What falling out of love feels like...

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it!
Thanks Trevor! I appreciate your feedback! Yes, I’m changing that line to “we can’t go back to the start” - the thought is as a couple, we can go back to the beginning - I will keep working on it. Keep writing, keep creating

HI Alexsi,
Nice, I think that idea will fit well. Cheers to coffee, and good luck!

I love this song and the demo! Gut-wrenchingly honest. Finding a guy or an artist that would want to admit this about himself might be difficult though. I think plenty would want to sing about somebody else doing it;) Have you tried a 3rd person version??

Thanks Vicky! Yes, you’re right…it would be tough to find a artist to take on this risky song…unless they kind of went “into character” for the song vs. the song being their personal journey. Still tough though. You’re right. I will explore a 3rd person version. Thank you! Alexsi

Hi Alexsi, I could tell that you’ve put in some time and effort into choosing your words. One thing that jumped out at me—your chorus is musically repetitious (5 lines which are all the same musically).
Best wishes with your songwriting!

Sleeping with a Stranger
Maybe I’m not the marrying kind, cuz, I’ve got a wandering heart
Sometimes it brings me back to your arms, but I can’t go back to the start
I’m sorry, I love you, I’m sorry to tell you, no matter what you say
My heart’s well-traveled, time to kick up some gravel, movin’ on is the only way
That’s the danger, you fall in love with a stranger, and give ‘em every bit of your heart
‘Til one day, blue skies fade to gray; hands of time, don’t hold ‘em the same way
Too tired of fightin’, your heart goes hidin’, and it don’t wanna be found
Will love come back around, does it always skip town; next stop, someone else, not you
That’s the danger, you’re sleeping with a stranger, nothin’ hurts more than the truth
Like a thief in the night, out our bedroom window - fly - there goes my heart
Try ‘n stop me, you still love me, but you can’t catch a thief in the dark
I’m sorry, don’t hate me; I’m sorry, don’t tell me “we’ll work it out, just stay”
My heart’s well-traveled, time to kick up some gravel, movin’ on is the only way
Repeat Chorus
Your moonlight kisses, can’t change what this is…I wish it wasn’t true
That my wandering heart’s packed up ‘n moved on…even though I’m still sleeping with you
Repeat Chorus

Hi Alexsi, nice tune! The ballad feel fits the lyric well, some beautiful melodies and great lyrics as well.
I think there’re a few spots in the lyric where the story could be clearer. The first two lines set up the lyric well, but for me a line like “I can’t go back to the start” leaves questions - maybe there’s an opportunity with a line like this to be a bit more specific?
Thanks for posting, great to hear!
