Christian threw his head back as he drank from the bottle of water Spud had just thrown to him. This whole band thing was pretty neat - he was starting to think of taking up the music workshop and do art in the early morning. But one thing at a time for now...
He cleared his throat as he stepped up to the microphone in preparation for their fourth song.
"Now, I know this isn't exactly standard procedure," Christian began as Daniel got a smug look on his face.
"But we can all see the cameras around, right?"
There were some affirmative calls from their audience.
"So obviously, this is being recorded. And I'm not talking on behalf of the band or anything, but if the person manning these tapes could in anyway forward this next song onto a particular female retired agent, I personally would be very appreciative."
He turned to the band.
"Let's go," he grinned.
Shane rolled his eyes as he sat his drum sticks on his lap and Spud drifted his fingers over the keys.
I'm finding my way back to sanity, again
Though I don't really know what
I am gonna do when I get there
Take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back in the arms of grace
I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be
I am looking past the shadows
Of my mind into the truth and
I'm trying to identify
The voices in my head
God, which one's you?
Let me feel one more time
What it feels like to feel
And break these calluses off me
One more time
'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside your door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be
I don't want a thing from you
Bet you're tired of me waiting
For the scraps to fall
Off your table to the ground
I just want to be here now
'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside your door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be yeah...
