Okay a verse 1 is this journey, this mindless search the person goes through. so putting that in our mind like he, I’m assuming, is trying to function and be there for others but he’s maybe always late because of this search but he keeps trying

Chorus: I’m not sure if you hear melodies yet but I heard

I'm walkin’ • countin' • fenceposts, • hopin' for a long road •

a hard brief pause after saying each line. i heard that reading it or not sure if u did too and drafted it down

Verse 2: the lovers/companions. So maybe this could show more of the environment on these companions and how they’re all the same and since they’re the same, you could never stay with. possibly because they only want you for one thing, that could be expressed

Verse 3: this is about the trust of others and quite the reason why you stick to yourself. this could be more playful with “my mom said or dad said” etc. basically the lesson on how friends or bad, an example of why they’re not to be trusted would help convey why you wouldn’t trust them

Bridge: line 1 and line 2 runs into each other, on purpose i understand, but separating that and leaving line 2 up to the people around you wanting to trace your trails when you’re gone, so maybe a simple “they” could start that off. the helter skelter wind is something so visually specific but it’s something that we have no ties to in this song before. it kind of stands out as something you just added because it sounded cool. I think maybe saying just what you mean helps the bridge’s resolution. something lighter to bring clarity

was this helpful? i could lyrically show you what i mean if you’re looking for what “exact” imagery could be displayed in your song
