That's When I Start to Go Wrong

about

Wrote this for a songwriter's group where they said: within 4 weeks, write a song that has, "Trick for trying" in the lyric somewhere where you really mean it. I was just following orders. . .Nice to be freed from responsibility for all choices, at least this once.

That’s When I Start to Go Wrong
Words and Music by Michael Silverstone
©2016 Mr. Silverstone Music/ASCAP
5-10-16

I begin with good intentions
and even more that I don't mention
even I don’t know the way it goes

Love is just a trick for trying
it picks you up; it leaves you lying
Once I thought I knew it all alone
--that’s when I start to go wrong
--that’s when I start to go wrong

I'd rather take now what I’m given
I don’t have to go to heaven
I just want to not be so alone

Living takes us where we let it
Loving once you don't forget it
Once I take a seat is when I'm thrown
--that’s when I start to go wrong
--that’s when I start to go wrong

Beside you, in my mind
beside you, even now

I don’t mean to keep on going
acting like we’re both not knowing
there is nothing left for us to fight

I listen for the music playing
and listen to these words I’m saying
trying all the time to get it right
--that’s when I start to go wrong
--that’s when I start to go wrong
--that’s when
