want to shed my skin
I want to take his part
I want to own your heart
