about

Poetic was conceived in my home studio before taking it into the recording studio to polish, mix, and master. I was riffing on the piano as the story line of the song emerged in my head. It’s an age-old tale told in my own unique musical and lyrical style. It’s a story of beauty and attraction tensioned by a crossroads decision between the material and superficial vs a more fulfilling life alongside a loyal soulmate. The contrasts are highlighted by camera flashes at the beginning transitioning to birds chirping at the end.

lyrics

Verse 1

People always say that your looks are fine
Your mind is right
But our minds are tied
So don’t go runnin’ when you think you’re fine
She doesn’t know what I know she wants
Money, fame, and all the above
Cliché it’s all what she wants though
Followin’ a life of lies

Hook 1

Tell me if you want to live somethin’ new
Somethin’ good
Somethin’ pure for this whole wide world
Cuz you’re so poetic
You’re so poetic (whoa)
You’re so poetic
You’re so poetic (uh)
Until your life is fine
Got my body with you
Hold me close tonight, this is
Somethin’ I don’t want to flush away
[Somethin’ I don’t want to flush away, yeah]
[Somethin’ I don’t want to flush away, yeah oh]

Verse 2

I was shakin’ cold on that floor last night (Oh no oh yeah)
Your thoughts got settled in and so did mine (oh)
So much pressure on my name
Get caught up in all this pain
Can’t you see that all our jealousy is building

Hook 2

Tell me if you want to live somethin’ new
Somethin’ good
Somethin’ pure for this whole wide world
Cuz you’re so poetic
You’re so poetic (whoa)
You’re so poetic
You’re so poetic (uh)
Until your life is fine
Got my body with you
Hold me close tonight, this is
Somethin’ I don’t want to flush away

Hook 3

Somethin’ new
Somethin’ good
Somethin’ pure for this whole wide world

Cuz you’re so poetic
You’re so poetic (whoa)
You’re so poetic
You’re so poetic (uh)
Until your life is fine
Got my body with you
Hold me close tonight, this is
Somethin’ I don’t want to flush away

Bridge

Pray for wisdom for me and my love
Walking to the jury to the judge
Expect my forgiveness



[You’re so poetic uh]
[You’re so poetic]

Outro

You’re so poetic (hm)
You’re so poetic
So Poetic, oh yeah
So Poetic Oh Yeah
(oh yeah)
You’re so poetic (uh)
You’re so poetic (uh)
You’re so poetic (uh)
You’re so poetic (uh)
