blind date romeo reloaded lyrics only
Lyrics are symphonies without the calluses
Updated after some great feedback
verse 1
Sitting alone at a bar table, one eye on the door
Watching every woman, did she have an umbrella
There wasn't going to be many, outside it was sunny and 34
Pick something better next time, I reminded myself to tell her
verse 2
I stirred my beer with a swizzle stick, the froth had long since gone
A metaphor of my own life, flat and lifeless to the touch
The clock on the wall bore witness, down and so forlorn
The fingers moved to a beat, a measure, that never mattered much
chorus
I wait and hold my breath, will this woman be the one
My list of brief encounters, dwarfs that of the no shows
This time it will be different, this time, this time, I know
So many fruitless nights, for a blind date romeo
bridge
I closed the dating app, swiping away the anger and despair
Deleted her bio, finished my drink, and stopped looking if she was there
verse 3
I shuffled to the bar, and threw the rose down on the floor
A pint and two whiskey chasers, a lot of catching up to do
No point in staying sober, I'd been down this road before
Looked at the picture of my ex, thought of what she'd put me through
chorus
I wait and hold my breath, will this woman be the one
My list of brief encounters, dwarfs that of the no shows
This time it will be different, this time, this time, I know
So many fruitless nights, for a blind date romeo
outro

You did a good job. usually a bridge by pro writers are structured VVCVCBC
I'd have to hear it to see if it works on a bridge then a v3 , rules are meant to be broken

Feels smoother to me. 😁
Just a thought: My list of brief encounters, dwarfs that of the no shows ➡️ My list of brief encounters, only matched by the no shows

Yes it does, thanks to you.
Take your point, on reflection though, might go with ( I keep a list of brief encounters, I delete all the no shows) feeds into the rejection and anger a bit.
I do appreciate your feedback and that of the others, this forum is an absolute goldmine. So enjoyable!

Just took a look at this and it's great. I'm working on the music for another lyric of yours as you know. Hopefully I'll have something for you shortly. Let's hope you get some more interest because you write some really good words.

Very cool, moving lyric. I like the chorus esp.
I think in this day and age it's an app story for many...
