Song Tennis!

So my friend and I like to write songs using the "song tennis" technique, as we like to call it, where I say a line, and then he says a line and so on. This is the latest done by us like that

I wrote the first line, then him, etc.

People are always saying to take it day by day

taking it one way or another is fair play

But I don't know how much more I can take

Because just a little makes my heart start to break

with all this confusion it's hard to know what's best

Its like so many doors all close and I must pass this test

but this test has no end, and I don't know what it's for

We can find out together and even the score\

will you help me get through today

if not all my tomorrows they slip away

and will you help me cope with this pass or fail

I can't go out on a limb or I may bail

I don't want promises or fairy tales

all those things just get so old

I need to feel important to something [someone?]

No reason to live life when you can't have fun

so let's take this one step at a time

this would make a decent sone except they all rhyme

and since this heart's still got a million beats to give

I can't die today I'll live

I won't die so today I'll love

I just need a kiss not a shove

Some TLC, no more of this exclusion

no more pipe dreams and illusions

So let's sing this song as life goes on

Together yes, Dana and John
