about

A simple song that I hoped would depict the some of the feelings surrounding the start of a new relationship. Awkward, oft aloof and indecisive, I can’t help but find myself feeling unbalanced as I begin to fall in love. I liked the idea of keeping the verses simple, just two chords back and forth, like a steady swing on a tall tree, counterbalanced by choppy but sweet melody. The chorus introduces a strange chord just as it makes its point verbally. It’s a bit gimmicky for me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way, I think it works for this.

lyrics

Balance

I spent an awful lot of time just a-thinking about you
Going back and forth with the pros and the cons
I spent an awful long time wondering what to do
Until I made up my mind

I never knew that there was something worth fighting for
I’d rather just give it up and be left sore
I only knew what it felt like to close a door
But that was all before

Cause when it comes to loving you
I lose my balance
When it comes to loving you
That’s all I do
Oh when it comes to loving you
I lose my balance
When it comes to loving you
That’s all I do

Now I’m sitting here thinking about the way that it could be
And how I cant imagine life without you next to me
I’m falling over myself just to make you smile
And have you stay awhile

Cause when it comes to loving you
I lose my balance
When it comes to loving you
That’s all I do
Oh when it comes to loving you
I lose my balance
When it comes to loving you
That’s all I do
