3 new song ideas (videos, lyrics)

**What follows are three rough recordings of songs I wrote. Looking to record them at some point perhaps fully fleshed out with instrumentation and produced. Vocals are just scratch/ "idea vocals" for now. Only god can judge me. Actually, only two are really new. "58" has been sitting around for a while, but I think it fits with the other two somehow.** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHHbwhhbDxI Sign of the Times (Love You Forever) I've been waitin' outside for 5 hours just to tell you how I feel everything feels so unreal All them jokes that you played at the expense of my whole day No one's laughin' now but you You don't seem to know what to do But I found something walking on the beach Little piece of something that nobody can reach glowing white shell, it's a sign of the times I put it in my pocket and I lost my mind It said: "I'm gonna love you forever" I'm gonna love you forever If you wanna go well just say so there's no need to play dumb with me I'm not gonna go where I don't wanna go I guess that's all that you need to see but I found something walking on the beach And I guess now, well here we are you made some excuse about your car I don't buy it, I don't care next time I won't be there *** https://youtu.be/nuAnQN_9gKw 58 Got a 58 on the TV show all I got are peppermints with me now to fight a hangover and the poison interject that keeps screamin' out Well I was sober as a judge but I was stutterin' now I'm on the piss my lips are flutterin' but it's covering some kind of weird desperation inside some kinda weird desperation inside, I said: No more broken promises No more stupid resolutions No more puttin' that foot over the brakes And no more nooses Now I'm at the desk I'm back again lookin' for something to give me a smack again nothin's really there that I can depend on nothin's really there that I can depend on No more broken promises No more New Year's resolutions I'm takin' my foot off the brakes my friend Yeah and no more nooses I'm not sure when you got this idea that everyone should change and you should stay the same forever I'm not sure where you got this idea but it's over now, over now Starin' at the sky again today it's blue and I feel okay I'm not really sure what's happened man But I put one foot in front of the other and I say: No more broken promises No more resolutions No more puttin' that foot across the brakes Yeah and no more nooses No more broken promises No more stupid resolution No more puttin' my foot on the brakes And no more nooses *** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7xGmMe3Zg4 Sidewalks Shout out to Shibuya I know you think I'm past my prime I never made it through ya and you done shut off your lights (now who's the fuddy-duddy!?) Goodbye to Chicago I was way too ashamed to feel the pulse wracked with guilt and Lakeshore was just a ghost (I couldn't make no money!) I, I wanted to be there walkin' the sidewalks Hello to Hades I know I can't get home without givin' at least one more nod to Rome (before we burn that bitch down!) I wanted to be there walkin' the sidewalks (Roman roads) And I, I wanted to be there walkin' with all my friends on the road *** **-G**
