Writing mostly on ukulele due to being a work.
Prompt #1: Write a song about anticipation.
Edit: Updated with a really rough demo recorded on my phone. Will likely return to this song when I'm not at work and busy with clients
It’s been too long
I just want to see you again
All this time to wait
It’s more than I can take
You’ve gotta take some time
And I wish that it would fly by
That you’d announce your return
But I know you’ve got to get it right
I’m counting down
(Hours, minutes, seconds)
It’s getting close
(Your homecoming beckons)
Hurry up, hurry up
(I can’t wait another day
To be together again
What I wouldn’t give
The seasons pass
Gone by in a flash
You’d think I’d learn
To savour every second that I can
Now I’m sitting waiting
Trying to maintain some patience
Excitement gets too much to bear
I just want you here
Then the nerves set in
Building it up and up and up
Inside my head
So I try to be calm instead
But I feel like I might explode
Truth be told
I’m not the same
When you’re away

Great energy! Fun and wistful. Sweet lyrics and singing. You can't see it but my head is bobbing along to the groove

Gone by in a flash”
