When I posted about being in a band and writing lyrics I forgot that I penned words for a song titled "Take Me Down." It's odd that I forgot about it, because it's one of my favorite songs that we recorded. The lyrics were inspired by my boyfriend at the time, MMB. Becky recently reminded me of what happened when I read the original lyrics to him. It went something like this:

ME (reading chorus): "Take me down onto the ground, kiss my lips and read the words I'm saying—"
MMB: What? That doesn't make any sense at all.
Me: Sure it does.
MMB: "Read the words I'm saying?" That's not right.
Me (muttering): See if I ever write a song for you again.
MMB: What?
Me: Nothing.

When the song was recorded, "read" was changed to "hear," which had nothing to do with MMB's opinion. No, really.

Incidentally, the line "I offer hands to soothe your skin" was inspired by Becky. =)
