3 chord strummer. Changed the word "I" to "Eye" to fit the brief. Nominally about eyes but probably about proposing to my wife, or writer's block. Lyrics are sorta placeholders. Boy, did it turn out poppy. Sorry the EYES are real loud.
EYES roll in slow motion
to the ocean
you drifting beside me
downhill
the upstream river bends
tell it silent
as we stand in the sun
try to clean out your mind
try to remember it's a function of the times
tell everyone else who's so generous
it's a short step
don't make a noise, the reaction's in her eyes
present tense is often the most tense
let's do the things that i've never tried
EYES come to the table
when eye'm able
if you bring me a mop
for the spills
the upstream river bandits
play violins
and eye can't stand all the noise
try to look through her eyes
try to imagine the nightmares left behind
a chemical trace leaves you stuttering
on the door step
don't turn around like you've done a hundred times
go with the first thought
it might be the best thought
just do the thing
and know that you tried

Thanks so much! Sorry about being slow to respond to comments. In addition to writer's block, my crippling fear of human contact is another thing I'm trying to get over this year. Hope you're having a good month so far.

This is a cool tune. Solid production. Well written. All around fun. Reminds me of chuck cleaver/the ass ponys with a touch of social distortion thoroughly enjoyed!

This is great fun and I love the way the backing vocals surprise you. "present tense is often the most tense"... great line.
