‘Just Believe’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

Just Believe
lyrics by @sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

just believe in me I ask
even when I’m making myself
an ass
I know in the fulness of time
our love will last, last, last

just believe in me
just believe in me
if we’re lucky
you’ll believe in us

things are a gas
making us all laugh
one by two
but what else am I to do
but believe that
that this love our ours
may last, last, last

just believe in me
just believe in me
if we’re lucky
you’ll believe in us

(bridge)
but what can I say
what can I do
that you haven’t heard before
while I was trapped in our love
like an animal in the zoo

just believe in me
just believe in me
if we’re lucky
you’ll believe in us

‘Let’s Go Home’ #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

Let’s Go Home
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

in the still of evening
we see each other in greeting
I hold your hand
in the grocery store
with longing and a desire for more
so I turn to you and say
baby

let’s go home
stop our roaming
let’s go home
let’s go home
stop our roaming
let’s go home

the sun has set
making me regret
the distance of the day
when I fret that you may
have drifted away
with a co-worker
much to my dismay
baby

let’s go home
stop our roaming
let’s go home
let’s go home
stop our roaming
let’s go home

(bridge)
when we arrive home
we race to bed
so we can give each other head
we come to the conclusion
that this is the way
things are meant to always be

let’s go home
stop our roaming
let’s go home
let’s go home
stop our roaming
let’s go home

‘Good Enough’ #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

Good Enough
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

all I want to be
as you can see
is good enough
to turn your head
maybe get you in bed
is it even possible to
have such a dream

good enough
is all I want to be
good enough is my goal
good enough
good enough
good enough
is all I want to be

feeling frustrated
event as I’m prostrated
you won’t even give me a smile
when you look my way
much to my dismay
all I want to be
is good enough

good enough
is all I want to be
good enough is my goal
good enough
good enough
good enough
is all I want to be

(bridge)
one day I’ll hold you in my arms
or maybe that’s just a dream
maybe something in between
when we lay together
you’ll be all atwitter
but that’s just me letting off steam

good enough
is all I want to be
good enough is my goal
good enough
good enough
good enough
is all I want to be

‘Sharp As Teeth’ #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

Sharp As Teeth
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

you glance tears into me
like you’re eating my heart
out of my chest
once things were different
and there was peace in the land
between you and me
that was the plan
then things changed
and here we are
with you

tearing into me
sharp as teeth
sharp as teeth
sharp as teeth
sharp as teeth

who am I to complain
when there’s bad blood in the main
between you and me I’m afraid
the red wine you’re drinking
gets me to thinking of
how you eat my heart out
and the blood spews out
’cause you’re

tearing into me
sharp as teeth
sharp as teeth
sharp as teeth
sharp as teeth

(bridge)
maybe I fret too much
and we’ll make up
the water of tears of joy
will flow and was away the blood
but I’m afraid of what is next
will you tear into me again
sharp as teeth

tearing into me
sharp as teeth
sharp as teeth
sharp as teeth
sharp as teeth

‘Can’t Stop Drinking About You’ #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

Can’t Stop Drinking About You
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

there are two things
driving me crazy
booze and women every day
day in and day out
give me pause for thought
I’m afraid
’cause I just wanna get laid
but booze is my friend
while you are out of my reach

I just can’t
stop drinking about you
drinking about you
drinking about you
no matter how hard I try
think I’m going to die

people tell me to give up
that you’re too good for me
a drunkard and a crank
but I see your legs in that dress
and I must confess I’m distressed
thoughts of the mess we would make
if you would give me a date

I just can’t
stop drinking about you
drinking about you
drinking about you
no matter how hard I try
think I’m going to die

(bridge)
I sober up
and I know
that our love is a no-go
but that doesn’t stop me
oh no
from hoping one day
we’ll hop in bed
and live in sin

I just can’t
stop drinking about you
drinking about you
drinking about you
no matter how hard I try
think I’m going to die

A Long Time Ago — #lyrics to a #pop #rock #balled

A Long Time Ago
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

it was a long time ago and
no one cares anymore
it was a long time ago
and no one cares anymore
it was a long time ago
and no one cares anymore.

