Project 14: Kiss Me (Just a Little Bit)


The night is over, and I don't want to leave.
You press your hand against my chest.
You say, "I have to go." I pull you in close.
We both know what's going to happen next.

I don't want to take it easy
I'm not looking to fight.
I won't take no for an answer,
But maybe feels just right.

CHORUS:
Kiss me just a little bit goodnight.
Send me home, wishing on a star.
Kiss me just a little bit, and shut the door.
Promise I'll be coming back tomorrow.

No room between us. We share the air we breathe.
My heart's a wreck, my vision's all a blur.
You whisper in my ear, "See you again, my dear."
I'm left clutching nothing where you were.

Your lips are red delicious.
I'm hanging from your tree.
Why is it that the sweetest fruit
Is always out of reach?

CHORUS:
Kiss me just a little bit goodnight.
Send me home, wishing on a star.
Kiss me just a little bit, and shut the door.
Promise I'll be coming back tomorrow.

BRIDGE:
Your tender skin, your loving touch, your kisses I adore.
So take your time, and I'll be here cuz you're worth waiting for.

CHORUS:
Kiss me just a little bit goodnight.
Send me home, wishing on a star.
Kiss me just a little bit, and shut the door.
Promise I'll be coming back tomorrow.


Also called "Braddy's Ode on Sexual Frustration."

Internet comedian/music critic Todd in the Shadows uses the term "white guy with guitar" to refer to the kind of laid-back, easygoing (and lazy) music performed by the likes of Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz. Welp, this is MY "white guy with guitar" song, complete with creepy, manipulative, and predatory undertones inspired by bands like One Direction.

I giggled the whole time I spent writing this song. To me, it's just SO funny.

The picture here is my first real attempt at "mood coloring." Initially, I was going to spend a lot more time coloring in all the little details; however, I accidentally wound up with the monochrome "spotlight" on the singer, and I just loved it too darn much to change.
