It was a cold winter night and Garfield walked down the sidewalk. School ended hours ago, but he hadn't gone home yet. Although, it wouldn't be surprising
"Hey, Garfield."
Garfield turned around, seeing his best friend standing there behind him. "What's up, Rachel?"
"Do you mind if I join you?" She asked, white puffy clouds appearing out of her mouth.
Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walkin' down the street, and I hardly know you
it's just like we were meant to be
"Of course not," Garfield said. He turned back around with Rachel by his side.
They stayed quiet, enjoying the presents of each other. Garfield took her hand, knowing she was feeling bad, but Rachel felt uncomfortable so she let go.
"Sorry, just wanted to make you feel better," Garfield mumbled.
"It's fine. It's just not right since you have a girlfriend."
Holding hands with you when we're out at night
got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right
And I've got someone waiting too
The next day, Garfield and Rachel had swimming class in the morning. Garfield was playing pool basketball as Rachel and her friends were just lying in the tubes, spinning around in the deep end. Garfield couldn't help but turn his head and times and look at her.
What if this is just the beginning
we're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming
"Yo, Gar, watch out!"
Garfield turned his head and the basketball hit him, knocking Garfield backwards into the water. The girls on the deep end turned to look at the guys, seeing them trying to help someone out of the water. They finally pulled out Garfield and he gasped for air.
"What happened?" Garfield asked, rubbing the side of his head where the ball hit.
"Dude, what is the matter with you?" Victor asked, helping Garfield sit on the edge vent, "You haven't been in the game at all."
"I don't know," Garfield whispered, "Guess I've been too busy thinking about other things."
"What happened back there especially, you almost drowned and we're in the shallow end!" Richard added.
Garfield looked over at the girls who smiled, relaxing since Garfield was saved. Rachel raised her eyebrows, asking Garfield if he was ok. He nodded his head, looking back at Richard and Victor.
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
"Guess I just need to get my head back into the real world," He mumbled, jumping back into the water and swimming to the deep end where his friends looked at him, still a little worried.
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Garfield walked out of the pool area, walking with Richard and Victor until they said their goodbye and walked to class as Garfield waited for Tara. There was something he had to tell her and he couldn't wait until lunch.
"Hey, Gar, don't you think you should get to class?" Tara asked, walking out alone.
"There's something I want to tell you," Garfield said, "And I can't wait until later on."
"And what's that?"
"I want to break up with you."
"That's funny; I thought you said you wanted to break up."
Isn't this the best part of breakin' up
finding someone else you can't get enough of
someone who wants to be with you too?
"I did, Tara."
"Can I at least why you want to? I mean, was it something I did because I'll fix it!"
"No, you didn't do anything it's just that I just don't want to be with you anymore. I figured out feelings for someone else and it wouldn't be a great idea to be with you at the same time. Goodbye Tara." And with that, Garfield turned around and walked to class, leaving her standing there.
It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful
"You two were perfect! Why on Azar did you break up with her?" Rachel asked, standing in front of Garfield who was sloughed back on his green beanbag chair in their clubhouse after school.
"I just couldn't do take her anymore, ok?" Garfield said. "I didn't like her anymore."
Here we go; we're at the beginning
we haven't fucked yet, but my heads spinning
"What you two had was love, Gar, not just a crush."
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
"Why does it matter so much that I broke up with her?"
"You two were together for almost four years! Do you not understand how long that is?"
"It doesn't mean anything to me. I don't like her anymore, and that's the end of that."
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
Rachel sighed, she sat on her knees. "At least tell me who you like now?"
Garfield gulped. "Uh, no one, no one at all."
"Oh yeah? Then why did you tell me you were in love with someone else when we were walking here?"
"I didn't say I was in love with anyone! I said I had a baby crush."
"Oh because it's like there's a huge difference between the two."
High enough for you to make me wonder
Where it's goin'
High enough for you to pull me under
Something's growin'
out of this that we can control
Baby I am dyin'
"Rachel, trust me, its better if you don't know. Just let me day dream."
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
Rachel thought, having an evil grin on her face. Garfield started to freak out in his seat, what was she thinking?
