You guys just recently started dating. The year is 2003. Joey and you are working on a new song.
I walk into the tour bus and see Joey sitting at the table, his hands in his face. He sits back up, pushing his hair out of his face.
"Hey." I say quietly and sit down across from him, "Working on a song?" I ask.
"Yes.. I started this song a long time ago so I've got the chorus but I can't think of what else too add to it."
"Here let me see it." I reach out for the notebook and he hands it too me.
She is everything to me The unrequited dream A song that no one sings The unattainable She's a myth that I have to believe in All I need it to make it real is one more reason I don't know what to do I don't know what to do, when she makes me sad.
I smile and glance up at Joey from the notebook.
"It's about you." He mumbles.
I nod. "We'll I'll make sure to not make it shit."
He chuckles and I flip to another page. I stare at it for a second thinking.
I write down some words. "Okay what do you think?" I slide it over too him.
She seemed dressed in all of me Stretched across my shame All the torment and the pain Leaked through and covered me I do anything to have her to my self Just to have her for my self Now I don't know what to do I don't know what to do when she makes me sad
"I like it." He takes the pen from me.He writes down the chorus after what I wrote, and then adds to it.
But I won't let this build up inside of me I won't let this build up inside of me I won't let this build up inside of me I won't let this build up inside of me
He hands it to me.
A catch in my throat, choke Torn into pieces I won't No I don't wanna be this But I won't let this build up inside of me I won't let this build up inside of me I won't let this build up inside of me I won't let this build up inside of me
I hand it back too him.
She isn't real I can't make her real She isn't real I can't make her real
"Here I'll go grab my guitar." I go over to my bunk and pull out my acoustic guitar.
"I'll just. Um I'll just write."
I nod and sit back down across from him.
"How how about something like this." (Starts playing the intro for Vermillion)
I start singing it, and Joey writes down what I'm playing. He starts to play the hand drums.
"I don't know what to doooo, when she makes me sad." We harmonize together.
We finish playing it and smile at eachother. Still feeling a bit awkward with another because we've only been dating for a few weeks. But we've been friends for a long time.
"I have an idea for an-." Joey and I turn our heads since Corey came flying in the tour bus.
"I got McDonald's!"
__________ Here's a pic of Joey because I can't put it up at the top.
