Brady POV
Right now I'm sitting in front of a piano with Boomer, Boz, Mikayla, Mason, and Lanny watching me because they want to see if I really can play the piano or if I was bluffing. I really do know how but they don't believe me so I'm going to sing a song I wrote from when I first met Mikayla called Waiting Outside The Lines. Of course I'm not going to say it's about her I'm just going to sing it. Well, here goes!
You'll never enjoy your life,
living inside the box
You're so afraid of taking chances,
how you gonna reach the top?
Mikayla is never going to be able to get out and enjoy her life if she is always under Mason's wing. She is just so afraid of trying to break out and get in trouble that she is never going to reach the top and be able to have a normal teenager life. Well at least as normal as you can be since she knows how to use a machete.
Rules and regulations,
force you to play it safe
Get rid of all the hesitation,
it's time for you to seize the day
All of Mason's rules force Mikayla to play it safe and not be able to reach out a lot. I mean she had only ever had one boyfriend and he is the only person besides me who has ever won the hunt. What Mikayla needs to do is to get rid of all the hesitation she has about breaking free and do it. She needs to seize the day!
Instead of just sitting around
and looking down on tomorrow
You gotta let your feet off the ground,
the time is now
Mikayla needs to stand up and face her dad instead of just sitting there looking down because she can't do anything tomorrow or any day really. She needs to get her feet off the ground and spread her wings. It's her time to shine.
I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting,
I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
I'm waiting for Mikayla to get out of the box, step outside the lines. Until she does that she won't ever truly be happy. Not when she always has a watchful eye on her at least. I'm waiting for her to break free.
Try to have no regrets
even if it's just tonight
How you gonna walk ahead
if you keep living blind
If she would try to be free for one night, for her to not have any regrets at all for a night she would discover how awesome it is to live your life instead of sitting around all day. How is she ever going to go ahead if she is blind and still in the same spot always. How will she ever figure out that she is in love with me if she won't even try to date who she wants to date! *cough me cough*
Stuck in the same position,
you deserve so much more
There's a whole world around us,
just waiting to be explored
She is still stuck in the same position she has been in for years. I mean really! Boomer and I had to have a contest so we could get her a best friend! She deserves so much more and to be able to live her life. She works hard enough and she is a teenager! The whole world is waiting to be explored by her but she never can seem to break free so she can explore it!
Instead of just sitting around
and looking down on tomorrow
You gotta let your feet off the ground,
the time is now, just let it go
If Mikayla will for one day get up instead of sitting around get up and explore, go have fun with people her age, get her mind off of her work, and just relax then she would be so much happier. She needs to let her feet off of the ground and spread her wins so that she can break out of her shell she has lived in for probably most of her life. She just needs to let loose for a day. She might find she actually enjoys it!
Don't wanna have to force you to smile
I'm here to help you notice the rainbow
Cause I know,
What's in you is out there
I don't want to have to force Mikayla to smile. All she needs is a little bit of fun and to stop worrying about everything else. I'm going to make it my personal goal to help her see the rainbow that is life! I know she has it in her she is just afraid to let it loose!
I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting,
I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
I'm waiting for her to come to her senses and break out of her shell. I'm in between the lines and she will never reach me unless she comes out of the lines. Until she does I will keep Waiting Outside The Lines.
I'm trying to be patient (I'm trying to be patient)
the first step is the hardest (the hardest)
I know you can make it,
go ahead and take it
I really am trying to be patient with her and give her time to try to break free herself but even then my patience is starting to grow thin and I might have to help her do break free. The first step of leaving your guardians wing is always the hardest step and if she wants me to help her I will but she has to ask me. I know Mikayla can do it she just has to take the chance!
I'm Waiting, waiting, just waiting I'm waiting
I'm waiting, waiting, just waiting
I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
You'll never enjoy your life
Living inside the box
You're so afraid of taking chances,
How you gonna reach the top?
Until Mikayla Makoola will both to step outside of the box, I Brady Parker will keep Waiting Outside The Lines.
As I played the last notes I looked up everyone's faces. They all looked shocked. Why aren't they saying anything? Was I really that bad? I thought I sounded pretty good. Everyone then burst into applause and Boomer boasted, "I told you he could sing awesome and play the piano!" I smiled at all of my friends. Mikayla seems lost in thought though. Is she thinking over the song? I hope so. She does deserve to live her life outside of the lines.
Brady POV (Again….)
After I sang Waiting Outside The Lines for them yesterday they want me to play them something on the guitar so now I have to come up with a new song. Hmm. Let's see. Mikayla doesn't seem to believe when I say she is beautiful so I'll call it What Makes You Beautiful. That could work! Now to write the song…
You're insecure,
Don't know what for,
You're turning heads when you walk through the door,
Don't need make-up,
To cover up,
Being the way that you are is enough,
Mikayla is very insecure. I'm not entirely sure why though. Every time she walks into the room, everyone's heads turn so they can admire her beauty. She doesn't need any make-up to cover herself up. She is beautiful without the make-up. Her being her is enough to make me fall for her.
Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you,
Everyone else can see her beauty so why can't she? Mikayla is the only person who can't see her true beauty on the inside and out.
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
That's what makes you beautiful
Mikayla lights up my world like no one else I have met before. When she flips her hair to get it out of her face I'm always overwhelmed. The only thing is when she smiles at the ground I can tell she doesn't know that she is beautiful. If she could only see my point of view of her she would know she is beautiful and why I want her so much. I honestly can't believe she doesn't know she is beautiful. She is beautiful because she doesn't know she is beautiful.
So c-come on,
You got it wrong,
To prove I'm right,
I put it in a song,
I don't know why,
You're being shy,
And turn away when I look into your eye eye eyes,
Mikayla has it wrong on what she thinks of herself. She is beautiful but she won't believe me. So in order to prove to her I am right about her being beautiful I'm putting it into this song. I don't know why Mikayla can be so shy. She is usually a little forward like when I was Sirocco. She always turns away when I look into her beautiful eyes.
Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you,
Mikayla is the only one doesn't see her beauty. When she walks in everyone stops and can't help but to admire her overall amazingness. Why can't she see that?
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
Mikayla can light up my world by just walking into the room and she is the only person that can do that. When flips her hair to get it out of her face I start to become overwhelmed by her beauty. Sometimes when I go up to talk to her Mikayla always smiles down at the ground and won't look me in the eye. She doesn't know she's beautiful is the only reason why she does that I can think of. If she could only see my point of view of her she would know she is beautiful and why I want her so much. I just can't seem to get my head around why she doesn't know any of this!
That's what makes you beautiful
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Mikayla lights up my world even if she doesn't believe when I tell her that. If I'm in the room and she flips her hair I can't help but be start struck by her beauty. When a guy comes up to her she will talk to them but she always looks at the ground.
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful (Oh),
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately (desperately),
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
That's what makes you beautiful
Mikayla Makoola is truly beautiful even if she won't believe me when I tell her that. If she could only see my point of view of her she would know she has beauty inside and out and that's why I love her. When she looks at the ground and im talking to her I always lift her head up and look her in the eyes to show her I mean every word I say. I [promise that I will show Mikayla her beauty no matter how long it takes.
Alright! The song is done! Now to find everyone and to once again prove my awesomeness at music! Oh wait I need my guitar! Hmm. Wish me luck!

Lots of Hugs,
