*Claire's POV*

~5SOS singing~

Within a minute, I was all packed up. I've got a ticket to another world.

I don't wanna go. I don't wanna go.

Silent words are hard to speak, when your thoughts are all I see.

"Don't ever leave." she said to me.

When we both fall asleep underneath the same sky, to the beat of our hearts at the same time.

So close, but so far away.

(Can you hear me?)

She sleeps, alone. My heart wants to come home. I wish I was, I wish I was. Beside you.

She lies, awake. I'm trying to find the words to say. I wish I was, I wish I was. Beside you.

Another day and I'm somewhere new. I made a promise that I'll come home soon.

Bring me back. Bring me back to you.

When we both wake up underneath the same sun, time stops. I wish that I could rewind.

So close, but so far away.

She sleeps, alone. My heart wants to come home. I wish I was, I wish I was. Beside you.

She lies, awake. I'm trying to find the words to say. I wish I was, I wish I was. Beside you.

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

The pieces of us both, under every city light. And they're shining as we fade into the night.

She sleeps, alone. My heart wants to come home. I wish I was, I wish I was...

She sleeps, alone. My heart wants to come home. I wish I was, I wish I was. Beside you.

She lies, awake. I'm trying to find the words to say. I wish I was, I wish I was. Beside you.

She lies awake.

Beside you.

I wish I was, I wish I was.

She sleeps, alone. My heart wants to come home. I wish I was, I wish I was.

The boys finished the song.

"That was so good!" I yelled, hopping up to go hug them, but then sitting back down realizing how much my ankle hurt. "Shit." I mumbled.

"That was perfection! Beside youuuuu!!" Chloe sang.

We all laughed at her sudden outburst.

"I'm glad you liked it." Calum smiled.

"Correction! I loved it." I giggled.

"Oh, well I'm glad you loved it." Calum said, dramatically.

"Can we go swimming now?" Michael whined.

"That's a good idea." Luke yelled, getting up and running out the door, Calum following.

"So I guess we're going swimming." Ashton sighed.

"You don't want to?" I asked, confused.

"Of course I do! But what about you, babe?" he frowned.

"Oh yeah." I said, returning the frown.

"Awww! Claire!" Chloe said, hugging me. "It won't be fun without you. I won't go in if you want."
