Prom night is supposed to be the best night for a lot of girls, but for Kelsi Neilson it just left her confused. Kelsi was dancing with her boyfriend of 13 months Jason Cross. Try as she might though she couldn't get that one thought out of her head. I mean Troy and Gabriella, Taylor and Chad, and Zeke and Sharpay have one, why not her and Jason. "Jase." Kesli whispered to her boyfriend. "Mhm." Jason replied. "Why don't we have a song?" Kelsi asked.
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the
front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering
wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio
down
He says baby is something wrong?
I say nothing I was just
thinking how we don't have a song
And he says...
(FLASHBACK)
Jason turned over to see his clock, it was flashing 11:28 pm, just 5 minutes laster than last time he looked. "Ugh." He thought. Jason reiliazed that sleep was a long ways off, he quickly got out of bed and slipped on a shirt. Jason quietly walked down the stairs. He opened the front door and cringed when it slammed shut. Stopping, to make sure no one heard Jason started running down the street. After, running for about 10 minutes Jason was at his destination.
Jason opened the gate and walked over to the bay window on the far side of the house. He looked in the room to see his girlfriend Kelsi Neilson. All he saw was a big lump in the bed. Laughing to himself Jason tapped on the window. The lump on the bed shifted but didn't wake up. Jason tapped again getting the same responds. Trying for a third time Jason was shocked to find the window open. 'Doesn't that girl know how to lock her window' he thought. Hearing the window open, Kelsi turned over and sat up. "Jase? Is that you? It's 11:45! What do you want?" Kelsi questioned. " You know you should really lock your window at night." Was all Jason said stepping into the room.

Our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin'
out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you
talk real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our
song is the way you laugh
The first date "man, I didn't kiss
her, and I should have"
And when I got home ... before I said
amen
(Flashback)
"Kelsi." Jason said in between kisses. " I… really… need… to go… now." Jason managed to get out. "5 more minutes." Kelsi mumbled. "It's already 11. I need to go." Jason said firmly. "Okay fine. I'll see you later." Kelsi said. Leaning in to give Kelsi one more quick kiss. "Bye baby." Jason said opening the window. "Hey, Jase." Kelsi called. Jason paused half way out the window and turned back to his girlfriend. " Be careful walking home. And call me when you get home. I wanna make sure your safe." Kelsi said. " Yes, ma'am." Jason said saluting and climbing out the window.
As Jason walked home he thought about how Kelsi had changed. She had become more confident, more independent. But at the same time Jason thought laughing she's still that shy composer that he first met. Realiazing he just walked past his house, Jason doubled about and ran up the steps. Looking at his watch he saw it was 11:20 and he realized his parents were asleep. He quickly opened the door and ran to his room. Pausing once inside his bedroom, he breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't hear anything.
Jason grabbed his phone and pressed 1. Waiting for the phone to pick up, Jason looked out the window. "Hey, I was beginning to think you'd never call." Kelsi's voice snapped him out of his trance. "Yeah sorry, kinda missed the house." Jason whispered. "Only you Jase." Kelsi said. "Yeah." Jason replied. " Jase, why are you whispering?" Kelsi asked. " Well, my mom thinks I'm asleep and never left the house." Jason said. Kelsi just started to laugh.

I was waling up the front steps after everything that dayHad gone all wrong and been trampled on
And lost and thrown away.
Got down the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the rose
And the note that said…
(Flashback)
"Hey Kels." Jason said catching up with her in the hallway. Ever since the triple win day Jason had a crush on Kelsi. "Oh hey Jason." Kelsi said. "Can I asked you something?" Jason said. That was it, he was finally going to ask her. " Sure." Kelsi replied. "Would you like to go out with me tonight?" Jason asked nervously. " Umm… yeah. Sure." Kelsi said. " Great I'll pick you up at 8?" At Kelsi's nod Jason ran off down the hall way to try and get to class before the bell rang.
After the date"I had a lot of fun tonight Jason." Kelsi said. The two were just sitting on the swing on Kelsi's front porch. " I'm glad. I wasn't sure what'd you'd like." Jason replied. He had taken Kelsi iceskating, hoping she would like it. "No, it was great." Kelsi said. Kelsi's mom started flashing the light's signaling it was time to come in. " I gotta go in now." Kelsi said. " Okay well I'll see you tomorrow then?" Jason questioned. "Yeah." Kelsi replied. "Okay, see you then." Jason said, walking back to his Jeep.
Only when Jason was pulling in his driveway, did he realize he should of kissed Kelsi. Jason dropped his head to the steering wheel and laid it there. He pulled out his phone and called Zeke. " What's up dude." Zeke said answering his phone. "Man, I messed up." Jason replied. " Whatcha ya do, make Kelsi fall thru the ice?" Zeke joked. " Na man, something worse. I didn't kiss her." Jason said. Zeke immediately stopped laughing. "Man that's messed up. I even kissed Sharpay on the first date." Zeke said. "I know, I know. What do I do man." Jason asked. " Kiss her tomorrow dude." Was Zeke's only reply.
(End Flashback.)
I've heard every album, listened to the
radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as
our song...
"Jase, you okay?" Kelsi asked. "Huh, what. Oh yeah. Just thinking." Jason replied. Kelsi leaned up and gave Jason a soft kiss on the lips. Jason tightened his grip on Kelsi waist pulling her closer. Kelsi broke the kiss and rested her head on his chest. " Did I tell you how beautiful you looked tonight?" Jason asked. Kelsi blushed and mumbled a quiet 'thank you.'
"I was thinking about your question babe." Jason said suddenly. "Really?" Kelsi asked. "Yeah, and I think we do have a song." Jason replied. "Oh do we, oh wise one?" Kelsi said. " Yep." Replied Jason." " Care to share, what your guenious mind has come up with." Kelsi asked. " I was think back on everything and realized…" Jason started.
Cause our song is the slamming screen
door
Sneaking out late, tapping on his window
When we're on the
phone and he talks real slow
Cause it's late and his mama don't
know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date "man, I
didn't kiss him, and I should have"
And when I got home,
before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
"Baby, that's our song." Jason whispered in Kelsi's ear.
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat
of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I wrote down
our song
