Straight and Narrow
One day I'll write a song you deserve. This isn't it.
I've found a beautiful life
An idyll of green, where all I do is sing
And I'm desperate to show you the sights, sometimes
The tranquility could almost be enough for me
.
I don't want to hurt you, but I'm thinking about it a lot
I'd be callous in the moment, but sorry long before I was caught
I remember how love feels every time I see you
And in between I wonder why I'm not blue
I just wish you were here to keep me on the straight and narrow
.
My memory has always been clear, yet now it's failing me
My thoughts an echo chamber of the faces I always see
What's wrong with me?
How can I let all that we meant slip out of focus
Then smoothly return to where we were now that I know this
.
I don't want to hurt you, but I'm thinking about it a lot
I'd be callous in the moment, but sorry long before I was caught
I remember how love feels every time I see you
And in between I wonder why I'm not blue
I just wish you were here to keep me on the straight and narrow

I'm not a Vocal Newbie (not that there's anything wrong with that), and I'm technologically comfortable. But, I'm also perhaps too comfortable. I think I know, even if I know that I don't know what I don't know, I still think I know more that I do know.

I loved the repeating lines, it did seem like a song. Loved it so much!
