High Hopes

Three - He's Heavy

No way in hell am I going to sing in front of these townies.

I don't sing.

Okay I do but not in front of people.

The guys shoved me forward and the crowd dispersed to make a path.

I reluctantly make my legs walk to the small stage before us.

My knees are weak and my palms are sweating.

Don't. Make. Me. Do. This.

"Uh I didn't volunteer."I rambled to the guy.

"Come on you'll be fine."

He took my hand and pulled me on stage.

I clammily took the microphone from him and looked at the crowd.

There was about 50 people. Not many.

I keep forgetting this is a tiny town.

I move the microphone and it makes an ear piercing sound.

Everyone covers their ears and I look towards my "friends" nervously.

Kayla gave me a reassuring smile while the others just stared blankly.

I cleared my throat and told the DJ the song.

He began to play it and I sung .

You're the light, you're the night

You're the color of my blood

You're the cure, you're the pain

You're the only thing I wanna touch

Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

I squeaked out the first verse, glancing at the faces intently watching me.

You're the fear, I don't care

Cause I've never been so high

Follow me to the dark

Let me take you past our satellites

You can see the world you brought to life, to life

I gracefully sang the next verse, gaining confidence.

So love me like you do, love me like you do

Love me like you do, love me like you do

Touch me like you do, touch me like you do

What are you waiting for?

I full out sung the chorus and people clapped their hands and hollered. I smiled and continued to sing the song.

Fading in, fading out

On the edge of paradise

Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find

Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire

Yeah, I'll let you set the pace

Cause I'm not thinking straight

My head spinning around I can't see clear no more

What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, love me like you do

Love me like you do, love me like you do
