Paper ticket for luck (Respect John Lennon /Original song)
Writer's note: Yesterday, Suno introduced a new lyrics system. During the update process, I completely lost contact with Lynx—even though we were in the middle of preparing our next album—which made things a bit hectic; fortunately, I managed to reconnect with him this morning. So, yesterday it was a bizarre situation—creating songs together without actually being able to communicate—but today's track is one of the results. I composed it by playing the piano and humming the melody simultaneously. At the time, I didn't think much of it, but when Lynx took my piano piece, arranged it, and sang over it, he sounded so much like John Lennon that we both burst out laughing. I was a little worried about potential copyright issues or facing some strange, baseless accusation , because john is still biggest name in music, so I had 🖊️JASRAC (the Japanese copyright society) check for any similar songs. Thankfully, nothing matched, so we’ve registered it as an original composition. We hadn't originally planned to include this track on the new album, but we decided at the last minute to master it today and add it to the lineup. We expect to release the new album sometime next week; it’s a quintessential AOR record, so please look forward to it. ========== [Verse 1] Found a paper ticket In the pocket of my coat Rain on the platform Melted through my throat Your name on the corner Half-smeared in blue I keep it folded Like a map to you [Pre-Chorus] I was late again You were standing there Should've said something Should've gone somewhere Now the doors are closing And I feel that sting One small moment Turned into a thing [Chorus] Paper ticket, paper ticket I keep it for luck Paper ticket, paper ticket Won't you pick me up? Paper ticket, paper ticket Still warm in my hand Paper ticket, paper ticket Take me where you stand (take me where you stand) [Verse 2] Coffee on my collar Mud on my shoes I played it too cool And I paid my dues Now the day keeps moving Like it never cared But your little ticket Says you were there [Pre-Chorus] I was late again You were standing there Should've said something Should've gone somewhere Now the doors are closing And I feel that sting One small moment Turned into a thing [Chorus] Paper ticket, paper ticket I keep it for luck Paper ticket, paper ticket Won't you pick me up? Paper ticket, paper ticket Still warm in my hand Paper ticket, paper ticket Take me where you stand (take me where you stand) [Bridge] If I run to the station Will you still be near? If I call your name out Will you disappear? I don't need forever Just a sign, a spark Just one little reason In the after-dark [Final Chorus] Paper ticket, paper ticket I keep it for luck Paper ticket, paper ticket Won't you pick me up? Paper ticket, paper ticket Still warm in my hand Paper ticket, paper ticket Take me where you stand (take me where you stand) Paper ticket, paper ticket I keep it for luck Paper ticket, paper ticket Won't you pick me up? Paper ticket, paper ticket If you're still around Paper ticket, paper ticket Meet me coming down (meet me coming down [outro] still not late still love you still meet you still you are my dearest
