Don't Tell Me You Know How It Feels
"I feel like a fool to be longing for that lyin' summer love"
I'm not in a band yet, it's just me and my guitars. I haven't really found my musical voice yet, but I'm experimenting and a lot of potentially interesting pieces fall out of that sort of process, and I'd like to share some of them.
Story behind the song
The full title is Don't Tell Me You Know How It Feels Cause I Really Don't Think That You Know How It Feels. Yes, all of that. Why? Just because. Anyway, this is a true story.
Lyrics
(chorus) don't tell me you know how it feels
cause I really don't think that you know how it feels
don't tell me, I'd rather you show me
show me how it feels
I took her to lunch, and bought her a snack
we sat there and laughed, then I walked her right back
we were havin' fun, and I wanted to stay
but I took my leave, and went my way
she invited me out, taught me to dance
showed me the moves, just the right stance
we hit it off, but when the lights went out
I was alone, filled with doubt
when the rain came falling, we shared an umbrella
she brought me upstairs, and baked mozzarella
we put on some tunes, but the rain vanished
I left that palace, cold and famished
the day at the park, we sure had a blast
we both sat in front, and flew really fast
I was glad to be with her, she was glad to be there
it was quite an amusement, but it's still no fair
the day I saw her, the girl in the grass
the night I met her, holding a glass
all the time I loved her, she did not know
wouldn't make a difference, though