I can’t help but think
think about what could have been
if I had take the right advice
believed in myself a little bit
instead of wading into the shit
but here I am
head in hand
thinking of it all

it was a long time ago and
no one cares anymore
it was a long time ago
and no one cares anymore
it was a long time ago
and no one cares anymore.

people look at me and smirk
telling me that I look like dirt
weep all you like they think
but you’re a freak to believe
anyone at all cares about those lost songs
people tell me to cheer up and grin
but all I do is wade in my past sin

it was a long time ago and
no one cares anymore
it was a long time ago
and no one cares anymore
it was a long time ago
and no one cares anymore.

(bridge)
thinking of the present
moving forward is the only way
I know the best is yet to come
and that to think otherwise is dumb
but here I am with myself
reaizing nothing will change
despite the change in age

it was a long time ago and
no one cares anymore
it was a long time ago
and no one cares anymore
it was a long time ago
and no one cares anymore.
it was a long time ago and
no one cares anymore
it was a long time ago
and no one cares anymore
it was a long time ago
and no one cares anymore.

‘New Model Army’ — #lyrics to a pop-rock ballad

I’ve used this title before to write lyrics, but I find it an interesting and useful turn of phrase, so here’s another try.

New Model Army
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

you left me alone
to fend for myself
without even a belt to wear
or a explosive vest
but I’m back and ready to fight
with an army that knows how to bite

I have a
new model army
one of my own devices
new model army
new model army
new model army
one you can’t defeat
as long as I’m on my feet

it’s no small feat I must admit
to assemble this cast
I’m ready to go out with a blast
your walls of fate are ready to fall
just like Constantinople before it wailed

I have a
new model army
one of my own devices
new model army
new model army
new model army
one you can’t defeat
as long as I’m on my feet

(bridge)
I’ll lay down my arms
and embrace you with them
if you give me the truth
for once before it’s too late
but I know you too well
that’s not going to sail
so it’s the new model army
back on the attack

I have a
new model army
one of my own devices
new model army
new model army
new model army
one you can’t defeat
as long as I’m on my feet

‘Rate Limit Exceeded’ — lyrics to a pop ballad

Rate Limit Exceeded
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

you have no limits but this one
you’re not going any further
don’t express yourself one more bit
if you don’t want to be in the shit
because you’ve exceeded
your rate limit

rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded

it’s one or the other
I’m afraid, I’m afraid
in the end you’re just not
going to get laid
but your rate limit will exceed
in ways you can not
so why not just let it drop
because you’ve exceeded
your rate limit

rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded

(bridge)
you have limits
do as you like
it will cause you
no end of delight
but in the end,
we all have to accept our sin

because you’ve exeeded
your rate limit

rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded

‘You Don’t Have To Leave’ — #lyrics to a #Pop #rock #ballad

‘you don’t have to leave’
written by @sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

I want to believe
that you don’t have to leave
here we are face to face
fighting through this disgrace
in the end no matter what
you don’t have to flee
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave

I want you in my face
a kiss would be great
but just a sneer would suffice
if that’s in the dice
you’re all I hope
and can expect
just in the end
don’t grin on your way out the door

you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave

(bridge)
the booze is too much
stay another night
’cause no matter what
we’re in it to win it
that I believe
no matter what
the outside may believe

you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave

‘Every Lie Is True’ — #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock #Ballad

“Every Lie Is True”
Please credit @sheltgarner

every lie is true
when you’re in love

there’s nothing you can do
to change the course of fate
when I’m in love with you

every lie is true
every lie is true
every lie is true
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you

can’t say it enough
I know you like it rough
but loving you ain’t easy
when every lie is the truth

every lie is true
every lie is true
every lie is true
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you

let’s skip to the part
where we make love in the dark
having you by my side
just makes me sigh
and remember that

(bridge)
the facts are the facts
and that’s no sass
I look you in the eye
knowing it’s all a lie
it’ll all come to an end
but I’m willing to sin
when every lie is true
when I’m in love with you

every lie is true
every lie is true
every lie is true
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you
