Mississippi sat on a chair across from three other states in the basement of the state house. Across there was Louisiana, California, New York, and Nevada, the five sat in silence with a few occasional tapping noises, as an array of music played in the background.
If the song was really good maybe there would be some singing along from the western states and Louisiana but today it seemed the music selection was all songs they had over played to death.
The song slowed to a finish before California picked up his phone.
"You guys wanna try something new?
"Sure I guess."
"Eh."
"Fo sho."
Mississippi nodes in response to the question, he was the only one to not speak.
"Alright so I'm not even sure why Spotify recommended this song but might as well try it, it's not really any of the usual genres we listen to by the way."
"Alright."
California tapped his phone and than the music started.
More than just a dream
More than just a dream
40 days and 40 nights
I waited for a girl like you to come and save my life
The music wasn't really something Mississippi would listen too. Usually he could be found listening to jazz, country, or the blues, not this. The song wasn't bad though.
All the days I waited for you
You know the ones who said I'd never find someone like you
Mississippi listened to the lyrics, his mind wandering to one of the states present with him.
'Cause you were out of my league
All the things I believed
You were just the right kind
Yeah, you were more than just a dream
You were out of my league
Got my heartbeat racing
If I die, don't wake me
'Cause you are more than just a dream
Sometimes it felt like he wouldn't ever have a shot at love, most of the other states he was with had.
He had fallen for someone, yes, but someone way out of his league.
From time to time I pinch myself
Because I think my girl mistakes me for somebody else
And every time she takes my hand
All the wonders that remain
Become a simple fact
California tapped his fingers against each other.
Louisiana's foot hit down against the floor gently and repeatedly.
That you were out of my league
All the things I believed
You were just the right kind
Yeah, you were more than just a dream
You were out of my league
Got my heartbeat racing
If I die, don't wake me
'Cause you are more than just a dream
You were out of my league
All the things I believed
You were just the right kind
Yeah, you were more than just a dream
You were out of my league
Got my heartbeat racing
If I die, don't wake me
'Cause you are more than just a dream
More than just a dream
Mississippi looked at Louisiana, who seemed to be enjoying himself. He always did. He doesn't think he's ever seen Louisiana upset, at least not when he's with him.
(More than, more than)
(More than, more than)
(More than, more than)
More than just a dream
(More than, more than)
(More than, more than)
As the song repeated he couldn't help but think.
(More than, more than)
More than just a dream
(More than, more than)
(More than, more than)
(More than, more than)
More than just a dream
Louisiana was just a dream, an unobtainable one at that.
