Øn yøur mind // Tyler Joseph

Years

At Tyler's house we popped open sparkling cider, me recording everything with my super cool camcorder. His family was back from vacation, and they didn't suspect a thing of us, when we held hands.

His family was getting along great, Zack giving me some old candy cane as my late Christmas gift apparently. Tyler rolled his eyes at that.

"Rowan dear, what's your New Years resolution?" Mrs. Joseph smiled at me.

"Um, to graduate this year with good grades and to get accepted into a good college!"

"Smart gal." She sipped her champagne and clinked glasses with Mr. Joseph. They were too cute.

"Mom, Rowan and I are going upstairs!" Tyler dragged me up and I slowed, these heels killing me.

"Ugh slow down man."

He shut the door behind him and locked it.

"Be a doll and hand me my ukulele?" He asked and pointed, he got that for Christmas.

"Learn any songs yet?" I sat cross-legged near him.

"Well actually... I'm trying to learn Elvis and stuff, but I learned one by The Foundations." He grinned through his slightly crooked teeth, his childish smile made my heart melt, he was perfect in my eyes.

Every flaw he saw, my brain etched out the word 'perfections' and he now picked up an instrument. How great was this guy?

"Hmm, what's the song called?"

"Why don't I just sing it for you?" He began and I nodded excitedly. I tried to sing at the school's choir, I didn't see it as my future career. But never in my life have I heard athlete Tyler Joseph sing.

"Sing away babe!" His cheeks rose to a dimpled smile, a blush on them.

Clearing his throat as he began.

"Why do you build me up
Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down
and mess me around
And then worst of all
you never call, baby
When you say you will
but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
Buttercup, don't break my heart.

I'll be over at ten,
you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again

Baby, baby, try to find
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

You know that I have from the start
So build me up
Buttercup, don't break my heart.

To you I'm a toy, but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so

Baby, baby, try to find
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
