Catching On

Some folks have to tell jokes
just to be a little bit funny
Some folks have to tell jokes
just to get a half-forced laugh

but you and I are inanely, hilarious
you and I are plainly, mysterious
With a little bit of wit, and a dash of stupidity
Just a little bit smitten, with a dash of ingenuity

Some peeps have to be creeps
just to be a little bit familiar
Some peeps have to be creeps
just to get a half-drunk friend

but you and I are inanely, hilarious
you and I are plainly, mysterious
With a little bit of wit, and a dash of stupidity
Just a little bit smitten, with a dash of ingenuity

I know we are best as friends
You say you're here til the end
They say we are just a trend

You and I hate cultural conformity
You and I are naturally abnormally
They say we are just a phase

When fall comes around, will you still be in style?
When spring gets here, will I still be worth your while?

Just the lyrics to a song I wrote. Yeah, it's pretty silly. No, it's not about anyone I've met yet.

Peace,
Amanda

Okay, I just wrote this too. Yes, this is cheesy. And yes, it is about someone.

I'd kinda like to think
that it was me you were looking at
Maybe it's naive
to think that you've fallen for me
Is it narcissistic
to hope that you think about me?
Maybe it's naive
to believe in organic chemistry

Love could be like monopoly
(I definitely am in jail a lot)
You're Boardwalk, but I've passed through to go
200 dollars richer, but my heart's a little poorer

Love could be like Hungry Hippos
{My heart's definitely growling)
The big addicts, snatching up the unexpected
Hungry for anything, but spitting most back out

Love could be like solitaire
(I'm definitely flyin' solo)
Strategically placing self in the right spot
Hoping the next card brings possibility

Maybe love isn't a game
Maybe cliche's should be done with
Maybe love is an abstraction
But, if so, sign me up, Malevich.

Okay, enough with the cheese already.
Goodnight.

  1. Good stuff! Put some music to your songs and let's get them recorded!

    I'd like to think my fb status was the inspiration for the hungry hippos, even though that doesn't mean anything because someone else wrote that status.

    I admit, I had to google Malevich.
