THE AUTHOR

I love writing lyrics. I have written more but only wanted to get what I thought were my best out. I believe in quality not quantity. I am always open to collaborating and look forward to it. Please feel free to submit your reviews. I hope these lyrics touch you in some way. [July 2006]

You Drive Me Out Of My Mind Jonathon Brannon
1st Verse:
I’m no skater boy and you’re Avril Lavigne
You’re so cool and I don’t even know what that means
You drive Mercedes-Benz and I’m content with my Ford
Starbuck’s is your second home, adjacent to the bookstore
You gotta have your soaps and I love my football
I just want a piece of the pie, but you gotta have it all
Chorus:
But I couldn’t see myself with anyone else
I wouldn’t even waste my time
It’s a fact that opposites attract
We always seem to do just fine
You drive me out of my mind
2nd Verse:
You listen to pop music and I love my rock n’ roll
I find Jay Leno funny and you worship American Idol
Fast food’s ok with me, but you like dinner by candlelight
You watch romance movies, I watch horror at night
You yell at me for leaving the toilet seat up
I just start to laugh, then quickly shut up
Chorus:
But I couldn’t see myself with anyone else
I wouldn’t even waste my time
It’s a fact that opposites attract
We always seem to do just fine
You drive me out of my mind
Bridge:
Yeah we’re a match made in Heaven
Like Slurpees and 7-Eleven
Though you like the shoes and handbag analogy
You could take me to the opera and there’s no place I’d rather be
Chorus
I couldn’t see myself with anyone else
I wouldn’t even waste my time
It’s a fact that opposites attract
We always seem to do just fine
You drive me out of my mind

"Thank you to everyone who has left feedback of my songs. I really do appreciate it. Good or bad. I don't write as much as I would like to, but when a song comes to mind, I have to sit down and write. I am currently writing a couple of more songs that I hope to have completed and posted here within the next couple of weeks. Just thought i'd throw the titles out there..."I Breathe Again" which I started writing but got sidetracked with other songs. I have the first verse and the bridge done already, I just need the second verse and that will be complete. I already have something in mind for that verse. The song is about overcoming the negatives that life can bring. Whether it's from a broken home or a serious illness. To be stronger and happier with life because of it...This next song, I have the concept for and basically the chorus. It's titled "I Fall Down". Basically about someone doing the things that hurt the ones who love them. Everytime they try to do right, they always seem to end up hurting others. Coming to realize this and asking for forgiveness...The next two songs are about getting the most out of life. Going for your dreams. Making sacrifices, that maybe sometimes at the beginning people don't understand and think that leaving the life that you have behind to pursue some far fetched dream is being selfish. The song that deals with this the most is titled "Forgive Me (If I Seem A Little Greedy)" And what the hell, i'll give ya a little taste of the chorus here, even I don't like posting my songs until I am finished with the final product...Here's the chorus.... So forgive me if I seem a little greedy I just want it, gotta have it all for me The sun, the moon, the stars Yeah that's where those dreams are Gotta catch Haley's Comet before it gets away from me So forgive me if I seem a little greedy...... The other song titled "I Wanna Be" is about living life to the fulliest, recognizing mistakes and wanting to make a change and be the person that your loved ones see in you.. I love the concept of this song I have in my head and I will give you a taste of the chorus here as well to give you an idea as to where i'm going with this one.... Chrous: I wanna be the hero my son envisions Give more than i've been givin' And take back every hurtful thing i've said I wanna be the change in someone's life Grow old in love with my wife And be happier than i've ever been Out of all the things This means the most to me Oh, I wanna be...... I look forward to getting these songs done and having them posted here for everyone to read...I hope you liked the two little previews of the choruses I gave....Again thanks to everyone who has left feedback and to everyone who hasn't. I just hope you enjoyed them and look forward to more from me..I am glad to see that some of these songs (especially You Drive Me Out Of My Mind) has stuck with some people and can relate. That's what music is about and that's what I like writng.....Until next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!" -- Jonathon, CA.
"so many can relate to this writting, jonathon you really know how to make people feel things. your writtings are strong and real, and i just loved the 2nd verse it had me rotf! good to have a little love back in writting i love how you keep it positive...rather realistic!:)" -- de, ca, us.
