Scratch Track - Comin Up Empty (Patreon)

Hi guys 🩵 not usually what I post, and more reactions and vlogs coming soon… but I wanted to take y’all along with me as I write some new songs. This is a scratch I just did and I’ve developed it a bit more since, but it’s one of my favorites I’ve written. There’s always something special about the songs I write on my own, and something cathartic about processing emotions by writing 16 year old diary entry heartbreak songs 😉 hope you like it and I’ll post more as I keep working on it. Revised lyrics below (changed since this scratch but working with some collaborators on putting a demo together):

Comin’ Up Empty

V

Shaking hands, couldn’t look into my eyes

Take it slow, but it fell by the wayside 

Playin house, would you wanna be all mine? 

Sending songs with subliminal meaning

Learned the cast of your friends and your family 

Swore you would only say what you mean 

Pre 

And I’ve been missing 

You before I ever 

Followed you 

Sheets over

Wary lovers, my november 

Optimist 

Never been so sure **

Chorus 

I said “you might wanna run away”

Told me stop writing a prophecy 

No price too high for wanting me

You’ll put me deep inside the vault

Collecting girls you never loved 

Insisted you always dreamed of me 

Had me comin clean

Now I’m comin up empty 

Verse 

Tracing lines onto your waist 

Hope we really don’t change 

A dose of what could be

Made me a muse 

And Left to write the story (melody)

Looking at me softly

You didn’t mean to want me 

Should’ve known by the stars

We were Cursed by the 13th 

I kinda like the comfort

Something familiar 

The carpet you laid 

ripped from under me 

Chorus 

Bridge

Staring at me, head back, last cigarette

Falling for me, New York City park bench

I can always see how shit’s gonna end

But I couldn’t see this

Call it too much, call it too fast, call it quits

Asked me on the subway if I ever wanted kids 

Testing out, would I skip town, just me and you

What’d I say that made you want to? ***

Chorus 

I knew that you would run away

Recurring divine prophecy 

Declaring your words mean something 

Straight faced, plot hole, thinking bout loving me *

Characters twisted inside the vault

Voyeur of stories never told

Insisted I was your dream girl 

Had me comin clean

Now I’m comin up empty 

Final

became part of your everyday 

Coffee break calls when you thought of me 

Took my hand, hung me by the lead 

I hope you love writing your version of me
