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 
This was the song that started it ALL. This was the very first complete song I ever wrote, when I was just 18. I had only been playing the guitar for a few months at that point, and I remember just sitting on my bed strumming the Am chord, and I blurted out a lyric and the whole song just flowed right out of me in a matter of minutes. Shortly after, I began playing coffeehouses and started churning out song after song. I started working with a producer who helped me put together my first 3 song EP. The song itself was about a relationship that I was in, that was kind of in limbo. I kept getting the runaround from this boy, but I kept insisting that he was worth waiting around for. In retrospect, I was just a very dumb and naive 18 year old girl, hahaha!


Music and Lyrics
By Justina Carubia
Self Titled EP ©2003

Verse 1:
Here’s a thought
Dry your eyes now don’t you cry
Follow me
Throw your troubles to the sky

Pre Chorus:
I know that you’re worried
But it’ll be alright
Just take your time, no hurry
I’ll still be on your side

Chorus:
Cuz I know that I mean what I say
When I look in your eyes
And I won’t ever go away
That’s for you to decide
Just let me know
When it’s time…
Time…

Verse 2:
Take a look
At the situation here
I know that you need time
How bout a year?

Pre Chorus:
I’ll wait till the stars fall
Or till pigs fly
Just please don’t forget me
Or push me aside

Chorus:
Cuz I know that I mean what I say
When I look in your eyes
And I won’t ever go away
That’s for you to decide
Just let me know
When it’s time…
Time…
