THE MEETING: SHAWN MENDES✔ (Dutch)

80.

Shawns pov
Eva loopt weg en wij blijven achter. Ik pak mijn gitaar en begin wat te pingelen. Lieve kijkt op en kijkt me aan met haar mooie blauwe ogen. Ik glimlach. 'Wat ga je spelen?' vraagt ze. Ik haal mijn schouders op. 'Wat wil je dat ik speel' zeg ik zwoel. Lieve schiet in de lach, waardoor ik ook in de lach schiet. 'Sorry, dat moest even!'. 'Snap ik, soms heb ik ook zulke film momentjes' lacht Lieve. Ik knik en focus me weer om mijn gitaar. 'Wat wil je horen>'. 'Maakt me niet uit, ik vind there's nothing holding me back wel leuk'. Ik knik en begin te spelen. Lieve schudt zachtjes mee met haar hoofd. Ik start met zingen.

I wanna follow where she goes
I think about her and she knows it
I wanna let her take control
'Cause every time that she gets close, yeah

She pulls me in enough to keep me guessing, mmm
And maybe I should stop and start confessing
Confessing, yeah

Oh, I've been shaking
I love it when you go crazy
You take all my inhibitions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back

You take me places that tear up my reputation
Manipulate my decisions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back

There's nothing holdin' me back

There's nothing holdin' me back

She says that she's never afraid
Just picture everybody naked
She really doesn't like to wait
Not really into hesitation

Pulls me in enough to keep me guessing, whoa
And maybe I should stop and start confessing
Confessing, yeah

Oh, I've been shaking
I love it when you go crazy
You take all my inhibitions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back

You take me places that tear up my reputation
Manipulate my decisions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back

There's nothing holdin' me back

'Cause if we lost our minds
And we took it way too far
I know we'd be alright,
Know we would be alright

If you were by my side
And we stumbled in the dark
I know we'd be alright,
I know we would be alright

'Cause if we lost our minds
And we took it way too far
I know we'd be alright,
I know we would be alright

If you were by my side
And we stumbled in the dark
I know we'd be alright,
We would be alright

Oh, I've been shaking
I love it when you go crazy
You take all my inhibitions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back

You take me places that tear up my reputation
Manipulate my decisions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back

There's nothing holdin' me back

I feel so free
When you're with me,
Baby

Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back

Ik stop en kijk Lieve aan. Ze glimlacht naar me. 'Blijft mooi'. Ik knik en geef haar mijn gitaar. 'Ook iets spelen?'. 'Is goed'. Ze pakt de gitaar aan en kijkt me aan. 'Oké, ik heb hem pas geleerd, dus hij is nog niet zo goed'. 'Maakt niet uit, ik vind het al goed als er überhaupt iets uit komt'. Lieve lacht. 'Weet ik, maar dit is anders. Je hebt me al een paar keer gehoord, nu verwacht je zeker weer iets goeds'. 'Helemaal niet, je wil niet weten hoe slecht ik het allemaal al gehoord heb!'. 'Oké, maar je beloofd me niet te lachen!'. Ik knik. Lieve zet haar vingers goed en ik ga iets dichter bij zitten. Ze kijkt me aan en begint dan ook zacht te zingen.

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 dreams

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

Is 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

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

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 got a lump in my throat because you're gonna sing the words wrong

Onzeker kijkt ze me aan. Ik kijk haar met open mond aan. 'Niet zo goed?! Niet zo goed?! Dat was prachtig!' roep ik. Lieve bloost en kijkt naar de grond. Ik pak haar kin vast, zodat ze me persé aan moet kijken. Ze bloost nogal. Ik glimlach. 'Je hoeft niet te blozen, het was echt heel mooi!'. 'Dankjewel'. Ze kijkt me diep in mijn ogen aan. Langzaam leun ik naar voren, totdat onze lippen elkaar raken.
