Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back
Like a wake up call
Phil sat at his window. It wasn't supposed to be this way round. He was supposed to be the one leaving. Not Keely.
But ever since he had blabbed to the world that he was from the future, Keely and him, had broken apart. But he hadn't wanted that. He hadn't wanted her to be pushed away. Always left out of the crowd, always pushed away whenever she tried to get close.
And then, her mom got a job offer in New York, and now, they were moving there. And he couldn't figure out why his heart felt broken.
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know
And then he realised. It was because he had loved her. He had loved her from day one, but friendship seemed like the easy answer.
And he knew what he had to do.
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world
Has twice as many stars in the sky
He flung open his door and pelted down the stairs.
"Phil? Where are you going?" His mom called from the kitchen, surprised to see her son in such a hurry.
Phil didn't slow down. "To do something I should have done a long time ago."
He ran out into the rain, and cameras of the paparazzi that had surrounded hi house ever since they had found out went off. Phil fought past them, and ran down the street, closely followed by the photographers.
But he didn't care. He had to reach Keely in time.
It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
'Cause of you,
Made it through every storm
What is life, what's the use if you're killing time
Keely walked out of the house that she had lived in since she was a baby. She was under a huge umbrella, and as she turned to look back at the house, her mom sighed. She hadn't wanted to move so soon, but this job offer came once in a lifetime.
Keely shook her head. She wished she could have seen Phil before she left, but she couldn't get more than ten feet near to him. Ever since he had told.
But she was happy he had. She knew it was a huge burden on him, keeping the secret; it was hard for her as well. And so, she was glad he no longer had to hide. Not that he could. They followed him around 24/7. She had managed to tell him she was leaving over the phone. Not the way you want to tell your true love goodbye.
She turned and got in the car.
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes
Phil's feet pounded against the street, the yells of the photographers, plus a few that sounded like his family behind him. But he couldn't stop. He had to get there in time.
Nothing else mattered. For him, everything else in the future didn't matter. Keely was his past, his present and his future.
He rounded the corner onto her street, just as the car began to move away.
"Keely!"
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world
Has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live
Keely's head whipped round in the car, and she saw Phil, standing there, breathing heavily. "Stop the car!"
"But honey, we need to go," her mom insisted.
The car rounded the corner, and Keely banged on the window of the taxi. "Stop this car!"
Before the car had come to a complete stop, Keely was out.
"But honey, you'll get soaked!" Mrs. Teslow cried.
"I don't care!" Keely yelled, as she slammed the door, and ran back to where Phil had been standing.
He had turned away. He had almost given up.
Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always
One last look. That's all he did. He had one last look.
And in that one look, he saw her. Soaked, her hair sticking to her face, her mascara running, her clothes weighed down with water, but a huge smile on her face.
And she ran up to him.
And then she kissed him.
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world
Has twice as many stars in the sky
And the world stopped.
The flashing cameras around them, blurred into one huge white light.
It was like they were spinning, moving out of this world.
And in that moment, they both regretted everything.
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world
Has everything I need to survive
"I need to go," Keely said.
Phil frowned. "Really? You have to?"
"Yes. I'm sorry. I wish I didn't. But I can't live on my own until I'm 18. And until then, my mom is living in New York. I'm so sorry Phil. I love you. I always have. I wanted to tell you, but with all of this, I never got the chance. And I regret not telling you. Because if I had told you, maybe none of this would have ever happened," Keely sobbed.
Phil held her hands. "Keels. I love you. And I'll visit you. In New York, whenever I can. I promise."
"Really?" Keely sniffed.
Phil nodded, trying not to cry himself. "I promise."
And with one last kiss, she was gone, back to the car.
And Phil was left standing in the rain, wishing he had had more time.
Because you live, I live,
I live
