a new song

I finished a song this evening after watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (I love action movies...even not-so-great ones), and eating dinner with Jenn. I made pasta with a sauce made of lemon juice, butter, salt, pepper, white wine, garlic, and capers, and we had a salad with blue cheese and balsamic vinegar dressing. Delicious.
I'd had the chords jotted down for a while now, and I already wrote the melody, but I hadn't yet written lyrics. It's in 4/4 and in D-flat major.

We lay on a blanket, looking up at the sky,
Waiting for stars to shoot by
Sitting in the back seat, as the wheels spin
Smile, take it all in

If I knew, what hurt you
If I knew, could I have made it go away
If I knew, what hurt you
If I knew, would you have thought to stay

You built a castle, that led to the stars
Didn't think you'd run quite so far
Reach out a hand now, you rose up from the ground
And then, you left without a sound

And if I knew, what hurt you
If I knew, could I have made it go away
If I knew, what hurt you
If I knew, would you have thought to stay
