ABOUT THE SONG
I wrote this song around the end of 2007 or early 2008 after a long term relationship. It was the longest relationship of my early 20s, ending as I approached my 24th birthday. It was after I had ended this relationship, that I had realized that I hadn't really experienced life as a 20 something year old adult yet. I felt like maybe I was starting to settle a bit, and I needed to find myself as a young girl coming into my adulthood. I needed to feel life out a bit, and I wanted to get out and experience more things for myself without the influence of a man in my life. Also, at that age, people tend to grow apart as they "grow up", and as bittersweet as it is, I felt it was time for me to move on. This is a somber sounding song acoustically, but I can hear some big guitars surrounding the bridge. Also, there is no real chorus or hook to this song. It just feels like it doesn't need one to me... This is one of those songs that I feel I just needed to get out of me emotionally at that time; I wasn't really writing this to commercially appeal to anyone, so it might not be as catchy as my other songs. That's fine, they can't all be radio polished tunes. Who knows, maybe one day I'll go back and add some kind of hook if I ever feel inspired to. I'm always down to revisit things and remix/freshen old material up a bit! Music & Lyrics by Justina Carubia Scratch Demos ©2008 Verse 1: It never crossed my mind that I Never finished what I started You gave me everything I'm sorry to say that This plane has departed Pre Chorus: And I'm like a baby It's like seeing the world for the very first time And I can't say maybe When the chances are slim And the odds are a mountain to climb Verse 2: You taught me everything so Pointless to use in this Worst Case Scenario Another toast I make to Forgetting the words To the songs that you wrote me Pre Chorus: And I can't go back This carousel moves too fast In the perfect direction And I never speak my mind When the wind moves too fast My words fly back to my face Just like dust in my eyes... Bridge: You never speak your mind You never speak your mind You never speak your mind Instrumental Outro: I never speak my mind When the wind moves too fast It's just a worst case scenario...
