I Know A Woman With A Two-Hearted Soul

I wrote a new song today, it's called "I Know A Woman With A Two-Hearted Soul"
Here's the youtube and the lyrics:



(edit: just in case the video doesn't load properly, as embedded videos are known to do, just click here to watch it on youtube's own site.)

Now, I know a woman with a two-hearted soul
There’s one that I love and there’s one I can’t know
And she paces her room before she lays in her bed
While she waits for the music to stop in her head
But it doesn’t
She don’t let it

Now, I’ve got my lovers and she’s got hers too
Filling faded old yearbooks of heart-shaped tattoos
But when she looks at me through those eyes big as moons
I can almost forget my old ways and old wounds
And I wonder
Can she?

Now, she told me, honey, the future’s unsure
I said babe, don’t you know what the present is for?
And I try to be brave when she gets up to leave
But I’m never discreet about the hearts up my sleeve
So I ask her
To stay

Now, I know a woman with a two-hearted soul
There’s one that I love and there’s one I can’t know
And I pace round my room before I lay in my bed
While I wait for the music to stop in my head
But it doesn’t
She don’t let it

Your thoughts?

I really like this.

Side note, it's really good to see you're writing. And I love the band name.

Steph: I don't know what happened or why, but I was stuck in a full-on DROUGHT for over a year...maybe I've been jostled into a manic state?
