"Well, I Guess I've Got My Swagger Back"

So for some odd reason, the song writing didn't stop for a while last night. In all, I wrote eight songs between last night and this morning about a variety of topics dealing with love - watching old movies, wedding vows, the certainty of the one, pain caused by those we love most, etc.

This is some sort of epiphany, I know. I've been waiting for this for a while, and I think I know why it's come now. I'm definitely not going to post them all, but I think I'm going to try and do something with them.

This is one of my favorites because it's current to what I'm kinda feeling right now. I'm going to post the one I cherish the most a little later, and yes they will soon be copyrighted.

Thinking of You
By DAMON SMITH

It may have just been days ago
That we really met
But off of my feet,
Is where I’ve been swept
Already I can see the depths, of you
Lead to the Truth
So I have no reason
to be scared nor confused
Your words, your smile
Beguile my heart, they do
So many amazing thoughts for me
to insatiably muse through

(Chorus)
I’ll be thinking of you
When I wake,
In the morn, I'm thinking of you

I’ll be thinking of you
When I take,
My last breath, I'll be thinking of you


At night
before I sleep
In that same moment,
I just hope you’re thinking of me, too.
(Repeat)

Constantly, in my mind you are
It’s like your words knew where to start
I didn’t want to give away this secret
I don’t fall this fast, this frequent-ly
My soul is immersed with your being
Could this be true, what I’m believing?
One question hearken my soul every time I pray
Could you be my missing rib molded from God’s clay?

(Chorus)

I’ll be thinking of you
When I wake,
In the morn, I'm thinking of you

I’ll be thinking of you
When I take,
My last breath, I'll be thinking of you

At night before I sleep
In that same moment,
I just hope you’re thinking of me, too.
(Repeat)

(bridge)
I have no clue where this is going
don't know if we'll stay grounded
or fly high like a Boeing
I just know I can't keep myself from showing
you how I feel, just want things to keep flowing ...
