Top Song Defense

"Slide" - The Goo Goo Dolls
Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'd give you anythin'
To feel it comin'

Do you wake up on your own?
And wonder where you are
You live with all your faults

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Yeah I'm gonna let it slide

Don't you love the life you killed
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you

Don't supposed I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
Somethin' I can't change
I'll live around it

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Slide

And I'll do anythin'
You ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall

Oh May
Put your arms around me
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]

What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh May
Do you wanna get married
Or run away?

And I'll do anythin'
You ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall

Oh May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh May
Do you wanna get married
Or run away?

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all

And I'll do anythin'
You ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall

And I'll do anythin'
You ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall

Yeah, slide between the sheet
Of all the beds you never knew
Why don't you slide into my room
Just slide into my room
Oh, we'll run away, run away, run away

Short Story
“Love Story” -Taylor Swift

    Living in such a wealthy popular family was often tough for a girl like Julia Stoleman. Constantly trying to live up to standards and keep her parents proud was one of the most stressful things that happened in her life. When Julia falls she falls hard. Her friends and family treat her like royalty but she can not help the sense of loneliness that she had been feeling lately.
    Once Julia knew she had found the boy she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, she knew right away. This was enough to make her fall head over heals. The boy was not a typical boy and was not from the popular crowd, or the wealthy crowd that her parents were mostly associated with. Julia knew that her parents would instantly disapprove of her new love interest. She knew that things were going to have to change since Ryan, the new boy had asked her to a dance tonight at their High School. The dance was formal and Julia was very nervous about what she was going to be wearing. She had to find the perfect dress to make Ryan know that she was interested in him.
    Once she was ready and felt she was up to her standards, she went to her friends house and went to the dance. She instantly looked around at everyone in their gowns and could spot him throughout everyone in the crowd, as if he were a big star. She hesitantly made her way through the crowd and he greeted her as a knight would, kneeling and taking one hand and kissing it. Once they started dancing Julia instantly knew she was in love. Ryan had alternate plans for them this weekend and Julia was hoping that her strict parents would not stand in the way.
    When she got home she called all of her friends and told them about her magnificent night. They were all just as excited as she was. Until, her mother and father walked in the room to talk to her about the dance. Julia knew she could not leave out the details of her new love interest. She began at her story and her parents started looking at her instantly with disapproval. She knew this was going to be the dealbreaker about the plans Ryan had made for them this weekend. The Stolemans own a company in Julia’s town and her parents did a backround check on him. Apparently he is not well fitted for Julia and they will not allow her to see him. After Julia takes out her phone to text and tell him this she hears rocks at her window. She looks out to see Ryan standing there with a very disappointed look on his face. She sneaks out of her window and meets him at the garden and tells him what happened.
    Julia told him that she did not care what her parents had to say and that she would love him no matter what. Ryan tried to explain to her that this was irrational and that she had to obey her parents or else they could never truly be together. He stayed away for a while and left Julia feeling hopeless. She began to sulk around and not leave her house. Her parents knew what was wrong yet were almost heartless in the situation. They did not care and they were not changing their mind. After a few weeks Julia decided that it was time to leave her house. She went out and of course she spotted him instantly.
    Looking almost as sad as she did, Ryan pranced over like he was in a movie scene. He did not hesitate and took her into his arms. Julia was mesmerised in the moment and could not help like she was playing Juliet in the love saga of “Romeo and Juliet.” Ryan explains that he will talk to her father and they will work everything out. After time passes the two fall more and more in love. They are now no longer in high school and are no longer in their teens. Soon Julia is trying on a wedding dress and Ryan is asking her father for approval. Ryan and Julia got married and live happily ever after.
