     There was this bar that every student from Stanford goes to. It was really the only bar where you don't necessarily need fake I.D.'s. Sebastian, Brianna, her boyfriend, and I all were going to go. It was going to be my first time at a bar. It's my first time getting a drink.
    We walked into this massive, party hang out. There was everything a college student could ask for.
    "This is amazing!" I gasped.
    "All I know we are going to have an amazing night." Brianna commented. We all went up to the bar tender. I just asked for one beer that I could split if I decide I hate it. I probably will.
     We all sat down. I popped open the bottle, and sipped at it.
     "Bleh. This is not what I expected." I made such a wierd face.
      "I can tell that you hadn't a had a drink before." Sebastian chuckled.
       "This is not what I expected." I squinted.
        "Well, after awhile, you get used to it." He answered.
         "When did you have alcohol?" I asked him.
          "When we temporarily broke up." He admitted.
           "That makes sense." I shrugged. I continued to watch as many drunk students sing horribly to make my ears bleed. I couldn't bare to here there voices.
          "Is this how everybody sounds like when they get drunk?" I asked our small table group.
           "Only the stupid ones." Brianna joked. We all laughed as we sipped more of the bottles. "You guys would make everybody's ears happy if you two sang." She brought up.
          "No. No. No." I shook my head.
          "Oh, come on, it'll be fun." Sebastian yanked me off of my seat as we went to go talk to the DJ. After the last two people walked off the stage, we walked in, and grabbed the microphones. The music began to play.


[Tessa:]
The day I first met you
You told me you'd never fall in love
But now that I get you
I know fear is what it really was
Now here we are, so close
Yet so far, how didn't I passed the test?
When will you realize
That baby, I'm not like the rest?

[Tessa and Sebastian:]
Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared, it's wrong

[Tessa:]
Like you might make a mistake

[Tessa and Sebastian:]
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait

[Tessa:]
To waste

[Tessa and Sebastian:]
So let me give your heart a break

[Sebastian:]
Give your heart a break

[Tessa:]
Let me give your heart a break

[Sebastian:]
Your heart a break

[Tessa:]
Oh yeah, yeah

[Sebastian:]
On Sunday, you went home alone
There were tears in your eyes
I called your cell phone, my love
But you did not reply

[Tessa and Sebastian:]
The world is ours if we want it
We can take it

[Tessa (Sebastian):]
If you just take my hand
There's no turning back now (There's no turning back)
Baby, try to understand

[Tessa and Brody:]
Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared, it's wrong

[Tessa:]
Like you might make a mistake

[Tessa and Sebastian:]
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait

[Tessa:]
To waste

[Tessa and Sebastian:]
So let me give your heart a break

[Sebastian:]
Give your heart a break

[Tessa:]
Let me give your heart a break

[Sebastian:]
Your heart a break

[Tessa:]
There's just so much you can take

[Sebastian:]
Give your heart a break

[Tessa:]
Let me give your heart a break

[Sebastian:]
Your heart a break

[Tessa:]
Oh yeah, yeah

When your lips are on my lips

[Tessa and Sebastian:]
And our hearts beat as one

[Tessa:]
But you slip out of my finger tips

[Tessa and Sebastian:]
Every time you run

[Sebastian:]
Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break

[Tessa:]
I know you're scared, it's wrong

[Tessa and Sebastian :]
Like you might make a mistake
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait

[Sebastian:]
To waste

[Tessa and Sebastian:]
So let me give your heart a break

[Tessa (Sebastian ):]
'Cause you've been hurt before (Give your heart a break)
I can see it in your eyes (Give your heart a break)
You try to smile it away (Give your heart a break)
Some things you can't disguise

[Tessa and Sebastian:]
Don't wanna break your heart
Maybe I can ease the ache! the ache!
So let me give your heart a break

[Sebastian (with Tessa harmonizing):]
Give your heart a break
Your heart a break

[Tessa and Sebastian:]
Your heart a break
There's just so much you can take,
Give your heart a break
Let me give your heart a break
Your heart a break
Oh yeah, yeah
