Write About You
Echoes of Heartbreak: Ryan Kolek's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
You can tell I'm a long way off from where I figure I might ought to be
The speaker acknowledges being far from where they expected to be in life.
Give me a one way ticket on to nowhere to fix it and a guitar for company
Expresses a desire for a one-way escape, accompanied by a guitar, to address personal issues.
I just might write a few lines about heartbreak and all the other pain I've been through
Contemplating writing about heartbreak and pain experienced in life.
But it just won't do me no good to write about you
Realizes that writing about a specific person (possibly a past relationship) won't bring any benefit.
Oh I'd love to pick out a good strong melody and pair it with the good times I've had
Expresses a wish to create music that reflects positive experiences.
And would it be a crime if I slowed it down and really made you feel my sad
Considers slowing down the music to convey deep emotions, especially sadness.
Then maybe again you'd appreciate it more when I kick it up a notch or two
Suggests that the audience may appreciate the music more when the intensity is increased.
But all things considered, only thing I'd end up with's another sad song about you
Despite considerations, expects to end up writing another sad song about the same person.
Yeah that whiskey in the cabinet's done lied to me enough telling me it might end up Okay
Reflects on the deceptive nature of whiskey and its false promises of making things okay.
To dig up what's already long since buried and give common sense a break
Contemplates revisiting past issues and taking a break from common sense.
But the words that spill on the page in the notebook, that I wrote when I've had more Than a few
The words written under the influence make more sense the less they seem logical, especially about the person in question.
The more they don't make sense, the more you know they're right about you
Emphasizes that nonsensical words might accurately capture the emotions tied to the person.
Oh I'd love to pick out a good strong melody and pair it with the good times I've had
Reiterates the desire to create uplifting music from positive experiences.
And would it be a crime if I slowed it down and really made you feel my sad
Considers slowing down the music to make the audience truly feel the speaker's sadness.
Then maybe again you'd appreciate it more when I kick it up a notch or two
Suggests intensifying the music to enhance appreciation, even though it may result in another sad song about the person.
But all things considered, only thing I'd end up with's another sad song about you, yeah
Despite considerations, expects to end up writing another sad song about the same person.
But all of the memories where I couldn't seem to please you
Reflects on memories of being unable to please the person in question.
I just can't get out of my head
The speaker is haunted by memories of the times when the person was dissatisfied.
All the times you lied to me, it's burning inside of me
The lies told by the person cause internal turmoil and pain for the speaker.
We'd be better off if you left
Suggests that the speaker believes life would be better without the person.
Cause I just want to pick out a good strong melody and pair it with the good times I've Had
Expresses the desire to create positive music from good experiences.
And would it be a crime if I slowed it down and really made you feel my sad

Then maybe again you'd appreciate it more when I kick it up a notch or two

Yeah you're all gone forever, never hate being right, but I hated being right about you
Reflects on the realization of being right about the negative aspects of the person, despite not enjoying the accuracy of this insight.
