BRANDON

We were in New York for a couple talk shows but this time it was just us guys, and Elliot. We all had a couple weeks off from our tour with the girls and ours were going to be spent doing promo for our new CD.

The only thing I hated was having to explain to Elliot why the girls weren't there with us all. I was lucky that I had Ben along with us in order to help me watch Elliot while we were doing interviews and performing.

We were in the middle of an interview that involved questions about Elliot, and all of our relationship statuses. And it was hard to not mention Lauren, but we had agreed to keep our relationship private for now. At least for a bit after the attention our last breakup had gotten.

It didn't help that all the attention that our breakup had gotten was now apparently back on us since we had all gone back on tour together again.

"So Brandon, any bad feelings going back on tour with Lauren Jauregui after the big breakup you all had?" The interviewer asked, looking at me.

"No, there's no bad feelings between us. All that happened a couple years ago, before my son was even born, so I mean it's all in the past." I said, shrugging.

"Yeah, Bran and Lauren are fine. The best tour we've ever had had been with the girls so being back with them for another tour is great." Alex added on, nodding.

"We're all like a family honestly, and I feel like when our groups are together - Its the best support group we could ask for." I said, nodding.

The interview nodded, "After the commercial break, we'll be back with Chord Eight performing one of their new songs."

Called you up this time, I thought I'd be your shelter
You left me standing at your door
Kept you off my mind last weekend, but it felt worse
Now I'm back outside once more

'Cause I like the rhythms you play
Melodies making me sway, wanted some more
We were the talk of the day
Should've been up on the stage, not on the floor
Something just pulled you away
Happened in front of my face, what's all of this for?
I'm still feeling the same.

How 'bout you, you
'Cause I miss the stupid things that we do, ooh
How 'bout you, you
'Cause I hate to have to change this tattoo too
Yeah I like the rhythms you play
Melodies making me sway, wanted some more
We were the talk of the day
Should've been up on the stage
How 'bout you, you
'Cause I miss the stupid things that we do, ooh

Always seem to have a question for your answers
How could you act so carelessly, aye
Your reasons don't add up, you're such a little actor
See I give you all my thoughts for free (yeah)

'Cause I like the rhythms you play
Melodies making me sway, wanted some more
We were the talk of the day
Should've been up on the stage, not on the floor
Something just pulled you away
Happened in front of my face, what's all of this for?
I'm still feeling the same

How 'bout you, you
'Cause I miss the stupid things that we do, ooh
How 'bout you, you
'Cause I hate to have to change this tattoo too
Yeah I like the rhythms you play
Melodies making me sway, wanted some more
We were the talk of the day
Should've been up on the stage
How 'bout you, (how 'bout you?) you
'Cause I miss the stupid things that we do, ooh
Uh, cuttin' all my distractions
No tats, cause baby I don't want no attachments
Maybe this is perfect and I'm overreacting
Or maybe I'm just missing something I never had yet
How 'bout you?
You really think that we could work together
But if it don't last you're gonna hurt forever
You say maybe we should give it a chance, cancel our plans
I really hope that you understand, it's like
