Hickory is starting at Delta from a distance. He sighs to himself as he watches  her tuning her guitar. Dickory came over to see a flustered Hickory. He snaps his fingers in front of his face but he is still in his daze. He then waves his hand in front of him but that doesn't work either. Finally, he slaps him in the face.

"Oww!" Hickory exclaimed. "What was that for?"

"Just let her know how you feel man!" Dickory yelled.

Delta over heard and looked behind her. Hickory panicked and quickly hid him and Dickory underneath a table. Delta shrugs and continues tuning her guitar.

"How can I if all my words are more tangled than vines from a rain forest," Hickory said.

Dickory sighed.
"I know I'm not the one when it comes to romance or any soft stuff in general but...sometimes the greatest way to say something is to say nothing at all."

"What the heck are you talking about?" Hickory asked. "How else is she supposed to know."

Hickory face palmed and groaned.
"Just hear me out."

Dickory: She doesn't really know all about your direction

Dickory points at Delta.

And in your heart somewhere, You wanna be there
But you don't go there

Everybody says, "say something"
Say something, say something
Then say something, say something, then say something

"That's exactly what they all say," Hickory said.

Dickory out his finger on Hickory's mouth.

But you don't wanna get caught up in the rhythm of it

"No, I don't,😔" Hickory said.

But you can't help yourself, no, you can't help yourself, no, no
Caught up in the middle of it
No, you can't help yourself, no, you can't help yourself, no, no, no
Caught up in the rhythm of it

Maybe you're looking for something you can't have

"Gee, thanks for the encouragement, Dickory😑," Hickory said sarcastically.

Maybe you're looking for something you can't have

Hickory sighed. And imagined a vision of Delta next to him.

Hickory:  She don't even know all about my transgressions
Still in my heart somewhere,
there's melody and harmony
For her and me, tonight

The vision disappears. Hickory frowns and places his hands over his heart.

Hickory: But now she calls my name
Everybody says, "say something"
Say something, say something
Then say something, say something, then say something

I don't want to get caught up in the rhythm of it
But I can't get help myself, no, I can't help myself, no, no
Caught up in the middle of it
No, I can't help myself, no, I can't help myself, no, no, no
Caught up in the rhythm of it

Dickory joins him.

Dickory: Maybe you're looking for something you can't have

Hickory: maybe I'm looking for something I can't have

Dickory: Maybe you're looking for something you can't have
Hickory: maybe I'm looking for something I can't have

Dickory: Maybe you're looking for something you can't have
