Write Me Off the Page
Liner Notes
“Write Me Off the Page” - #fawm 50/90 2024 song 34
Here’s another lyrical draft from last summer, with a literary analogy that’s a little different. I had fun writing this one. Sat down today to finish the music and everything but the bridge came together pretty quickly — which always makes me wonder if I stole the melody from another one of my songs. Hope not!
16 lyric drafts left to finish from 2023…

Lyrics
I guess it was the book launch
Where I noticed your M.O.
You’re treating me as fictional
Like we’re a scripted show
And then there came the day you
Didn’t like something I said
I’ll never fit the outline
You’ve got going in your head
You need to…
Write me off the page
Kill off my character
No deus ex etcetera this time
You lost the plot
I’m never coming back
No need to read between these simple lines
Un-happily, we’ve ended our
Short scene upon this stage
No epilogue, no afterword,
Just write me off the page.
You’re the hero of your story
But I am not your prize
Wandered to another treatment
When your ego hit the sky
You’ve resisted all the rewrites
I marked in reddest pen
Read ahead, I’ve seen enough
I know how this one ends
Go on and…
CHORUS.
Didn’t get funny enough to be humor
Never quite sexy enough to be pulp
You’ve got no genre, and literature
I hope wouldn’t feel - quite so dull
I beg you…
CHORUS
