The Other Year

Talking

I was lying in bed, just staring at the wall when my phone rang scaring me. I answer it.

"Loren here."

"Hey its JC."

"Oh hey you."

"You wanted to talk."

"Yeah. You and I need to sing together. I want to see what you can do."

"Okay cool. When do we do this?" He asks.

"Oh honey, meet me in the parking garage in 20. Bring your guitar." I hang up and begin to find a song. I print the lyrics and walk to the parking garage.

"Hey JC, I have the lyrics."

"You going to play?" I nod and he hands me the guitar.

"You ready?" I ask, he nods so I begin playing.

[JC]
All the strings attached girl
All the strings attached girl, oh yeah

[Loren]
Met this boy when I was three years old
We were holding hands tight so I'm told
And it felt like an eternity
Said it felt like an eternity
'Cause I knew back then we were more than friends
Two sided story it all depends
And I'll said it once, and I'll say it again
It'll only end up hurting me

[JC]
Years flew by I was less than twelve
Long division I need your help
Can you come on over and work with me
Anytime you like I'll make it work for me
'Cause I knew back when if we get too close
When the time is right maybe I'll propose
Baby climb on up, show me the ropes

[Both]
Darling I want all the strings attached
I love it when you look at me like that
And you're the only girl that brings me back
'Cause baby I want all the strings attached
It's like always and forever
I won't let a moment pass
And when I'm with you I feel better
I want all the strings, all the strings attached

[JC]
All the strings attached girl
All the strings attached girl, mmm yeah

[Loren]
So come on boy let me hold your hand
Let's go get lost, live without a plan
And I know you've got the world to see
But you know you mean the world to me
And I know right now you got second thoughts
Do whatever it takes, pay whatever the cost yeah

[JC]
You know me, not the type of guy
To stick around, to do the time
But you must have me hypnotized
I'm d-d-d-down to be by your side
Every night

[Both]
Darling I want all the strings attached
I love it when you look at me like that
And you're the only girl that brings me back
'Cause baby I want all the strings attached
It's like always and forever
I won't let a moment pass
And when I'm with you I feel better
I want all the strings

[Loren]
And baby when you fall down, I fall too
And if you get lost, then I'll get lost with you
And when the waves crash down
Then baby I won't move
'Cause I need

[JC]
All the strings attached
I love it when you look at me like that
And you're the only girl that brings me back
'Cause baby I want all the strings attached
It's like always and forever
I won't let a moment pass
