Mattie Rocks: My World Rocks Like This

Normally this wouldn’t qualify as a huge accomplishment, but it’s been so f-ing long since I actually wrote even half a song, that I’m going to go ahead and post what I’ve got so far. But first… the background!

I’ve always admired people who can look at a situation from the outside and then write a song based on what they thought the people might be thinking/feeling. I figured I’d give it a shot. So no, this is not based on my love life, but rather, someone else entirely!

Everything
Words and Music (c) Mattie 2007

I can’t wait another day
To tell you how I feel
And put it all
In your hands

I can’t listen to them all
Tell me not to try
Wanna know
Where I stand

Try to stop
Got to breathe
Try to find the right time
To tell you
You’re all
I want

And this is everything
You are everything
I can’t live with myself
If I live without this
And this is everything
Everything to me
