Not if I See You First
Robert James
This one is a little weird. I had just minutes before written most of a song called “Not in this Lifetime” and was putzing around on the internet. I went to songfight.org and saw that the current week’s line was “not if I see you first”. Well that sounded like something I could use. My first thought was to work it into “Not in this Lifetime” but I sort of had an idea where that one needed to go so I decided to start something new.
This is that second song. I didn’t consciously write something just like “Not in this Lifetime” but that is exactly what I ended up with. The two songs are similar enough to be interchangeable. I am considering making it a medley when I piece together the final RPM Challenge CD.
Oh, and I didn’t finish it in time to submit it to songfight, so I have still never pulled one of those off.
you won’t see me (not if I see you first)
you won’t see me (not if I see you first)
you won’t see me (not if I see you first)
you won’t see me (not if I see you first)
A bad penny always turns up
unwanted fit for a snub
Just forget it leave me alone
I don’t want you just go home
I don’t want you want you around
disappear go hide in the ground
bridges burned and buried alive
nothing left here nothing survived
Dead to me, you’re dead to me
