How do I get over you?
When I’d give all that I am
How do I show you?
When you can’t even see
That I want you to notice me
How do I get over you?
When I love you
so timidly and true
Everyday I see you
I want to tell you everything
But I know that you’d just laugh at me
And turn and walk away
Then I’d never see you again
But I won’t ever let you do that
Because its happened so many times
And I can’t take any more pain
So I stay quiet and keep it inside
How do I get over you?
When I’d give all that I am
How do I show you?
When you can’t even see
That I want you to notice me
How do I get over you?
When I love you
so timidly and true
I’ve give my voice
If I could stand beside you
Just to watch you move and blink and breath
I’d give my eyes
If I could listen to your soft words
Whisper gently in my ear
I’d give my ears
If I could stand so close
And breath in the sweet air around you
And I’d give my nose
If I could have one simple kiss
One soft and gentle kiss from your lips
And I’d give everything
To have you actually want to be around me
And I’d give all that I ever cared about
For you to take my hand and let me know
You are here now and I’m going to be fine
How do I get over you?
When I’d give all that I am
How do I show you?
When you can’t even see
That I want you to notice me
How do I get over you?
When I love you
so timidly and true
“Wow.” Sugar let out the breath she had been holding in. “Skeet, are these feelings real?
Skeeto just shook her head, but Sugar noticed that it wasn’t a confident head shake.
“They are just some random thoughts that I decided to write down. They would make a good
song I think.” Skeeto relaxed back against her pillow, and looked up at Sugar, who just continued
flipping through the note book. Skeeto soon drifted off to sleep, and despite what Sugar had said,
she felt that someone else needed to see these lyrics.
“I can’t get this right, no matter how many times I try, it just won’t work.” Justin was so
frustrated that the hair on the back of his neck stood on end. “Ugh.” He threw the towel that he
was holding to the ground. “Mike, play it again.” Justin held the microphone up to his mouth,
and sang the cords with his eyes closed. He was trying so hard to get the feel for the music and
the words, but for some odd reason the weren’t flowing together. “Stop Mike, stop.”
JC came up onto the stage, and saw Justin literally pulling his blond curls from his head.
“Yo, JJ’ what are you doing?” JC forced his friend to sit down, before anymore damage was done
to his fro.
“JC, I can’t get this. I’ve tried, and tried, but for some reason this song doesn’t work.” Justin
handed JC the sheet of music, and JC looked it over.
“Justin, haven’t you been working on this for months now?” JC glanced quickly over at Justin,
and watched him nod his head. “Then explain to me, why you don’t have it down yet.”
“Like I said, the music and words won’t flow together.” Justin ripped the paper from JC’s hands,
wadded it up into a ball, and threw it across the stage. It landed near a pair of small feet.
Skeeto picked the paper up, and uncrumpled it, looking over the words carefully. She mustered
up enough courage to walk out onto that stage to talk to Justin.
“Excuse me.” Two pairs of eyes turned to look at her, and she begin to feel very uneasy, but she
forced herself to keep her ground. “I might know what your problem is. Mike, will you start the
music.” Skeeto took the microphone from Justin’s hands, and sang a soft melody to the
music.
Justin and JC seemed totally amazed at her ability. Justin listened carefully and when she was
done, she handed the mic back to him. She turned to leave, but he extended his hand out to stop
her.
“Skeeto, thank you.” She just nodded her head, and left without another word.
Sugar and Mellie had witnessed the whole thing, and Mellie beamed with pride for her younger
sister. Not only had she given some great musical hints to the guys, but it was the first time she
hadn’t been mean to Justin since they’d met. Maybe there was hope for her after all.
