New York State of Mind (A Ryder Lynn Love Story)

Chapter 3 ~ Wonderwall

I came, I saw, tore down these walls
Block one way, I’ll find another
You know you’ll always be discovered
If it’s me, you choose, I can’t lose
I’m in love with you if you love me too, yeah

Casey is staring at me as he sings. I sit their awkwardly and Ryder puts his arm over my shoulder in a protective boyfriend way.

Don’t ever change, and I’ll stay the same
We’ll be swimming in the same direction
And we’ll never lose this connection
Nothing they can do can stop this army of two
We’re marching to the future, yeah, it’s me and you

So just follow my lead, repeat after me
Our faith is the bullet, hope is the gun
And love is all we need
Now fear’s on the run
We’ve already won
Now march with the band, raise your right hand
We’ve only just begun

I took a vow to never let you down
When it’s us, there ain’t no competition
I can be the star on which you’re wishing
I never doubted for a moment it’s true
I love all of you if you love me too, yeah

Don’t ever change, and I’ll stay the same
We’ll be swimming in the same direction
And we’ll never lose this connection
Nothing they can do can stop this army of two
We’re marching to the future, yeah, just me and you

So just follow my lead, repeat after me
Our faith is the bullet, hope is the gun
And love is all we need
Now fear’s on the run
We’ve already won
Now march with the band, raise your right hand
We’ve only just begun

Only just begun, only just begun, only just begun

So don’t ever change, and I’ll stay the same
We’ll be swimming in the same direction
And we’ll never lose this connection
Nothing they can do can stop this army of two
'Cause we’re marching to the future, it’s me and you

So just follow my lead, repeat after me
Our faith is the bullet, hope is the gun
And love is all we need
Now fear’s on the run
We’ve already won
Now march with the band, raise your right hand
We’ve only just begun

It’s the moment of truth, I’m counting on you
This army of two have only just begun
It’s the moment of truth, I’m counting on you
This army of two have only just begun

Everyone claps for Casey as he bows, smiles and takes his seat. He looks at Ryley as he sits down, sending her a sweet smile.
After a couple more people have performed after being randomly selected by Mr Sanchez, it's Ryley's turn. She takes a seat at the piano and begins to play a song that's always been a favourite of hers.

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow 

Ryder is the loudest clapping and he stands up for his girlfriend, half smiling in the adorable way that he does. Casey just stays sitting but he's clapping pretty enthusiastically too.
"That was great, Ms Bridges. You are quite the talent." Mr Sanchez says, clapping.
"Thank you, sir." Ryley says, taking her seat next to Ryder.
After a while, Ryder is up and tells the band what song he's going to sing. He then smiles at Ryley and sings when the band start.

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me 

Ryley is the loudest clapping this time. Ryder smiles at her. Casey is clapping for Ryder but not happily. He's only clapping because he has to.
