You walk out of the stage wearing a very familiar outfit. It was the same outfit you wore during the first show almost four years ago. The navy blue floral dress, black leather jacket and a pair of converse. The audience cheers as that has become a beloved outfit of yours.

"You guys having fun!"

The audience cheers as you chuckle.

"You know, this next song, I honestly didn't think you guys would love," you said as you rubbed the back of your neck.

"After all, I kind of just wrote this during the first show about 4 years ago. And this song kind of just wrote itself," you said as you gave a nervous side smile.

"I'm sure you guys can figure out what this song was inspired by," you chuckled nervously as the audience cheered.

The background lights then changed to a light red color. The music was starting to play as little hits of purple were fading in and out of the background. You closed your eyes as you adjusted your grip on the mic.

A million thoughts in my head
Should I let my heart keep listening
You slowly open your eyes

'Cause up 'til now I've walked the line
You place your hand over your heart

Nothing lost but something missing
You clench your hand over your heart

I can't decide
What's wrong, what's right
Which way should I go
You let go of your chest

If only I knew what my heart was telling me
You stomp your foot as the the background turns purple

Don't know what I'm feeling
You look at you hand
Is this just a dream?
Ah oh, yeah

If only I could read the signs in front of me
The background turns green

I could find the way to who I'm meant to be
Ah oh, if only
If only
If only

Every step, every word
You walk across the stage. The background changes colors on beat

With every hour I am falling in

Backstage, Johnny was sitting on the staircase as he looked at his closed fist.

To something new, something brave

"You okay man," Nico said as he nugged Johnny's shoulder

To someone I, I have never been

"I'm fine. Just thinking," Johnny said in a soft tone

I can't decide

"Hey big guy."

What's wrong, what's right

Johnny looked up to see Nooshy with a side smile as she gestured to the stage.

Which way should I go
Johnny lets out a smile as he watched you sing

If only I knew what my heart was telling me
He started to sing with you from backstage

Don't know what I'm feeling
Is this just a dream?
Ah oh, yeah
If only I could read the signs in front of me
I could find the way to who I'm meant to be
Ah oh, if only
Yeah
