She said
let's change our luck
This night is all we've got
Drive fast
until we crash
This dead end life
"Come one, Dougie! We need to get out this town. It's nothing."
"Mikala, this is where I grew up. I can't just pick up and move across the world."
"Dougie, you have to let it go. You're not the same anymore. Please, just...do this for me...Please?"
Dougie shook his head, stood, and exited the room. Leaving a teary eyed girlfriend sat upon his couch.
Sweet
dreams that won't come true
I'd leave it all for you
Brick
walls are closing in
Let's make a run tonight
She
gathered her composure, and followed him into the kitchen to find him
drinking at two in the afternoon.
"Dougie, please. Why do you want to stay here so bad? There's nothing here for us."
He shook his head, slamming the bottle of vodka down on the counter.
"Because maybe I like it here! Maybe I have memories here, Mikala! I don't want to just leave all that!" He spit.
The brunette inched her way closer to her lover, taking his hand in hers.
"But don't you want to make new memories with me? We could do that in London. We could do that, Dougie. Don't you want that?"
Blinded by the
lights
Hold you through forever
Won't let you go
Dougie's
gaze dropped from her eyes to the floor.
Of course that's what he
wanted, but he didn't want to leave the only thing he had of his
childhood behind. His parents died two years back in a car accident,
and all his friends have moved on. All he had left was his childhood
house.
His eyes met with his girlfriend's.
Cause if you
jump
I will jump too
We will fall together
From the
building's ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll
say it was love
Cause I would die for you
On skyway avenue
"Of course I want to make new memories with you. I love you, Mikala."
Her eyes teared as she pulled him into the most loving kiss she could muster with all the tears in her eyes.
"I love you too, Dougie. So let's do it. Let's leave, and start a new." She smiled at him, never letting her hands leave his.
She
said don't change your mind
Let's leave this town behind
We'll
race right off the cliff
They will remember thisThey
sat in the middle of the bedroom foor, packing, laughing, and
reminicing.
Dougie lets a tear run down his face.
Mikala cups his cheek with her hand, whiping the tear away.
"I'm going to miss this place too, you know. We're going through this together, do you hear me? You're not alone in this."
Dougie
nodded his head, taking her hand off of his cheek, and into his
grasp.
It all got so mundane
With you I'm back
again
Just take me by the hand
We're close to the edgeThey
look back at the house one last time, and climb into the car.
The
ride to the airport is silent, but not tencious.
Soft music plays
from the radio as Dougie takes one last look at the town he's been in
since birth.
She looks over at him.
"We're doing it,
Dougie. We're commiting to a huge thing. It will be amazing, I
promise."
He stares straight forward, not wanting to look
away from the road, and nods.
"I'm really glad I agreed to
this. I'm ready."
He glances at her, giving her a warm
smile.
Blinded by the lights
Hold you through
forever
Won't let you goThey hear the last call for
the plane.
Mikala looks at the blonde sitting in the waiting
chair still.
"That's us, babe. You ready for this?"
He looks at her, smiles, and nods.
"More ready then you'll ever know."
With that, he stands infront of her, bending
down on one knee, reviling a small square case.
He opens the case
to reviel a small dimond ring glistening.
"Mikala, Will you marry me?"
Where are your guts to fly
Soaring
through, through the night
And if you take that last step
I'll
follow you
Leave the edge and fly
We're finally aliveShe
jumps into his arms.
"Of course I will! Dougie, I love you so much."
He picks her up, carrying her to the plane.
"Mr. and Mrs. Poynter... Has a ring to it." Dougie smirks.
Mikala hugs him tight, unable to stop smiling. This is all she's ever wanted.
Cause if you jump
I will
jump too
We will fall together
From the building's ledge
Never
looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love
Cause I
would die for you
On skyway avenue
They sit in
the middle of the bedroom, unpacking, laughing, reminicing.
Dougie
looks up at his fiance.
"What are you looking at?" She asks.
"Just the most amazing person I've ever had in
my life."
She smiles, pulling out a picture of them from
years before.
"We're gonna make it here. I just know it." She smiles, putting the picture on the nightstand.
So
what's left to prove
We have made it through
