Songs I've written.. A little bit about them, too.
15 years, 6 months & 3 days ago
24th Jun 2009 18:53 Okay, so this is not only filled with my totally pathetic and overrated songs, but it has a little bit about why I wrote the song in the first place. And, just so you know, I'm a country girl. So what I write is intended to be country... Sort of like Taylor Swift's early days, I guess. But I don't want to end up on a pop station. D= If I can do anything with this music, anyway...

"Unscratched," by Victoria Amber ---
About the song: This is my most recent song, and it's probably the strangest of them all by far. xD. I wrote it because recently some... Boy troubles... Have made my life a little less interesting to me, and a good friend turned it around and possibly opened up a new door for me. So here's the song. Hope you like it?
The song:
Walking slow
I wonder if you know
That you couldn't be
More special to me
When I'm with you
It's so easy to
Imagine the music to a country song
And pretend we're dancing along
That fits our story
Perfectly
(chorus)
This is something new
For both me and you
Like an unscratched CD
One that came brand new and free
(end chorud)
Talking slow
I wonder if you know
That this is one of those days
You make me feel like one of the suns rays
When I'm talking to you on the phone
It's so easy to zone
Out in La La Land
Imagining we're hand in hand
(chorus)
This is something new
For both me and you
Like an unscratched CD
One that came brand new and free
(end chorus)
Starting slow
I think we both know
That this is going to be something else
A little more than something special
(chorus)
This is something new
For both me and you
Like an unscratched CD
One that came brand new and free
(end chorus)
(chorus)
This is something new
For both me and you
Like an unscratched CD
One that came brand new and free
(end chorus)

"Why," by Victoria Amber ---
About the song: Okay, more boy troubles. Caused by the same boy, written before "Unscratched" though. xD... "Why" is supposed to sum up how I felt. Like... Why I even bothered because all of my friends just complain about their boyfriends, and I already knew what to expect. It was like a song explaining how stupid I was for taking the bait.
The song:
Can someone please explain
Why love only causes pain
Is it just that way
Or does it get better some day?
(chorus)
Why do I let you
Captivate me with eyes so true
Why do I wonder
So many things I can't count the number
Why, oh, why
Did I even try?
When I know how it is in the end
I can't fight my anticipation
Never knew guys
Didn't like questions that start with 'why.'
(end chorus)
Holdin' on a little bit stronger
The worst is over
Now I have to look myself in the eye
Try not to wonder why, oh , why (fade)
(chorus)
Why do I let you
Captivate me with eyes so true
Why do I wonder
So many things I can't count the number
Why, oh, why
Did I even try?
When I know how it is in the end
I can't fight my anticipation
Never knew guys
Didn't like questions that start with 'why.'
(end chorus)
It's not as easy as it seems
It's not the happy ending scene
Do I even want one?
Or am I better off as one? (fade)
Sometimes, oh, some times
I get to thinking
That I miss the good times
I must be dreaming
(lightly sang)
(chorus)
Why do I let you
Captivate me with eyes so true
Why do I wonder
So many things I can't count the number
Why, oh, why
Did I even try?
When I know how it is in the end
I can't fight my anticipation
Never knew guys
Didn't like questions that start with-
Why do I let you
Captivate me with eyes so true
Why do I wonder
So many things I can't count the number
Why, oh, why
Did I even try?
When I know how it is in the end
I can't fight my anticipation
Never knew guys
Didn't like questions that start with why
(end chorus)
Can someone please explain
Why love only causes pain

"Because You're in Junior High," by Victoria Amber ---
About the song: I got some kicks while writing this one... I am leaving Junior High, and these two years have gone so fast that I can't even believe it's summer already... This song just lists some of the problems I faced, the hardships, but mostly the good times and the awesome memories I'm always going to have.
The song:
Just one day
You'd think it'd go okay
But all it does is go wrong
And it seems so long
Then your best friend tells you some bad news
You can't even get a laugh at she sucks or she chews
You run from the slu.ts
Don't want to get mixed up
But it's way too late
It's way too late...
(chorus)
Because you're in junior high
The days all go by
Slow or fast
Just make it last
Even when it seems impossible
You're not stoppable
Just let things fly
Because you're in junior high
(end chorus)
Hurry to homeroom
Better get there soon
You've got an assignment to cram in that's due
What's new
Your guy friends need math help
You're working on your health
The day just gets crazier from there
And you're looking for mental sanctuary somewhere
(chorus)
Because you're in junior high
The days all go by
Slow or fast
Just make it last
Even when it seems impossible
You're not stoppable
Just let things fly
Because you're in junior high
(end chorus)
Then the days quicken
You're about to be a freshman
It's your last week of eighth grade
And you think you've got it made
You look back at the things that went down
Wondering how you'll ever leave this town
It seems impossible to you
But junior high did, too
Now here comes the future
It's a blurry picture
It'll all be clear
Next year
(chorus)
Because you're in junior high
The days all go by
Slow or fast
Just make it last
Even when it seems impossible
You're not stoppable
Just let things fly
Because you're in junior high
(end chorus)
So much for boy troubles and drama
Cheerleaders, friends saying yo mama
All you can think about
Is how you started out
Now you've come a long way
Things get better each day
Friends all around
Enemies still try to knock you on the ground
But that comes with life
All you can do is try
Get back up when you're down
Never forget your hometown...
Because you were in junior high
Now all the days have gone by
Slow and fast
But you made it last
Even when it seemed impossible
You weren't stoppable
You just let things fly
When you were in junior high.

