Just for Tonight (2021 Watty's Winner)

Songs

Hello! I just hit 150k reads and it's seriously just making me so happy.

It means the world to me so see such a positive response to this book. I never could have guessed my book would be doing this well. Seriously, it means so much to me to see people loving Scarlett and Nate's story so much.

As a bit of a thank you, I wanted to post all of the songs I wrote for the book! Obviously, they're not every song on his album seeing as there are like sixteen songs, but here are some. I'm not a songwriter, so go easy on me, but I figured it would be fun for you guys to see more of the music from Nate. They're not full songs, just snippets.

I also added ones you haven't seen before that I didn't write into the book. Let me know which are your favorites!

Hope you enjoy and thank you again!

Don't Let it Be Never:

Clocks move onwards but,
we can't be bothered, no
Won't stop searching and
our love is burning now
Watch as you walk away, oh,
you know what they say—

They say that it's now or never
Though it can't be now,
don't let it be never

Until Eternity

And now here I stand,
wishing you'd just come back
Too much was left unsaid,
the words echoing in my head—
your memory does not escape me

But now to bring you home,
all the odds leave me alone
And the ghost of your face
lingers in this empty space with me
And so I'll look for you until eternity

Just For Tonight:

Oh baby,
Just for tonight
You are, all I see
And when you're-
standing there, oh baby
Just for tonight,
you are mine

Be My Reality:

How will I know if it's all just a dream?
Will I wake up from this fantasy?
What if you're gone and it's all on me?
Will you please be my reality?

Dad:

I said, 'Dad you don't gotta drive
right now, I promise I'll be all right',
He said, 'Honey, for you, I would
drive all night',
I waited at the road,
with a lump stuck in my throat
Saw Mom pull her car up to the lawn,
and I knew you were gone

I couldn't say goodbye
So, all I can do is ask myself 'Why?'
Now time feels like it's stalling,
and I'm falling, now I'm falling

Oh, you dropped everything, on a dime
God, would it be a crime,
to go back in time, to that night,
and tell you to wait 'til morning light?

Other Side of the Stars:

Just two souls,
making each other whole
Wishing their night would replay
Cursing at the moon,
for drifting away
with no care in the world

A vow desperate to break,
but would that be a mistake?

It don't matter tonight,
I see only you in the moonlight,
everything will be all right
with you by my side

Forget about the past
this night won't last
and I will see you
on the other side
of the stars, stars, stars

Being With You:

The stars in your eyes, glow like gold
Together, we can grow old
Cloudy eyes, and spotted hands,
let's do everything we have planned

The constellation of your smile,
makes all this worthwhile
What if we stole all the stars from the sky,
then, would you be mine?

We could rearrange them to finally
get our story right
No one to tell us to just say goodnight
Without you, I feel so alone,
being with you feels like the stars
guiding me home

Tell Them:

So tell them, tell them
That it hurts, to walk away
I wish I'd turned around
every day
and see you there,
waiting for me
Oh baby please,
come back to me
Just tell them, tell them
that you're coming home

She's The:

She's the story you've never heard
The moral you never learn
The book you never read
Or, perhaps you were misled
She's the code you just can't break
But make no mistake,
With this, I am sure
You'd do anything to make her yours

Sweetheart, Dance With Me:

Just give me your hand,
I'll spin you around me
Though this night was unplanned,
There's nowhere I'd rather be
My perfect melody
Oh, baby, stay with me
Keep on dancing, we'll make
this song last forever
Let's go sweetheart, no surrender

Loud Love With A Quiet Sound:

Our love echoed through the streets,
but sounded like a silent scream
Brutally and utterly unheard
It was just us
Us against the world
Us against time
Us with our loud love
that made nothing but a quiet sound

Wanna Cut to the Chase:

Gonna hit the ground running,
don't care if I fall, don't care if I'm rushing
I don't wanna waste any more time,
can't go any longer
I need to make you mine
Baby, I don't think I can wait
Let's stop playing pretend
Make time skip ahead
Need to be face to face
Let's just cut to the chase
