Which way do I go? What should I do? What will happen? (The theme of my twenties).

Though I had been composing and writing snippets of song lyrics for years, this was the first song I ever completely "finished." It started as a solo piano composition, and then the vocal line carved its way in and seemed to lend itself to lyrics.

Later I revamped the B section and got the timing more under control, for whatever that's worth, and if you want to see the newer version and lead sheet with full piano and vocal parts it's at my website: www.kelaparker.com.

lyrics

RELATIVE MOTION


Do I stay or go
And take my chances
When I go to speak
Something catches
If it is a circle
This is the edge
I am open and closed
Am I moving in place, moving in place

Am I sunstruck or common comfort
Leads me by the nose
Am I too late
But waiting still
Try what you got
Go broke on me
I am running, reaching
We want safety

and cheap

And I’m running
