Lyrics
“This Kinda Craziness” – Jeffrey Alan Cella (Woodstock, NY)
V1
I can never seem to meet you
And you seem to have that problem too
I’m not sure what it’s all about
Or why I even have a doubt
Friends think it’s just crazy
What is real to me is really hazy
You don’t even live that far
Yet I keep my life ajar–for you
Chorus
Have I really fallen so hard for you
Just by seein’ the things you do
Am I really feelin’ so low in love
You and I have this kinda craziness
V2
A crazy horse girl’s work is never done
But I think that we could have some fun
You’re my homegrown American girl
My very own little scruffy pearl
You’re the apple of my screen-fatigued eye
The last slice of this day-old pie
If you could only say that you would
I bet you’d clean up pretty good–for me
Chorus
Have I really fallen so hard for you
Just by seein’ the things you do
Am I really feelin’ so low in love
You and I have this kinda craziness
V3
Another TikTok of you talkin’ to your horse
Has become the daily matter of course
Whoops–there goes my phone–another ding
Cause I follow you on–well–everything
Now it’s late at night–I’m up online
Here’s a Story of you with a bottle of wine
Dancin’ ’round the kitchen all alone
From your tree-lined mobile home
Chorus
Have I really fallen so hard for you
Just by seein’ all the things you do
Am I really feelin’ so HIGH in love
You and I have this kinda craziness
You and I have this kinda craziness

Bio
I’m able to write across multiple genres.
When inspired, I feel that I am a medium of sorts; that I am channeling a song or lyric, and although the song is original, that it should exist in the world and be heard.

Comments:
The lyrics of verse 2 are amazing! They are so descriptive and really paint a picture of her and how she makes you feel.
Maybe try using the same “show don’t tell” technique earlier in the song as you clearly have the skill so can make the first verse and chorus even stronger.
