hacked title number 14

I grinned then began to sing. I couldn't remember all the words, so I kept my voice low for this song, just singing it to Sam though others could probably hear if they were paying attention. I made up a few words and hummed what I couldn't remember, but mostly I got it all.

If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask you,
Would ya like that? Would ya like that?
And I don't mind
If you say
This love is the last time
So now I'll ask,
Do ya like that? Do ya like that?
No!

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place
In the diary of Jane
So, tell me
How it should be?

Try to find out
What makes you tick
As I lie down
Sore and sick
Do ya like that? Do ya like that?
There's a fine line
Between love and hate
And I don't mind
Just let me say,
That I like that, I like that

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place
In the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane
So tell me
How it should be?

Desperate I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there's no love
Die for anyone
What have I become?

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place
In the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane

Sam looked so thrilled as he recognized the song, mouthing the words along with True. "That was so good! I didn't know you liked Breaking Benjamin too!" He said when True had finished.

"I know that one song," I chuckled, pleased that he'd enjoyed it. "That is literally the only song I know by them."

Sam smiled. "That was still really good! I don't think I've someone play that good before, really!"

"Oh, now you're just flattering me," I grinned, touched. "Any requests for the next song? Knowing I may not know it?"

Sam shrugged. "Anything you want to play is fine." He said with a smile.

"Alright then," I grinned and started strumming a happy, light-hearted melody that was triumphant, but not in your face. It was genuine joy, and that's how I sang it with all my heart.

Another day, another excuse
Running from what I've been called to do
I put it off cause I'm too afraid
Always counting down to someday
Why do I feel so scared, so unprepared
When I know if I go, you're already there
I think it's finally time to stop the countdown

Chorus:
This is the day! I won't wait for someday, cause it never comes
This is the day! This life is not mine, and it never was
Time to make a change, time to start living
Not some other day, right this minute
I won't wait for someday, my life is yours
This is the day!

This is the day! I won't wait for someday, cause it never comes

This is the day! This life is not mine, and it never was
Time to make a change, time to start living
Not some other day, right this minute I won't wait for someday, my life is Yours
This is the day!

There's no time for standing still
Nothing happens if I wait until
It's too late, It's too late. I won't wait
So even if I don't feel prepared
Even if I gotta do it scared
I won't wait, I won't wait, No way

I won't wait for someday, cause it never ever comes
This life is not mine, and it never ever was

This is the day! I won't wait for someday, cause it never comes
This is the day! This life is not mine, and it never was
Time to make a change, time to start living
Not some other day, right this minute I won't wait for someday, my life is yours
This is the day!

A small crowd had gathered to listen by the end of it. Sam smiled happily. He didn't know the song, but liked how it sounded.

I finished with a flourish and bowed to Sam, not even really noticing the crowd, but I gave them a little wave when I did notice.

Some of them clapped, and a couple threw some pocket change in the case. Sam grinned happily at True. "What other songs do you know?"

"What kind would you like to hear?" I asked, thanking the ones who tipped.

Sam shrugged. "Again, I think anything would be fine. I liked the happier one you were just playing."

"You might like this one," I grinned and started up again.

Hey, hey
Hey, hey

In my rearview mirror
My life is getting clearer
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure
Life changes like the weather
You grow up, grow old, or you hit the road 'round here
So I drive (Drive, drive)
Watching white lines passing by
With my plastic dashboard Jesus
Waiting there to greet us

Hey, hey
I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
Yeah, I'm busting loose, I'm lettin' go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
I'm afraid of going back again
So I drive (Drive, drive)
Years and miles are flying by
And waiting there to greet us
Is my plastic dashboard Jesus

Hey, hey
I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
Yeah, I'm busting loose, I'm lettin' go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Oh patron saint of lonely souls
Tell this boy which way to go
Guide the car, you've got the keys
Farewell to mediocrity
Kicking off the cruise control
And turning up the radio
Got just enough religion
And a half a tank of gas
Come on
Let's go

I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
I'm busting loose, I'm lettin' go
When I'm out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
On this lost highway

Sam smiled and listened. This time, once the song ended, True had a slightly bigger crowd, and more money in his case.

I laughed and sang song after song, but as the day grew later, I finished up with one last song and pocketed the money, thanking everyone. Wow... Best haul I'd gotten in that short of time ever. I'd wait to count it, but I had to have more then $20! "Let's go get the little pup, shall we?" I grinned at Sam as I put everything away and started wheeling toward home.

Sam smiled happily and walked beside True. He talked with his friend, asking him when he decided to play guitar.

"I was.. 11, and I saw this beat up old guitar in a yard sale and bought it. The instant I held it, it felt right," I smiled.

Sam smiled. "That's really cool. Is it the same guitar, or a different one you have now?"

"A different one. The last one got broken, so I picked this one up at a pawn shop," I said. "It sang to me when I saw it and I had to have it."

Sam smiled. "That's still really cool. It's a pretty guitar."

"Thank you.". I pulled up in front of the lab and stopped. "I'll wait out here."

Sam nodded and ran in. Several minutes later, Sam returned with his dad.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked the doc, in a remarkably good mood. I spun my chair in a tight circle and stopped it to face the direction we needed to go in. "School, here we come!"

Gaster chuckled. "My my. You're in quite a chipper mood, True." He observed aloud. Sam smiled and told his dad about how True played at the park, and how people seemed to like hearing him play as well.

(I think since we're adding new characters, I''m going to switch True to third person. It's going to be weird with only one first person pov)

True grinned a little sheepishly. "I enjoy singing, and I like when I can make other people happy. It's a good feeling." Not to mention, I finally had, well, a Real dad. Even if it was just between us.