"I think I know who you like," She finally spoke, the evil grin still on her face.
"No you don't!" Garfield yelled, "You don't know at all!"
"How do you know if I don't know?"
"Stop confusing me, I know that game you usually play just to get me to spill the name."
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
"Garfield, could this girl's name start with an R?"
"I'm not saying anything."
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?
"Does she have purple hair?"
"You're not going to hear anything from me."
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
"It's me, isn't it?"
"Ok! Ok, I admit it, it's you!" Garfield screamed, jolting up from his beanbag chair, "You're the girl of my dreams! You're the one I should have dated a long back! You're the one who made me drown in the pool today! It's all you!"
So tell me
"I knew it all along."
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?
"Oh, Robin, is it not just a gorgeous day?" Starfire asked. She and Robin were taking a break, holding hands and enjoying each other's comfort as they walked the streets of Jump City.
Just a day just an ordinary day
Just tryin to get by, just a boy
Just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky
Starfire was afraid that Robin would go out by himself, but she was glad when he asked her to come along. Not only that made Starfire knows he still loves her, she also knows that' he just needs time to think.
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That every day he finds
Just what he's looking for,
Like a shooting star he shines.
Robin took Starfire's hand. She looked up at him; he didn't want to do that sometimes in public. She respected how he felt uncomfortable.
Robin caught her staring at him and he shrugged. "Live while you can. You only live once." He said, looking ahead of him.
He said take my hand
Live while you can
don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
'I do not understand these sudden moods,' Starfire thought to herself, 'but perhaps I should not ask.'
And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
although they did not feel
for I felt what I had not felt before
and you'd swear those words could heal.
Robin turned his head, seeing his girlfriend still looking at him. He smiled, receiving one back from her. He turned his head back to face straight ahead, but Starfire felt as if her head was stuck. She couldn't help but still look at him.
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine.
And I know he's no stranger
for I feel I've held him for all of time.
"I think you're the one this time who's in deep thought," Robin commented, chuckling a little after.
"Oh, forgive me, I did not know," Starfire said, feeling her cheeks a little hot.
"Star, there's nothing to be sorry about. Everyone day dreams."
And he said take my hand
Live while you can
don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand.
"May I try something, Robin?" Starfire asked, stopping them both in the middle of the sidewalk.
"Sure, but what?"
Starfire didn't answer though; she took both of her hands and flew up to the sky, feeling the rush of the wind through her hair. Robin was taken by surprise at first, she didn't expect Starfire to take him up to the stars.
Please come with me
See what I see.
Touch the stars for time will not flee.
Time will not flee.
Can you see?
"Starfire, if you fly any higher, we'll reach space. If we reach space, I'm not going to be able to breathe."
"Yes, I am aware of that," Starfire said, "Trust me, Robin."
An airplane was heard ahead. Starfire didn't see it though, but Robin did. Before Robin could say anything, the airplane hit Starfire, knocking her backwards.
Starfire jumped up, screaming. When she finally stopped, she looked around her and saw she was in some white room she's never been in before.
Just a dream just an ordinary dream
as I wake in bed
and the boy, that ordinary boy
or was it all in my head?
"Starfire, I heard screaming, is everything alright?" Robin asked, running into the room.
"Robin, where am I?" Starfire asked.
"You're in the hospital."
"The hospital?" Starfire screamed, "Why and how did I get here?"
"You were hit by an airplane while you were practicing flying high in the air."
Did he ask if I would come along
it all seemed so real.
But as I looked to the door
I saw that boy standing there with a deal.
Starfire lied back on the bed, looking up. She saw the edge of the bandages on her forehead. Her head started to hurt so she closed her eyes and tried to relax.
Robin took her hand, "You should watch where you fly and how high you go up next time."
Starfire let out a little smile, just like Raven's.
And he said take my hand,
Live while you can,
Don't you see all your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand,
In the palm of your hand.
"Just like dream Robin said, live while you can," Starfire whispered.
"Dream Robin? That's very interesting."
"I believe the mean words are 'shut up'."
Just a day, just an ordinary day
just trying to get by
Just a boy
Just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky
