What would be illegal about that? Unless you stole it form someone else.... Ohhh.... I see said the blind man.... yeah, Cake doesn't really have a lyrics forum...... does it?
I'm glad to see you striking out into lyric writing. Please accept this with a grain of salt. It's not meant to be harsh or critical.... just some basics into writing that have taken me a while to learn.
When it comes to lyrics..... there are certain "rules" that should be followed to one degree or another. Some would argue that's not the case, that anything goes. I would say maybe..... but the rules are there for a reason and if you listen to popular songs, most of them follow the rules to the letter.
Writing lyric is a learned skill. The more you write, the better you get.
My co-writer, who is more of a lyricist than I, has taught me a few things....and just a few days ago, I had the opportunity to talk in depth with a Nashville hit writer on the topic of writing, as it concerned stuff I had written....and he backed up what Pat said, and actually went deeper.
Here's what I learned from both the Nashville cat and my co-writer.
You need a rhyming structure. You can choose to have one or not....if not, the words must be extremely powerful to the point that rhyming is not as important as the words. (this is generally a very rare situation)
So having a rhyming structure is critical. No matter the form... if you rhyme the last word in line 1 & 3 or 2 & 4 or both..... you must follow through the same pattern on all the verses. You can also rhyme words inside the lines....again, that should be repeated in the following verses.
Your syllable count .... line by line, should also match from one verse to the next. Not doing this makes the melody different in it's rhythm.
The overall structure..... verses, bridge, chorus....is totally up to you the writer as you tell the story through the song.
Verses provide details, who what when where why, kind of things.... they can tell the story from various points of view....or build on one another to complete the story in parts.
Choruses tie all the verses together and give the song the anchor point.... generally the title and hook (musical and lyrical hook) will be found in the chorus. This should be very easy to predict where the title is and you should be able to name the title without knowing it...first time you hear the song.
Bridges.... are just that... they take you from one place to another and they connect things.... the most important thing to me about a bridge is that it should be melodically different from the verse/chorus in the song and it should add a different perspective to the song. Kind of like a twist in the plot. This is where you give some new information on the story. It will generally take you right back to the chorus where now, you may view the chorus in a different light.
Dang... was that too much information?
Sorry if it was.... I love writing and talking about writing....
Another thing.... beginners tend to use lots of cliches..... avoid cliches. Think about what you want to say...... "I love you" is so cliche in songs but it's used a lot..... it's been said thousands of times before..... instead.... think of a way to say it differently.... " I can't live without the sparkle in your eyes, the funny way you smile"..... it says about the same thing, but in a way it may not have been said before. Listen to the songs on the radio..... lots of people pan that stuff, but you gotta listen to see how these writers are saying the same old things..... BUT in a new and different way.
Hope this helps you.....
If you are going to be writing lyrics, I would suggest getting a few books on the art and aspect of writing song lyrics.
Edit: on melodic range....if it's out of the range of the "normal singers" maybe it should be changed so it does fit. Not everyone has the range of just a handful of the pros...... changing a melody to fit a more realistic vocal range is easy work.
