SONG STORY 1

Because I am so emotional these days (Which I don't know why. Well I know, I think I'm just denying it.), this idea popped out of my mind. SONG STORY. It's basically a story, may or may not be happening in real life. The twist is that it is narrated in a song, an existing one. Characters say what they want to say through the lines in the song. So tadaaaaa! My first ever song story. Enjoy! :)




STAY
Lisa Loeb

(Girl1, Boy2)

Girl1: You say I only hear what I want to
Girl1: You say I talk so all the time so.


Girl1: And I thought what I felt was simple,

Girl1: And I thought that I don't belong,

Girl1: And now that I am leaving,
Girl1: Now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you.
Girl1: Yeah, I missed you.



Girl1: And you say I only hear what I want to:

Girl1: I don't listen hard,

Girl1: I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
Or to anyone, anywhere,
Boy2: I don't understand if you really care,
Boy2: I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no (bad)



Boy2: And so I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up



Boy2: 
And this woman was singin' my song:



Boy2: 
The lover's in love and the other's run away,


Boy2: 
The lover is cryin' 'cause the other won't stay.



Narrator: Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was



Narrator: 
Dying since the day they were born.

Girl1: Well, this is not that:
Girl1: I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.



Girl1: And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure.



Girl1: You try to tell me that I'm clever,

Girl1: But that won't take my anyhow, or anywhere with you.



Girl1: You said that I was naive,

Girl1: And I thought that I was strong. 

Girl1: I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
Girl1: Oh but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you. 



Boy2: You said, "I caught you 'cause I want you and one day I'll let you go." 

Girl1: You try to give away a keeper
Boy2: Or keep me 'cause you know you're just so scared to lose.

Boy2: And you say, "Stay."



Girl1: You say I only hear what I want to.
