˗ˋˏ ♡ ˎˊ˗ real life ˗ˋˏ ˎˊ˗

I had recently gotten into songwriting again. As an actress and a theatre kid, I been songwriting for most of my career, but after I wrote No Time To Die in 2018, I realized that I had only found myself doing it for projects rather than actually producing something for myself. I've since taken a break, but quarantine really forced me back into it as a stress reliever.

A few months ago, I had helped Kenz build a makeshift recording studio in her spare bedroom. Now, I had written six songs, and she was helping me record them. We were on the last one of the set, tongue tied.

Take me to your best friend's house
Go around this roundabout
Oh yeah
Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now
Oh yeah

Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't...
Right!

Take me to your best friend's house
Marmalade we're making out
Oh yeah
Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now

Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't...
Right!

One, two, three, four
Don't leave me tongue tied
Let's stay up all night
I'll get real high
Slumber party; pillow fight
My eyes on your eyes
Like Peter Pan up in the sky
My best friend's house tonight
Let's bump the beats till beddy-bye

Don't take me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't take me tongue tied
Don't kiss me goodnight
Don't...

Take me to your best friend's house
Go around this roundabout
Oh yeah
Take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now

Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't...

Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't wave no goodbye
Don't leave me tongue tied
Don't...

When I finished, Kenzie clapped and said, "I think that's the last one, unless you want to record another?"

"No, I'm good. I think it's a complete body of work," I replied.

"I think so too," she commented, then smirked. "So let's talk. Are tongue tied, love is embarrassing, and the boy is mine about anyone special?"

"Nope, just my own delusions," I replied before she gave me a side eye, so I confessed. "Fine, they are kinda about someone."

"Oooh, who?" She pried.

"Recently, I've been having feelings for Mason," I revealed.

"You have feelings for Mason?!?" She screamed before I covered her mouth.

"Let the whole world know why don't ya,"  I said, sarcastically.

"Sorry," she said sheepishly. "I actually ship it though. Your ship name can be Masy or Ison."
