Empty Pages

An ocean of blue green water

As far as the eye can see

Boats outside my window

Going nowhere just like me

I came here for inspiration

In this funky little island town

But everything's a big distraction

It really starts to slow me down

I might be wrong but my hit song

Sounds nothing like it did last night

Maybe my ink is broken

I've got some paper but my pen won't write

And I'm starring at empty pages

Starring at empty pages

Starring at empty pages

My mind is in a bar downtown

A rooster woke me up at sunrise

Oh no another sunny day

Palm trees waving out my window

Yelling come outside and play

I really need to write that chorus

But I think I'll take a walk downtown

Some lady her 4-wheel phone booth

Is just about to run me down

I wish I knew the answer

I wish I could find the rhyme

I wish had a little more music

I wish I had a lot more time

'Cause I'm starring at empty pages

Starring at empty pages

Starring at empty pages

My mind is in a bar downtown

My label is getting nervous

They wonder if I even try

They wonder if I'll meet my deadline

They wonder if the well's gone dry

They wonder if I'm really focused

They wonder what takes so long

Why does it take so many days

Just to write a 3-minute song

My friends say wait a minute

You've done pretty well so far

You wanted in the music business

Well guess what you are

But I'm starring at empty pages

Starring at empty pages

Starring at empty pages

My mind is in a bar downtown

I'm starring at empty pages

I think I'll find a bar downtown
