The Kind of Life I Wanna Live
The Kind of Life I Wanna Live - Screen Recording.mp4This song is meant to be a nice wholesome about a nice life with family and friends. Funny enough, I thought up some of the beginning lyrics and tune one day while eating at the dinner table, just as is referenced in the second verse of the song. This is the first pop song I wrote entirely on my own, albeit with a bit of input on the lyrics from some friends.
That's the kind of life I wanna live.

The Kind of Life I Wanna Live.pdfLyrics:
[Verse 1]
Ooo, every day,
Here, livin’ the life
Got my friends on the left
And my girl (guy) on the right
Crackin’ jokes and the
Pranks and the laughs
All the fun things we do
We do ‘em on our behalf
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I’m not saying
We’re the best people out there
We’re not the richest
No, we aren’t the most fair
But if we gotta have a fight
Or gotta grieve
We all got each other
So long as we believe
[Chorus 1]
And that’s the kind of life
I wanna live
The kind where nobody
Leaves me in the fray
That’s the kind of life
I wanna live
The kind where everyone I like
Is here to stay
The people worth far more than
Gold to me
The people who’ll
Always care
That’s the life with whom
I wanna live, oh
That’s the kind of life
I wanna live
[Verse 2]
Here we got the family
At the dinner table
Helpin’ out setting up cause
Right now we’re all able
And if one of us
Makes a mess
Just gotta take care of it
And help with the rest
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And we’ll consider each other
Share with one another
Like a sister, father
Mother or brother
Cause we know that it’s
Love that binds us
A love that we all want
To last forever
[Chorus 2]
And that’s the kind of life
I wanna live
The kind where nobody
Leaves me in the fray
That’s the kind of life
I wanna live
The kind where everyone I like
Is here to stay
The people worth far more than
Gold to me
The people who’ll
Always care
That’s the life with whom
I wanna live, oh
That’s the kind of life
I wanna live
[Bridge]
And when I’m spotted acting weird
with my friends
Oh, surely they’ll understand
And when they see the habits
Of my personality
They’ll know that’s just who I am
Because my friends all trust me, my
Family loves me
And just like I want for them
They want me to be happy
[Final Chorus]
That’s the kind of life
I wanna live
The kind where nobody
Leaves me in the fray
That’s the kind of life
I wanna live
The kind where everyone I love
Is here to stay
The people worth far more than
Gold to me
The people who’ll
Always care
That’s the life with whom
I wanna live, oh
That’s the kind of life
I wanna live
That’s the kind of life
I wanna live
The life I wanna live
