26th Failed Attempt

David Marcouillier

A song about the futility of trying to really express yourself…especially to someone you want to impress…

26th Failed Attempt:

When I sat down here tonight and I decided I would write
a love song to explain to you why I feel the way I do
all my words came out all wrong the first 25 times that I tried
and the papers all hit the floor before the ink had time to dry.

And I still don’t have it down the way I want for it to sound.
The melody is just alright but still I kind of like the tune.
No it’ll never sell a million, babe, but it’s the best that I can do
so here’s my 26th failed attempt to write a love song for you:

I love your hair
and I love your eyes.
Most of all I love myself
down between your thighs.
Everything about you
and everything that you do
just makes me fall repeatedly in love
with you…
