POV Shawn

"Okay, guys. I have an idea. My wife, Indy, wasn't able to make it today. She gave birth a few days ago and apparently babies aren't allowed to fly. I first wanted to bail on this concert, to be with her, but she convinced me to go. For you guys. Let's call my wife and sing a song for her, together. To let her know we think about her. That is the least we can do for her. I want you to sing your hearst out. Can you do that for her?" The audience starts screaming loudly.

"Okay Wango Tango, lets do this!" They start screaming louder than ever before. "Okay, quiet, quiet." I start calling her. Please answer me, please Indy. I hope she's awake.

I'm holding my phone by the microphone. "Hey," she says. "Hey beautiful, this one's for you and our little boy."

"Sunrise with you on my chest. No blinds in the place where I live. Daybreak open your eyes, 'cause this was only ever meant to be for one night. Still, we're changing our minds here. Be yours, be my dear. So close with you on my lips. Touch noses, feeling your breath. Push your heart and pull away, yeah. Be my summer in a winter day love. I can't see one thing wrong, between the both of us. Be mine, be mine, yeah. Anytime, anytime." I sing first.

"Ooh, you know I've been alone for quite a while, haven't I. I thought I knew it all. Found love but I was wrong. More times than enough, but since you came along. I'm thinking, baby." I almost say to her. I almost forget I'm on stage. It's just me and her.

"You are bringing out a different kind of me. There's no safety net that's underneath. I'm free. Falling all in you. Fell for men who weren't how they appear. Trapped up on a tightrope now we're here. We're free. Falling all in you." My fans sing with me. This is amazing.

"Fast forward a couple years, yeah. Grown up in the place that we live. Make love, then we fight. Laugh 'cause it was only meant to be for one night baby. I guess we can't control what's just not up to us. Be mine, be mine, yeah. Anytime, anytime." Just a couple fans sing with me. They're amazing.

"Ooh, you know I've been alone for quite a while, haven't I. I thought I knew it all. Found love but I was wrong. More times than enough. But since you came along. I'm thinking, baby." I sing alone.

"You are bringing out a different kind of me. There's no safety net that's underneath. I'm free. Falling all in you. Fell for men who weren't how they appear. Trapped up on a tightrope now we're here. We're free. Falling all in you." My fans sing. I just listen to Indy. I can tell she's crying.

"Every time I see you baby I get lost. If I'm dreaming, baby, please don't wake me up. Every night I'm with you I fall more in love. Now I'm laying by your side. Everything feels right since you came along. I'm thinking baby." I keep quiet for a moment.

"You, yeah, are bringing out a different kind of me!" I get completely pure. I'm always so afraid of this part. My voice cracks a lot.

"There's no safety net that's underneath. I'm free. Falling all in you. Fell for men who weren't how they appear. Trapped up on a tightrope now we're here. We're free. Falling all in." After the final sentences, the music also falls away. The whole square becomes quiet. The only thing we hear is Indy crying.

"Thank you Shawn. I love you." She said. The whole square starts making noises. "I love you to beautiful. I'll call you back tonight, okay?" She blows a kiss through the phone and hangs up.

"Thank you Tango Wango!" I yell at them.
