She's got a golden smile
She put a golden picture in my mind
and I'm wondering if I should let her try
'cause she takes a while
and I'm impatient all the time
makes me wondering if I've been doing it right
Will she ever lie here next to me at night

Just last night she asked me out
then I won't hear from her all day
She'll be leaving me in doubt
ain't too sure what I should say

Keep my expectations low
Should I worry not too much
Or should I just let her know
that all I've been thinking of 's her

Golden smile
and her golden picture in my mind
and I'm wondering if I should let her try
'cause she takes a while
and I'm impatient all the time
makes me wondering if I've been doing it right
Will she ever lie here next to me at night

Sometimes she treats me like a friend
then she says I make her blush
Am I just a bit too eager
she knows how to make me laugh

She says she likes me, is convinced
but I don't know how to read her
Hope she's really into me
because I can't wait to meet her

Golden smile
And a golden picture in my mind
and I'm wondering if I should let her try
'cause she takes a while
and I'm impatient all the time
makes me wondering if I've been doing it right
Will she ever lie here next to me at night

She takes it slow and way too easy
But I don't know if it's to tease me
Can't make her out, it's often hazy
Her eggs and baskets drive me crazy!

She's got a golden smile
She put a golden picture in my mind
and I'm wondering if I should let her try
'cause she takes a while
and I'm impatient all the time
makes me wondering if I've been doing it right
Will she ever lie here next to me at night?

At night?
At night?
At night?

MOTIVATION

I'd been Apping a girl for a few weeks now, but communication was slow beyond belief. I'd get about 3 Apps a day, which was a really strange concept to me. Surely if you're interested in someone you'd be all over him/her? I certainly was, so I wound up sending a lot more messages to her, than she did to me. I do think she liked them though, because eventually she was the one who asked me out on a date.

I remember saying to someone that if I feel like writing a song for someone, this someone might be one that could work out. A week before we actually went out, I wrote this one. I didn't know much about her, there weren't many pictures though I'd found some on her Facebook after she claimed hers was so hidden no one could find it. After a bit of Googling I was off, and got a bit of an idea as to what she was like. I found a couple more pictures, one of her smiling and with me wondering what she was like, the chorus was born. The melody is based around a very simple rock song chord scheme, but I'd never used it before so why not try it now?

By the time we were about to go out, I was really trying to get this song finished. Rushing the chordwork, rushing the lead guitar, and then rushing the vocals. During recording, I changed the melody line several times, and by the time I was to record the melody I liked, my voice didn't work with me. She then cancelled the next day, saying she was ill with the flu or something like it, and I grabbed my chance to re-record it. I send it out the next day, telling her not to feel guilty, and as a response I finally got some real excitement out of her. I think she was genuinely impressed, despite it being a rather simplistic song.

EXPLANATION

Eggs and baskets was a term she used to describe the feeling of not wanting to give away everything that she was, and not to be too hopeful about everything even before we'd met.

The taking it slow part refers to her really, really taking her time with mailing and Apping back to me, and me not being able to figure out if it actually was to tease me, or if she really was just terribly slow. On top of that I was rather impatient, or as a matter of fact, I just am impatient. It didn't help matters much either.

The entire song was a bit tongue in cheek with a bit of truth blend into it. Most of what comes from the verses are things she said on WhatsApp. I've always cringed a bit because of the "Will she ever lie here next to me at night?" It's so terribly cheesy and corny, but I liked the thought behind it. If I'd have had more time I might have tried to make it more subtle, but this was good for what it was.
