We ran away from the bus. Well more like he tried to run, I staggered drunkenly and he had to pick me up. He carried me to the shade of some trees, and then set me down. Somehow my beer had not spilled on the way here, so I took a big swig.
“Easy there,” Alex said, taking the beer from me. “So you never told me the name of your band,”
“Conspiracy Theory,” I told him.
“Cool,” he said. “Feel like singing me a song?”
“I don’t know…” I said.
“Come on,” he said. “Please? Just for me?”
“Fine,” I said, and began to sing one of my favorite original songs.
“Everyone has something
Something to feel inside
A memory
Or a photograph
Mine’s the summer of 1999
I got so tired of those endless albums
And the fake smile they gave me
When I was so young
But still knew so much was wrong
When everything feels right
And nothing feels the same
It’s all brand new
When you can see through eyes with change
It was one moment
One day
That’s when I knew
Nothing would ever be the same
He led me through the crowd
We pushed our way to the front
And I knew right then
This is all I would ever want
When everything feels right
And nothing feels the same
It’s all brand new
When you can see through eyes with change
It was one moment
One day
That’s when I knew
Nothing would ever be the same
It was in that moment
I felt free and I knew I could be
Anything and Everything
But there’s only one thing
That could finish this moment for me
When everything feels right
And nothing feels the same
It’s all brand new
When you can see through eyes with change
It was one moment
One day
That’s when I knew
Nothing would ever be the same”
“You’re a really good singer,” he complimented me.
“Thanks,”
“So why was your brother so mad?”
“He’s just being a stupid older brother,” I said, slightly slurring my words. “Even though, I’m twenty one and he should leave me alone.”
