Myriah

It was summer of 05
I had 20 years alive
Myriah moved in the apartment
One eye brown and one eye green
We would cook and she would clean
And drink a little wine for excitement
Every now and then
I’d play some music for her when
She was going out with other men
She’d say she liked the melody
“Would you write a song for me?”
I didn’t tell her that I had a ten
And as the days dragged on
And the nights grew long
I told myself the time was wrong
in my little world
Running round with other girls
Cause the right words would never come
When the summer sun was strong
In the heat with nothing on
Myriah would lie before me
I’d pretend to read a book
While taking in my looks
But myriah would still ignore me
In the evenings we would talk
On occasion we would walk
Through the ‘morgan up Columbia road
She’d look me in the eye
Put her hand upon my thigh
And laugh at every joke I told
And as the days dragged on
And the nights grew long
I told myself the timing’s wrong
In my little world
Running round with other girls
Cause the right words would never come
The stars rearranged
As the weather changed
While I was busy playing stupid games
And what a foolish thing to fear
But I couldn’t bear to hear
Her say she didn’t feel the same
When the autumn came around
Myriah up and left the town
She was ready to go back home
And her father came along
Grabbed her clothes and she was gone
And it was back to my nights alone
Now she’s up in ‘rado springs
Getting a master’s in something
She called me up the other day
And I’m still sitting in the den
Writing songs and thinking when
I let her get away

shwa losben San Francisco, California
Originally hailing from Philadelphia, Shwa Losben is a Bay Area transplant whose indie-folk style has garnered comparisons
to Elliott Smith and Neil Young.
His earworm melodies and sophisticated songwriting earned him the ASCAP Robert Allen Songwriting Award.
On his upcoming release "You Would Have Loved It," Losben blends intricate stories with elements of Britpop and 90s rock.
