(Discordant (makeshift) guitars and drums)
Dale: -And you messed it up by yelling "yeah"?!
Dale: Ellie, you ready?
(Drums stop)
Rowan: (Quietly) I just want to start a flame in your heart...
Dale: (shouting) Rowan! Ready?
(Silence)
(Guitar pick starts)
Rowan:
(Verse 1) Gotta ticket to far away,
I know it'll take a while
But I'll get there someday,
Don't wanna let go of my memories,
But it's time to move on,
If I wanna be free,
You can scream all you want,
But it will never change,
You can try your best,
But it will be the same,
I don't wanna say good bye,
But it's time to fly
(Chorus)Gotta make my way through these city lights,
Gotta- gotta be fast because they're shining so bright,
Gotta make it out before it hits the light,
When life gets tough you've gotta put up a fight.
I feel so lost I dunno where to go,
I feel so sad because I already know,
It's gonna be hard it's gonna be a climb,
But when it gets tough you Gotta put up a fight
(Verse 2) I'm getting close but I feel like I'm at the start,
I keep on trying, but I don't think I'm getting far,
These wings are broken and I can't fly,
But I know that I'll be alright,
I feel like I am sinking,
Waiting to drown,
No body save me I'm going down,
So don't stopping me know, don't go stopping me now
(Chorus x2)
(Song finishes.)
Ellie: Woo! Yeah! That was- Oh, we still recording?
Dale: (quietly) Goddamn it Ellie...