"I Do," by Victoria Amber ---
About the song: My first totally-on-my-own song. It means something to me, and again, troubles caused by the SAME boy! He's been in my life two years, and it's become a bi polar roller coaster (xD, that's the title of the newest song I'm working on, -wink-wink-) . This bundle of words is trying to sum up that even if he left me I would still love him (like a complete idiot...) .
The song:
If you go
Who's to say
I'm on my own
If you're away
I do
(chorus)
You think your right
I know I'm wrong
To me you're the light
I've been in the dark way too long
I need help here
But you're not willing
I messed up big here
And you're agreeing
What could I do?
(I need help)
To prove that I love you
(I need help)
There's no one I can turn to
Who can fix what I've done wrong
I don't know how to make it up to you
Because I'm afraid that you'll be long gone...
If you want me gone
Who's to say
I won't be long
I won't stay
I do
I won't leave you
And I won't say
That I don't need you
I'm gonna stay
(chorus)
You think your right
I know I'm wrong
To me you're the light
I've been in the dark way too long
I need help here
But you're not willing
I messed up big here
And you're agreeing
What could I do?
(I need help)
To prove that I love you
(I need help)
There's no one I can turn to
Who can fix what I've done wrong
I don't know how to make it up to you
Because I'm afraid that you'll be long gone...
My heart is lost in this maze (this maze)
I can't take it
Like I'm running through a haze (a haze)
I can't take it
You've put me in a daze
But who takes it?
I do

"You Want Us To," by Victoria Amber --- And- Yeah, I'm not saying her name. =P
About this song: I didn't write this on my own, clearly. One of my best friends on this whole entire planet helped me with this. We had two boys in our lives at one point. One was her best friend, the other was, yes, the SAME boy. And we found out that there were some pros and cons that matched up about both them. So we put together this song!
The song:
I am the princess
You are the prince
Our fairy tale gets stranger by each and every minute
You know how to make me laugh
You know how to make me cry
I know how to confuse you
We both know how to sigh
Will our story have a happy ending
That's for you to decide
I chose the path I'm going on
I'm willing to leave you behind
(chorus)
You've been an idiot around me
I've been your best friend
We've faced the hard times together
And we've stuck through 'til the end
But now our lives are changing
And there's only so much we can do
It's impossible to stay the same
But you want us to
Time can't stop
But that's something I can do
It's your choice if it's a loss
It's your choice if you want me to
(end chorus)
I can take a day
I can take a year
I'll always love you
But I don't need you here
You know I was doin' just fine
Until you walked into my life
Shook everything around
And tried to take me down
And then stabbed me with a knife
I've got a heart
I've got a soul
You've got me
More than you know
(chorus)
You've been an idiot around me
I've been your best friend
We've faced the hard times together
And we've stuck through 'til the end
But now our lives are changing
And there's only so much we can do
It's impossible to stay the same
But you want us to
Time can't stop
But that's something I can do
It's your choice if it's a loss
It's your choice if you want me to
(end chorus)
I didn't throw a penny into a well
I didn't cast a spell
I didn't wish upon a shooting star
You can't help it and neither can I
We just are who we are
Anyone and everyone can tell me
That magic played a part
It doesn't mean I have to believe them
I'll just beat them at the start
Because-
(chorus)
You've been an idiot around me
I've been your best friend
We've faced the hard times together
And we've stuck through 'til the end
But now our lives are changing
And there's only so much we can do
It's impossible to stay the same
But you want us to
Time can't stop
But that's something I can do
It's your choice if it's a loss
It's your choice if you want me to
(end chorus)
I am the princess
You are the prince
Our fairy tale gets stranger
By each and every minute
You know how to make me laugh
You know how to make me cry
I know how to confuse you
We both know how to sigh
Will our story have a happy ending
That's for you to decide
I chose the path I'm going on
I'm willing to leave you behind
