I’ve loved Shannon’s song “Silence” for ages and wanted to do something different with the lyrics building around her great chorus. Here’s the pell. Thanks for the inspiration Shannon.
Here’s the words;

When I was young
it wasn’t complicated;
tried to be so strong
you know I should have waited -
till you came along
to brighten up my world you see

When it came for real
was like a bullet in my heart
couldn’t breathe for days -
how could she leave
when I had promised a new start?
Now the winters gone
my heart’s been idle for too long (girl)

But..everytime I think about
what we could have done
what we could have been
If we were willing to wait.
We were in such a rush!
now we’re out of sync
and we’re out of touch
now its too late..
to alter our mistakes

You came into my life
just like the woman of my dreams
when it was plain to see
I had been bleeding from the seams
but kept it close to me
with my heart uncovered
a brand new world discovered!
now your’e lying next to me! (whispered in my ear)

Everytime I think about
what we could have done
what we could have been
if we were willing to wait.
We were in such a rush!
now we’re out of sync
and we’re out of touch
now its too late
to alter our mistake

Could I be so wrong?
I guess I got excited
I couldn’t wait that long
‘till we got united
Now I’m glad its gone…


(Reprise)
Out of sync
We were out of touch
Now its much too late
We’re in such a rush
but I guess its fate
that I loved you much
but life is such…
