Pick Me Up

State of Mind

          It's been two hours since we got on the plane. I chose the window seat while Kaela is sitting next to me and Emily next to her. I look over and see Jae passed out and soring quietly. He sitting in the row next to ours. Luckily,  there is no little kids behind me so no kicked seats. I poke Emily and whisper, "Hey, can you grab me Jae's stuff?" Emily gives me a confused expression and then leans over and grabs his bag and hands it to me. I grab it and mouth, "Thanks." I open his bag and grab the notepad and a pencil, I put the bag next to me. I flip open to a fresh page. I poke Emily again and say, "So, our group name is Infinite 세? She nods and I ask another question, "We should write a song just in case we have to showcase our skills." She gives me a thumbs up. I poke kaela and ask her to switch seats with Emily. Half awake, she stands and switches seats. Thanks! I'd tell her but she wouldn't hear me. I start conversing with Emily about what our song should be about. After an hour and half of working we came up with

*State of Mind

          

(KAELAS PART)

They say we're too young to amount to anything else

Look around

We work too damn hard for this

Just to give it up now

The world I see is beautiful

The wonder takes my breathe away

Nothing surrounding us will

Stay the same

You can lift your head up to the sky

Take a deeper breath

And give it time

You can walk the path of all lies

With your shattered frame of mind

(MY RAP)

Confident principles, valuable dignity (uh huh)

My eye smile is a given, my tears are my weapon (that’s right)

My smile is fire, it’ll burn you up (burn)

You want it, come and get it now, if you don’t wanna, that’s too bad

(KOREAN PART I'll do it also)

Ni mameul kkaemulgo domangchil geoya goyangicheoreom

Neon jakku andari nal geoya nae apeuro wa eoseo hwanaeboryeom

Nae seksihan georeum ni meori soge balttongeul geoneun

Eungeunhan seukinship eolgure bichin mot chama jukkkettan ni nunbit

Galsurok gipi deo ppajeodeureo

Alsurok niga deo mame deureo Baby

Amuraedo ni saenggage chwihaennabwa

(EMILY'S PART)

I am the proudest, I never say sorry (nope)

Being fake is a given, I’m really smart (yes)

My smile is killa because it makes everyone die (oops)

You want it, come and get it now, if you don’t wanna, that’s too bad

Oh the hero comes

I can hear the drums

To the horses drum

To the kingdom come

Through the pain of light

The house ignites in the cold

Oh whoaa oh

Claim your prize

For the crown of stars

In the name of love

Be the sacrifice

You and I will fight

Our backs to the world

-piano solo maybe-

Let the fever rise

The horses race

To the blazing sun

Baby I'm the one

I'm the one who will fall

Oh whoaa oh

Meet me down

On the bitter stone

I will wait for you

Just to rest my soul

Don't you worry

You will fight with the call

(ALL 3 OF US)

You can lift your head up to the sky

Take a deeper breath

And give it time

You can walk the path of all lies

With your shattered frame of mind

The wonder takes my breathe away

Nothing surrounding us will

Stay the same

*We didn't actually write this; we took song lyrics from different songs and mashed them togethee (:

         "Finished!" I rip the page out of Jae's notebook and put the notebook and pencil back in his bag and I give it to Emily to put back next to Jae. Jae's still still sound asleep. "I'm going to take a nap." Emily says as she closes her eyes. "Alright." I then remember the envelope. Open it on the plane, she said. Well I'm kn the plane. I take it out of my Michigan bag and place the paper with the song inside and take out the other papers and I begin to read.
