I really, really wish I had a drum set, someone with a guitar and someone who would sing (female) right now to try out this crazy tune that is just stuck in my head and I've tried to put words to it.
(I'd always be there with you)
I could beg you to hold on;
(I'd always hold on to you)
But I could never tell you;
(could you never ever tell me...)
That we'd always go on;
(that we'd always go on!)
And I could take a thousand vows;
(would you promise me just one thing...)
That I would never leave you;
(that you'd stay by me forever)
But I could never tell you
(could you never see it in me...)
How much I really love you
(how much I really love you!)
And even if I feel like;
(won't you ever feel like...)
Don't pull me any closer;
(just holding me closer)
For I wanna be forever;
(don't wanna wake up ever)
In this beautiful dream tonight;
(in this beautiful dream tonight!)

It's just so weird (but totally satisfying!) to try to put words to a tune rather than the other way around.
It's impossible for me to put down exactly what cocktail of music and voices I have in my head right now but here goes -
There is a soft, moderately paced (not dragging) background of drum beats.
The guitar is going in two pitches - I'm not sure if I want to say pitches (for guitar) or scales..whatever, just two identical pieces of strumming but in 'low' and 'high' versions.
Alternate lines are male and female voices (the first one being male) and the last two lines of each stanza are sung by both together.
The male voice is in a lower and slightly (very slightly) 'sad' and sort of 'repenting' tone.
The female voice is in a higher and 'brighter in mood' tone.
And the music is a little different for all three stanzas but basically same idea!
(Try to 'sing the lines' in the first tune that comes to your head for these syllables! :-))

PS: The overall mood of the song is not 'heartbroken' or anything, it's more in a 'laughing it off' spirit, the way sometimes thoughts can be so similar yet unspoken.
