Hi, all,

So after my first MP3 post, I learned I needed to figure out how to lay tracks. So, it's early on in my education, but at least the vocals and guitar work are on separate tracks on this effort. I'm going to enlist a friend to lay down some bass--and then have to think about percussion. Can't figure out how to make the GarageBand drummer do anything I want it to.

It's a simple song, nothing profound, and bottom line, it's raw. Final caveat, the lyrics are in flux--won't say what specifically bugs me because I'd like to see if what bugs me bugs you. So all in all, a rough cut, but wanted to share before I spend too much time on it.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts. You are all so kind with your suggestions.

Please Come Home

(V) Up all night replaying every scene—
can’t believe that I could be that mean.
I got too drunk and then my big fat mouth
opened up and the words came out.

(PC) I could tell by the light in her blue eyes,
almost hear her heart just break.
I’d like to say it’s OK but I won’t lie—
it’s not my first mistake.

(C) So I’m hoping that she knows I’m sorry.
I’m hoping she picks up the phone.
I’m hoping I can hold her tomorrow,
because I ain’t no good alone.
I’m begging baby, please come home.

(V) We were kids when we first met—
and there’s so many things I still don’t get.
All her friends and her family
they swear up and down she’s just too good for me.

(PC) And all the times I thought they were all right—
that she would leave like they said she would.
But all the million times I’ve screwed up,
she’s always understood.

(C) So I’m hoping that she knows I’m sorry.
I’m hoping she picks up the phone.
I’m hoping I can hold her tomorrow,
because she’s all I’ve ever known.
I’m begging baby, please come home.

(B) I get there are ugly words
in this world you can’t erase.
But I wanna hold her in my arms.
I want to tell her I can change.

(C) So I’m hoping that she knows I’m sorry.
I’m hoping she picks up the phone.
I’m hoping I can tell her I love her
because she can’t be really gone.
I’m begging baby, please come home.
I’m begging baby, please come home.
