LYRICS

PictureHere I am at 18 with my first guitar. My cousin Jessica and I are having some fun co-writing some lyrics.

I started writing music when I received my first guitar for my 18th birthday. I remember locking myself in my room for hours, marveling at the works of other singer-songwriters I had so dearly looked up to. Some of my favorites were Jewel, Michelle Branch, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple and Lisa Loeb. The list is actually pretty endless, but these were the poetic women who really shaped my love for writing in the lyrical style. Most of my songs, I played around the NJ Acoustic Open Mic circuit, and I was even fortunate enough to have been able to record a few songs  or “excerpts” of this life of mine. I hope you enjoy reading through these, as much as I did creating them.

ABOUT THE SONG 
I wrote this song when I was in my first year of art school around 2002. I just wrote it about the cattiness that young girls display toward one another. I had encountered that a lot growing up, and I really wanted to put it into song. The lyrics are a bit amateur, but it was only the 3rd song I had ever written, so I’d like to give myself a little credit where credit is due. I would love to re-record this at some point, in my adult voice. You can really hear my immaturity and lack of dynamic and control in my young little teen voice.

Verse 1:
She sits in class fixin’ her face
As if someone really cared
She looks up from her mirror
Givin’ off her evil stares

Pre Chorus:
She goes back
To her world
Of perfection
In that piece of glass in her hand
I roll my eyes
And turn away
As she flips her hair once again

Chorus:
Don’t worry bout first impressions
Her face is all that matters to her
Don’t drop that mirror girl
It’ll shatter your perfect world
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
Oh whoa uh-huh uh-huh
Whoa- Hey -oh -oh

Verse 2:
You think you’d have egg on your face
The way she stares you down
As you walk on by
And your clothes, they’re not her taste
You could tell by the way
That she rolls her eyes

Pre Chorus:
I’m sorry that I can’t live up
To your expectations, whoa whoa
You’re too stuck up, I give up!
I won’t even try to be nice…

Chorus:
Don’t worry bout first impressions
Her face is all that matters to her
Don’t drop that mirror girl
It’ll shatter your perfect world

Bridge:
I hope one day for that price you’ll pay
For all those dirty looks and the things you’d say

Outro:
I hope you drop your world
I hope you drop your world…
