Another SongFight that I had ideas for but never completed.
When the night is deep and the moon is your friend
I got a moment to waste I got a moment to waste.
I won't be anywhere by myself, in the end
I am just the same as anyone
I'm not the guy that I am at the bar
But I was on your side, I was on your side
I didn't think you were a dangerous girl, but you are
And I miss the way I missed you
It's not easy to save one another
If it's not one it's the other
Every smile is a reflection
Every word a deflection
And I thought I saw you coming
And I felt like turning and running
Anyway
But I only imagined it.
You don't get mad when I'm not around
I don't know what to think, I don't know what to think
You were the only Juliet that I found
Drank the poison cup before you
It's not easy to save one another
If it's not one it's the other
Every smile is a reflection
Every word a deflection
And I thought I saw you coming
And I felt like turning and running
Anyway
But I only imagined it.
What I know about love isn't much
But I know why you were lonely
And I’m tired of being haunted at night
About why you still don't know me
And I thought I saw you coming
And I felt like turning and running
Anyway
But I only imagined it.

This has a dark, dusty road feel to it. The turning and running feel like dangerous headlights that are gaining fast. Haunting.

Rich tune here. The texture is beautiful, and the the lyrics thoughtful and evocative. Really nice.

Great work. "I didn't think you were a dangerous girl, but you are."
Filled with lots of emotions and great lyrics.

This is a hauntingly dark and beautiful song. The lap steel and synths multiply the melancholic feel.

“And I thought I saw you coming / and I felt like turning and running
anyway / but I only imagined it” is an incredibly good line. This a beautifully painted portrait of being lost inside something that looked so different from the outside, before you went in. Just a gorgeous song I loved listening
