a table with a view
high on the roof
dinner for two
a table with you
is all i really need
a table with a view
of your office below
i reflect in the windows
and you still don't know
at happy hour you're all i see
my work wife
is doin' overtime
put in them hours
and i don't know why
you're not yet by my side
come play hooky with me
you've got a seat
right next to me
come play hooky with me
you've got a seat
now when are you free?
i'm over the moon
hiding away
but she's coming soon
with a swoon and a sway
as the sun
sings good night
she'll raise her sleepy head
while the city
still shines bright
prismatic lagoon
crystallized sky
from my rooftop saloon
I watch her float by
for a moment in time
I let slip/ my lines
as I allow my eyes
to be filled by her light
Clear your calendar, it's time that we go out again.
Just you and me spending some quality time.
Dinner on the terrace, it is just a dime.
Sorry it's been a while since I listened to your problems...
It's not your fault that lately life hasn't been great..
So let me apologize with this special date.
We can order wine while you whine about those quirks of mine.
Perhaps the fish as a starting dish, or if you wish
We'll have a fondue for two for I am very fond of you.
Some ice cream too while I scream how much I love you.
The time is right we're now alone in this beautiful place.
Tell me everything about your day, your week.
Or I'll tell you about mine if that's what you seek.
Watching you and hearing you speak about your interests in nice.
There's no place I rather be but here.
So come closer and I'll kiss you, dear.

"Me and my bae are living the best life right now. Beautiful views, amazing music, it's so chill. Excuse me, could i get another Strawberry Daiquiri please?"
I'm not sure what brand of house this is, but it's very much a chillout kind of house. For the most part it's 2 chords, played in a very open way, resulting in some calming sort of uplifting chords that essentially carry throughout, for a essentially 2 bar loop. This is complimented though by a very funky bassline, a 303 like synth, and an array of vibraphones and other mallet goodies, to keep it from being very repetitive, which this track is, but not in a bad way. If you think of Tech House or any other DJ mix for that matter, the tracks that they play can often be just one to two bar phrases, that are done very well. My track is really building from that but in a chill way. It's the kind of free-flowing chill track that is just perfect for sipping cocktails to. Hope you enjoy!
In pursuit of the sky, we cost the horizon.
Why does it all feel so slow?
I’ve made it big
On the rooftop of my luxury penthouse
Worry not, I’ve got it all
Built on the back of of the legal minimum wage
I can sit back and relax
Making decisions that rely on my intuition and my ability to lead
I’m a guy who’s got it all
Kicking back in the sunset
I’m the guy who’s got it all
Crypto and chains
I’m the guy who’s got it all
Buying the labor
I’m a guy who’s got it all
Singing my praises from the rooftops
what a nice day viewing the city from my loungey lounge i hope the construction outside doesn't get loud or anything
a stuffed monkey to keep her company
got started late, oh well
Ugh cringe. The chorus's lyrics are decent at least. I have never sang in this register and I'm surprised it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, though it's still pretty bad. This is also only the second song I've got vocals on!
I know it's hard sometimes to be alive
When you've been left down and left behind
I get lost in my head
I get trapped inside
But with every day comes a new sunrirse
When life doesn't give you what you need
You can always lean on me
I don't know what's ahead but we can wait and see
You can always lean on me
