Wishing I were a songwriter...

So I have always longed to be able to write songs and to put them together with music but it has just never been anything that I have been able to do and in times like this it would be nice. Everyone gets into those situations or moods that only a song can describe...whether its an original composition of your own or a song that already explains how you are feeling. I just wish that I could sit down at a piano and do this myself instead of having to search for a song that already exists......
But enough blah blah blah-here is the song that actually does a good job of putting into words how I feel at the moment...and by just reading the song you will be able to tell how I feel...

Words fall out of my mouth
And I can't seem to trace what I'm sayin'
Everybody wants your time
I'm just dreamin' out loud
I can't have you for mine and I know it
I just wanna watch you shine
Trippin' up on my tongue
It's all over my face and I'm racin'
Got to get away from here
Burnin' all the way home
Tryin' to put it to bed but it chases
Every little thing I do

When the light falls on your face
Don't let it change you
When the stars get in your eyes
Don't let it blind you

You're beautiful
Just the way you are
And I love it all
Every line and every scar
And I wish that I could make you see
This is where you ought to be
Come Down To Me

Spell it out in a song
Bet you'll never catch on to my weakness
I'm singin' every word for you
Here I'm thinkin' I'm sly
Then you're catchin' my eye and just maybe
You're thinkin' what I'm thinkin' too

When you see it on my face
Don't let it shake you
I know better than to try and take you with me

You're beautiful
Just the way you are
And I love it all
Evey line and every scar
And I wish that I could make you see
This is where you ought to be
Come Down To Me
