I Can't Decide

Another song I wrote recently came after learning "1, 2, 3, 4, (I love you)" by the Plain White T's. I swear this song could be easily in their collection. The chords came to me and I started singing their kind of melodies and this hit. It's probably the catchiest thing I've ever written. I can't decide on a good song name for it. And while the lyrics has ties to my personal life, the general feeling of the song is nothing like my relationship with my wife, so it's kind of strange singing in that vein. Also, I am probably most proud of the chorus and it's transition to the bridge. Oh it gets me.

First thing, and I know that it's for sure.
Right now, you're beautiful and pure
But wait, there's no need to before
I think she's waiting

Think fast, a drink is on it's way
stage dive This is what I'm trying to say
crowd surf tomorrow I will pay
but now I'm waiting

She sighs It has been too long
she cries I don't know what's wrong
she sings but I know it's not my song
I think she's waiting

I write the melodies for her
she knows I love her to be sure
But now she's waiting for something more
but now I'm waiting

I
I can't decide
I think it's over
One last time to see if it's right.

I
I can't decide
It can't be over
You are still standing by my side

I found a setting for her ring
I got her father's blessing
A priest is set for the wedding
but now I'm waiting

Thursday I'm calling all my friends
That night I'm tying up loose ends
Friday starts the rest of my weekends
we're no longer waiting

I
I can't decide
I think it's over
One last time to see if it's right.

I
I can't decide
It can't be over
You are still standing by my side

And you're still by my side
And you're still by my side
And you're still by my side

Give me a kiss and it'll be ok
A big embrace will be the way
Only one thing I have left to say
Is stay for me.
for Me.

I
I can't decide
I think it's over
One last time to see if it's right.

I
I can't decide
It can't be over
You are still standing by my side
