Look at you
Look at me, there's never any us
Can't you see
All we can become
We can shine like the sun
If we believe that 2 stars are brighter than one
Come on, come on, come on... look at you
Come on, come on, come on... look at me
I wrote 2 Stars as a plea to the one person in my life I wanted to reach the most. You. I could never tell you how many times I have sang this very song in the shower, while lying in bed, even while eating, so that the food falls right out of my mouth and back onto the plate; that's how we are you know. No matter how hard I try, or how little you do, we always end back up on the plate having gotten chewed up, hurt, and ultimately nowhere. Often times I sit at stare at pictures and posters of you that I have ripped from magazines. I talk to them sometimes; I know it's crazy, especially because they never talk back. Just like you. However, unlike you, they're here. I can put the picture in front of my face and not have to try and piece you together from my memory.
Just to let you know, every line of my song is a request to you in one-way or another. I've hidden them in ordinary stanzas hoping someday you'll hear it and be able to crack the code. You're a musician… so this should be easy. Maybe that's what you have needed all along… easy. I'm not easy; I'm "difficult."
You're going to hear my little letter of desperation tonight, at Final Jam. All eyes are going to be on me, but most importantly: you're eyes will be on me. Maybe I'll finally be able to win you over, win your love, your attention, win one moment where I feel like we have a normal relationship; or any relationship at all.
Tonight is all about you, just as our entire lives have always been.
Come on, come on, come on… look at you.
We're stars baby, you and I. We shine brilliantly alone, just imagine what we could do, could be, put together.
The final line, my final plea to you: my mother.
Come on, come on, come on… look at ME.
After all, 2 Stars are brighter than one.
A/N- My first Tess Tyler piece. I havealways thought that this song was about her mother, so I decided to give her point of view with it. I'm not sure about this story though. It didn't really come out the way I planned, and I can't seem to convert the story in my head to words on a page. But it is what it is. I would love to hear what you all think of this. There are so many talented authors in the Tess fandom, and I would love to hear from you all. Praise, or flames I want to hear it because I want to be a better writer.
