It Was A Sunday...

I really didn't know how hard this was going to be, until I sat down, well, not even sat, I was cleaning, and thought about what I was going to write. And I had no clue. I really had never purposely sat down and had to write a poem/song and couldn't sleep until I wrote it. Not that I slept after I finished. I had a wonderful panic attack and couldn't fall asleep til about six in the morning. It was awesome.

But really, not more on the panic attack, more on the writing. Usually my writing is spontaneous and I have nice ideas. This one, I was really confused and had no clue. But it actually worked out pretty awesome, at least I think. Now, remember, this is the first time I'm letting my writing really be read.

I had thought up a ton of quirky, funny things to say, but sadly, I'm not in the mood for that. Song time! I got the idea that I'm never really the one who does life. I watch it. Thus, the Passenger Seat.


It was a Sunday when I saw you lookin' at me
It was a Sunday when I looked in your eyes
It was a Sunday when you walked right past me
It was a Sunday when I went home & cried.

I should've known, I should've listened
To the voice inside me
You're not the girl who catches the prince
I'm just the girl who tries

So I guess I'm not the girl that you're falling for
And I guess I'm not the girl in your dreams
I guess I'm not the girl that's caught your eye
But I guess I'm just the girl, hoping it was me.

It was a Tuesday when I touched you & felt sparks
It was a Tuesday when I knew it was real
It was a Tuesday when you left with your girl
It was a Tuesday when I felt the fool

I didn't forget, I definitely knew
It wasn't gonna be me
You're not the girl with the happy ending
I'm just the girl, ever after.

So I guess I'm not the girl you've fallen for
And I guess I'm not the girl of your dreams
I guess I'm not the girl who's caught your eye
I guess I'm just the girl, hoping it was me.

It was a Sunday
It was a Monday
It was the one day
It was every day

It was a Tuesday
It was a Wednesday
It was a sad day
It was every day

It was a Thursday
It was a Friday
It was a long day
It was the day
I wanted you
Oh, the day I wanted you

So I guess I'm not the girl you've fallen for
And I guess I'm not the girl in your dreams
I guess I'm not the girl who's caught your eye
But I guess I'm just the girl, hoping it was me
I guess I'm just the girl, hoping it was me.
