Title: When Your Ship Sinks, I Hope I'm On It (Jake's Song)
Background: This is a song about my friends relationship with his now ex-girlfriend. I was friends with both of them and heard two sides. I put it in to my perspective, but in his body. He was hung up on this girl for a while. My lyric skills suck, but fuck I love singing this song. I kind of relate to it too, and didn't realize it until I read it a couple of times.
Lyrics:
There's nothing I can do,
helpless, hopeless, trying hard not to lose faith
I have been lying here thinking for hours
Why my life is so messed up these days
The sun doesn't shine anymore
The rain is falling like a tropical storm
The wind is picking up speed
My head is a cluttered mess
Full of everything you said
I'm still as confused as ever
I only want to hear you,
Tell me it's okay
Tell me there's a reason to live
I want to hear your voice in my ear like a song
I want to feel the lips i've been tasting for so long
I want you to hear my yelling when I say
"Be with me"
Like cancer, you make me feel like dying
Sometime's I think my life just might go on
With or without you
Then I notice how much I think about you
I know I am not anything at all
I feel like a man suffocating
The moon doesn't glow anymore
The storm is falling like a shipwreck on the water
The tornado is picking up speed
Tell me it's alright
Tell me it's okay
Tell me there's a reason to live
I want to hear your voice in my ear like a song
I want to feel the lips i've been tasting for so long
I want you to hear my yelling when I say
"Be with me"
Like cancer, you make me feel like dying
Can you guide the ship
that runs straight past your house?
Can you save me now?
I'm drowning under water.
I want to hear your voice in my ear like a song
I want to feel the lips i've been tasting for so long
I want you to hear my yelling when I say
"Be with me"
Like cancer, you make me feel like dying

but I know I can't be comfortable in my own skin.
So when I say I'm scared to be alone, you know I mean it,
I'm just not ready to leave my room.

Re: When Your Ship Sinks, I Hope I'm On It (Jake's Song)
thanks.
i know i'm not that talented at lyrics. but i really think that line "like cancer, you make me feel like dying" is possibly the best i could have come up for the song. i heard that all the stuff you have to go through to fight the cancer makes you feel like shit and everything, and he was really depressed over this girl so i felt like writing a song about it because both of them came to me with the sides they chose and she really broke up with him because she was bored & was scared to take the relationship up to the next level and wanted something new. since then though he's tried getting over her while she's somehow the one hung up on it. he just felt at the time like he hated life & wished he was dead & idk it was terrible.

Re: When Your Ship Sinks, I Hope I'm On It (Jake's Song)
Could I possibly get any more comments?
I'd like to hear input.
Not just "it's good, i like it"
Comments like "you should work on this ________. Here's an idea: ______" or "I really like the chorus, but the 2nd verse needs work, this part feels a bit pointless to be in the song _______, you should take it out and rework that"
Just examples. I'd really like some input.
