Taylor's POV
"Hmm, how about one I didn't write," I ponder aloud.
"Huh?" She doesn't seem to understand my words as she taps her fingers on my neck.
"Ahh, I know one that works on the piano," I smile at her as she continues to suck on Piglet and adjusts her position to lay her ear on my chest once more. I slowly play the introduction from memory as I feel Averie nuzzle her head into me more as if she's searching for something new.
"I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dream
Oh, oh, and they come unstuck
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
I can't help but look at Joe as I sing the I Love You line, thinking about all the times I was too scared to admit it to him or have this relationship turn into something bigger. Now here we are sitting in his apartment playing music while we try to earn his three-year-old daughter's trust back.
There's this movie that I think you'll like
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboy's running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf
Oh, oh, and they come unstuck
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
I just wanna, I just wanna know
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
I swear she's destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh
These lines above are extra special to me as I think about all the worries that surround my relationship with Joe. Mainly his want to stay in a relationship that will constantly be under scrutiny. We've been dating in secret for so long, so now I worry about what will happen when everyone finds out.
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
Oh, lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
I'm never certain of anyone's ability to say that forever means forever, but I think that this might be my forever. Joe, Averie, and all the life that we haven't lived. I think it's safe to say that I think I've fallen in love with her, even if she hates me about 80% of the time.
Oh, lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left-hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
And I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
