This is usually the route I go. I find it easy to hear the words of a song once I have the music in my head. I can feel the song when I play it and maybe hum a few bars as I go along soon I find something I like and work with it.

Azrael Have you took a listen to my song "Faded" in the tricks section? This is the method I used to find the lyrics to that song.
