American Idol || Daniel Seavey

Chapter Twenty; Winner

"It's not just me no you feel it too
You know and I know we lost the lotto
It's like our love cut the line in two
We're on different sides though
Lost in the echo

Our lips are moving they're making words
Words turn to riddles we make it worse
Cus I'm not listening
And you're not listening
No
We try to fix it, it never works

We go breaking up like cell phones
When I speak cus you don't listen when I talk
Dial tone nothing but that high note
When you speak cus I don't listen when you talk

Don't think we'll ever get better, better
Gets worse with every letter, letter.

Dial tone nothing but that high note
On repeat cus we don't listen when we talk

If we could speak like we're trying to
Share conversation
Communication
I'm hearing me, and you're hearing you
We're on different islands,
Just sounds of silence

Our lips are moving they're making words
Words turn to riddles we make it worse
Cus I'm not listening
And you're not listening
We try to fix it, it never works

We go breaking up like cell phones
When I speak cus you don't listen when I talk
Dial tone nothing but that high note
When you speak cus I don't listen when you talk

Don't think we'll ever get better, better
Gets worse with every letter, letter.

Dial tone
Nothing but that high note
On repeat cus we don't
Listen when we talk

Our lips are moving they're making words
They're making words
Words turn to riddles we make it worse
Cuz I'm not listening and you're not listening
You're not listening
We try to fix it, it never works
Oh

We go breaking up like cell phones
When I speak cus you don't listen when I talk

Dial tone
Nothing but that high note
When you speak cus I don't
Listen when you talk

Listen when we talk
Ooh yeah

Don't think we'll ever get better, better
Get's worse with every letter, letter.

Dial tone
Nothing but that high note
On repeat cus we don't
Listen when we talk

Talk"

I hit he high note at the end because Emma couldn't hit it. There was clapping and we held hands as we walked off stage.
We all zoned out as Above Average sang- whatever they sang. I wasn't paying much attention, to be honest.
We, including the boys, were all busy posting and tweeting telling fans to vote for us. My thumbs were hurting by the time Above Average was done preforming.
     After they sang they came backstage. "You know. You guys are pretty. It's sad we have to crush you." The main singer, Nicolas, says and I scoff.
    "The only thing that's gonna be crushed is your hearts after we win." Ella says and I laugh a little.
    "I'd say you guys were hot, but I don't lie. I'm a child of Jesus." Morgan bursts out laughing and the guys laugh at her.
     "Do I have to go get the Bible and hit you with it?" She scowls and I laugh. They all look at her like she's crazy.
     "It's from a groupchat we're in. What's the name of that groupchat again? Oh I remember! We ship Z-" I cut her off by putting my hand against her mouth.
    "Shut up!" I tell her and everyone looks very confused.
    We're called back on stage and I bow my head and stare at the ground. Katy opens the envelope and reads before nodding.
    "The winner of American Idol season 17 is.." she pauses and looks around the room and then at the camera.

"Find out when we come back!"
