can’t stop
I’m drowning
I need your love to save me now.
I just can’t stop
I’m drowning in you.
“That’s really good,” She says with a frown. “I think it needs something in between your kiss and I just can’t stop. What about this?”
She takes the note book back from me and in between your touch, your kiss and I just can’t stop she writes.
If only she would disappear
You’d see my love
For you is here
And you’d be forever
In my arms.
“Great job,” I say. “I can’t believe we wrote that so quickly. Let’s take this in to Collin.”
I stand up and hold my hand out to Cath. She grabs ahold of it tightly and I pull her up to her feet. She stands there staring down at her hand inside mine.
“You okay?” I ask.
“Uh, yeah fine. Just thinking.” She quickly removes her hand from mine and wipes it on her pants.
“We make you good team. We should write more songs together.” She says, smiling at me.
“Yeah, definitely. Anytime.”
“I’ll remember you said that.”
We walk up to Collin’s office together and show him the lyrics we wrote. He nods his head as he is reading them.
“Drums, guitar and bass?” He asks.
I nod. “Might sound good with a little piano too.”
Collin hands me back the lyrics. “Take this to Domino and Bash. They are in the control room for studio B. You can work everything out with them. Good job you two.”
I nod to Collin as I turn towards the door. I glance over at Cath once we are in the hallway. “I think this song is going to sound amazing with Noah and Ann’s vocals.”
“Yeah, they’ll be great,” Cath sounds distant and I can’t help but wonder why. “What’s your girlfriend like?”
She catches me off guard. “Abby? She’s amazing. She’s beautiful and sexy and incredibly supportive. She lets me be me. It doesn’t matter what nonsense I get myself into. She’s always by my side. What about you? Do you have a boyfriend?”
“No, no boyfriend. I’m completely, totally single...what does your girlfriend do?” Cath asks as we reach studio B.
“She’s a baker. She’s about to open her own bakery.”
I grab onto the door handle and open up the door, allowing her to walk through first. Domino and Bash are sitting in the control room watching something on the telly.
“Collin told me to bring this down to you guys.” I say handing Domino the lyrics.
He nods his head as he reads the lyrics. “This is good. Why don’t you guys go in there and lets work on this some more. I’d like to hear it with the instruments added in if you don’t mind.”
“Not a problem.” I say.
Cath and I walk into the sound booth. She picks up one of Dean’s guitars as I settle myself down on the stool in front of my drums.
“Go ahead.” Bash tells us.
“Okay, here’s what I was thinking.” Cath says.
She starts strumming on the guitar in her hands. I let her play a couple of notes before I start drumming to match her beat and tone.
“Keep playing.” Bash says through the intercom.
The door to the sound booth opens and Jack, Noah and Ann walk in. Jack grabs his bass and starts playing along with us. Noah and Ann sit down together on the piano bench. Noah has the lyrics in his hand and Ann is reading them over his shoulder as she starts singing the first verse. Noah joins in singing with her as she reaches the chorus.
By the time they finish the chorus, we seem to have a pretty good rhythm going together. The song finishes and we glance around at each other, huge smiles forming on our faces.
“You wrote that?” Noah asks looking at me.
“It was mostly Cath actually.” I admit.
Noah nods his head. “That is pretty good. It looks as though we have our first collaborative song.”
“Cath’s good,” Ann says. “She writes the majority of our stuff.”
“That’s because she’s got the darkest mind.” Marie says as she and Dean walk into the sound booth.
“I’m just a deep thinker.” Cath says as an odd frown
