PLAYED OUT Kaleena Cote Maybe the timing was just a bit wrong Two souls attempting to sing the same song One sang the lyrics And one kept the beat It seemed like a good song, catchy and sweet Words flowed so freely, so pure and so real Tempo stayed fluent, so easy to feel They both bobbed their heads And they both tapped their shoes Creativeness flowing, nothing to lose Like one of those songs you just cannot shake Keep hitting repeat that the disk just might break You're in your own world Memorizing the tune Not even thinking it could get old soon But two people singing must harmonize They have to work closely and realize One may be stronger And one may be shy Figuring out how to make it all fly One day they sounded a little off-key They tried to ignore it, tried not to see No longer meshed well Voices grew apart The words were no longer sung from the heart Songs are like people; adjust with the times Certain things move you like lyrical rhymes Sometimes you change though Must adjust your speed To make your life lyrics more simple to read
