I was sitting at the table with my best friend Maggie. We're at the grove in LA. We come here all the time to just chill.
"Ugh mags I wanna sing "at my Best" But I cant do the machine gun kelly parts" I say.
"Well I can't sing so"
"I know I know, I just wish I knew someone that would do it"
"Uhm excuse me?" I turn to see Calum hood. I'm shocked.
"Uhm I'm sorry I'm sitting right there" he points beside us.
"And I heard that you want to sing "at my best", I can do it if you want" I smile.
"I would love that" he puts his hand out and I take it. We go up to the karaoke coordinator and give him our song.
"I wrote this song as a message for help
On behalf of anybody findin' they self
I wrote this letter to numb your pain
'Cause everyday I wake up, I'm feelin' the same
I got issues just like you got issues
I been hurt, I seen the scar tissue
If I showed you, would you run away?
Do I gotta hide 'em for you to wanna stay?
Do I, even need you? Should I leave you?
Do I, gotta be you, just to please you?
Do I, say I'm all good, when I bleed you
Through my, heart? Quit tearin' mine apart"
"I shout, I swear, I get angry, I get scared
I fall, I break, I mess up, I make mistakes
But if you can't take me at my worst
You don't deserve me at my best"
"Got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up, uh
Got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up, uh
I got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up
'Cause life is about, aight check this out, look
Life is about makin' mistakes
It's also about tryna be great (right)
Do not let failure scare you away
I know you fed up, you fall, get up
It's all in us, I can speak about 'cause I did it (true)
Ladies and gentlemen, here's the exhibit
It's my life, look a little closer, you could see the highlight
Gold ain't always golden but I told 'em
Look at all the years I've been waitin' for a moment
Shed a lot of tears just to smile in the mornin'
Tell me could you love me? Tell me could you love me?
Tell me could you love me if I told you why?
"I shout, I swear, I get angry, I get scared
I fall, I break, I mess up, I make mistakes
But if you can't take me at my worst
You don't deserve me at my best"
"This song's for anybody, yeah
Who feels like I did, never the cool kid
This song's for anybody
Who fought their way through, always remain true
This song's for anybody
The one's who tryin' to get it, the one's who dream it and live it
This song's for anybody
This song, this song, this song, this song, this song, this song" we sing together.
"Ohh, I shout, I swear, I get angry, I get scared
I fall, I break, I mess up, I make mistakes
But if you can't take me at my worst
You don't deserve me at my best"
"Got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up, uh
Got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up, uh
I got to keep it goin', got to keep my head up
'Cause life is about" we walk off the stage and head towards our table.
"Thank you that was fun" I say to him.
"It was we should do it again some time" he says smiling.
"I got a video of it, is it ok if we post it?" Maggie asks.
"Ya go ahead, thanks for asking"
"Of course, and I'd love to do it again, you should text me" he takes out his phone and puts my number into it.
"I mean you can text me about other things to" I wink and sit back down.
"Smooth" Maggie says. I laugh.
