Cracks in the Sidewalk
by glennny

Intro in 4/4

Verse One in 5/8
You’ve said everything you wanted to say
The question is now what you’ll do
I know what you think, you’ve made it quite clear
Can you stick to your guns and follow through?

Pre-Chorus One in 11/8
Part of you and part of me
Damaged beyond reckoning
(you) Can’t believe all that you see
Honest got editing

Chorus in 4/4
You freeze me out
Then we heat up again
We’re a sidewalk full of cracks
Are we lovers or friends?

Verse Two in 5/8
I’d do anything to make it all right
Intensions were always true blue
Here we go again, with the greatest hits
Are we stuck in a crazy doom loop?

Pre-Chorus Two in 11/8
We gotta live and gotta give
listen to what I mean
Never mind the expletives
cycles become maddening

Chorus in 4/4
You freeze me out
Then we heat up again
We’re a sidewalk full of cracks
Are we lovers or friends?

Bridge in 9/8
Please dear remember
I’m trying my best
Expansion, contraction
Am I passing this test?

Solo in ⅝ then in 11/8

Double Chorus in 4/4
You freeze me out
Then we heat up again
We’re a sidewalk full of cracks
Are we lovers or friends?

5/8 and others. very ambitious meters and textures but it feels like an awkward assembly of disparate parts, a bit forced. love the ending.
