Best Friends Forever

Chapter 111: Singing

Vanessa's POV:

I go to the studio to find Matt. He's writing a song and he gets in booth one and sings.

She said, "Let's get out of this town,
Drive out of the city, away from the crowds."
I thought heaven can't help me now.
Nothing lasts forever, but this is gonna take me down
She's so tall and beautiful
She's so bad but she does it so well
I can see the end as it begins
My one condition is
Say i'll remember you
Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say i'll see you again
Even if it's just in my
Wildest dreams, ah-ha ohh,
Wildest dreams, ah-ha ohh.
I get into booth two and sing the next verse.
I said, "No one has to know what we do, "
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound,
Nothing lasts forever but this is getting good now
He's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
And when we've had our very last kiss
My last request it is
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your
Wildest dreams, ah-ha ohh,
Wildest dreams, ah-ha ohh.
We finish the song.
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Someday when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you around
You'll see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Someday when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you around
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just pretend
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your
Wildest dreams, ah-ha ohh
In your wildest dreams, ah-ha ohh ah-ha
In your wildest dreams, ah-ha

As we finish the song, Matt leaves the studio. I think about leaving. I go into booth one and sing.

I've gotta do what i've gotta do
And you've gotta like it or not
I've got dreams too big for this town
And I need to give 'em a shot
Whatever they are
Looks like i'm all ready to leave
Nothing left to pack
There ain't no room for you in that car
Even if you ask meto tag along
God you gotta be strong
I'm at the startin' line of the rest of my life
As ready as i've ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win
I'm waitin' on your blessings before I hit that
open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Don't go
I hear a voice singing the next verse
She says things are fallen into place
Feels like they're fallen apart
I painted this big ol' smile on my face
To hide my broken heart
If only she knew
This is where I don't say what I want so bad to say
This is where I want to but I won't get in the way
Of her and her dreams
And spreadin' her wings
She's at the startin' line of the rest of her life
As ready as she's ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in her eyes
The prize is hers to win
She's waitin' on my blessings before she hits that
open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Don't go

I'm at the startin' line of the rest of my life
As ready as i've ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win
She's waitin' on my blessings before she hits that
open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Please don't go

Don't go
Don't go
I've gotta do what i've gotta do
She's gotta do what she's gotta do

I'm at the airport thinking about getting a flight to Tampa I get a ticket and I get on the plane. I think about a song.

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming
I'm back where I belong, yeah I never felt so strong
I feel like there's nothing that I can't try
And if you with me put your hands
If you ever lost a life before,
This one's for you
And you, and you, and you, and you
I'll be home soon
I hear "The Tears of a Clown"
I hate that song
I always feel like they talking to me when it comes on
Another day another dawn
Another Keisha, nice to meet ya, get the math I'm gone
What am I 'posed to do when the club lights come on
It's easy to be Puff, but it's harder to be Sean
What if the twins ask why I ain't marry their mom
How do I respond?
What if my son stares with a face like my own
And says he wants to be like me when he's grown
Shit, but I ain't finished growing
Another night the inevitable prolongs
Another day another dawn
Just tell Keisha and Taresha I'll be better in the morn'
Another lie that I carry on
I need to get back to the place I belong
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming... home
"A house is Not a Home", I hate this song
Is a house really a home when your loved ones is gone
And niggas got the nerve to blame you for it
And you know you woulda took the bullet if you saw it
But you felt it and still feel it
And money can't make up for it or conceal it
But you deal with it and you keep ballin'
Pour out some liquor, play ball and we keep ballin'
Baby we've been living in sin 'cause we've been really in love
But we've been living as friends
So you've been a guest in your own home
It's time to make your house your own
Pick up the phone, come on
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming... home
"Ain't No Stopping Us Now", I love that song
Whenever it comes on it makes me feel strong
I thought I told y'all that we won't stop
We back cruising through Harlem, these ol' blocks
It's what made me, saved me, drove me crazy
Drove me away then embraced me
Forgave me for all of my shortcomings
Welcome to my homecoming
Yeah, it's been a long time coming
Lot of fights, lot of scars, lot of bottles
Lot of cars, lot of ups, lot of downs
Made it back, lost my dog
But here I stand a better man!
Thank you Lord
Thank you all!
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Tell the world that I'm coming... home
