CHAPTER 10
AJ noticed that Katie was writing something in a notebook. He reached over and grabbed it out of her hands. He asked, “ What’s this?”
“ I’m working on these song lyrics.”
“ Can I read them?”
“ Sure, it’s not done yet.”
“ No problem.” He said as he began to read them.
I wish I could define
All the thoughts that cross my mind
They seem to big for me to choose
I don't know which ones to lose
And I've fallen down so far
I think I'll never see your light
Bouncing off of me
Shining down here from your eyes
Chorus
Help me
Figure out the difference
Between right and wrong, weak and strong
Day and night where I belong
Help me
Make the right decision
Know which way to turn lessons to learn
And just what my purpose is here
“ Wow. This is really good.” He said.
“ Thanks. I was thinking about having Kevin have a look at it. See what he thinks. I thought maybe you guys could record it as a single.”
“ Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.” He said. AJ turned around and said, “ Hey, Kev. Take a look at this.”
“ What is it?” asked Kevin.
“ Song lyrics. They’re not done, but look at them anyway.” AJ said.
“ Okay. Give me a minute and I’ll give them back. I’ll have Howie, Nick, and Brian look at them too. Then I’ll let you finish them”
“ Hey, they’re not mine. Katie wrote it.” Said AJ.
AJ turned back around and looked at her. She said, “ I wrote those after the audition. After I met you.”
“ Wow. I made that much of an impact on you?” he asked.
“ Yeah. After all, you are the great, sexy Mr. Mclean.” She said in a low, sexy voice.
“ Hey, don’t do that unless you plan on finishing what you started.” He said.
“ I couldn’t resist.”
“ Yeah, sure. I know you meant it. You can’t help but fall in love with me.” He said.
“ Someday, Mclean, someday.” She said.
“ Here you go Aje. They all love the lyrics. Tell her to finish them.” Said Kevin.
“ Katie, guess what?” said AJ.
“ Yeah, I heard him. he told me to finish the lyrics. Give them to me so I can finish them.”
“ Need any help?” asked AJ.
“ Sure. Why not?” said Katie.
For the rest of the plane ride they worked on the song. They finished it right before they landed.

Chorus
Help me
Figure out the difference
Between right and wrong, weak and strong
Day and night where I belong
Help me
Make the right decision
Know which way to turn lessons to learn
And just what my purpose is here
It's like I got the signals crossed
With messages I can't decode
Half asleep never wide awake
I'm on complete overload
I got so much information here
And nothin I can really grasp
I should know the truth
But I'm too afraid so I have to ask
Chorus
Wanna know you
More than anything
I need you
In my every dream
You're there for me
You love me
For who I am
No angel
Just an ordinary man
Help me figure out
Why I'm stuck in the middle
Tryin to understand
Why I can't quite,
it's such a riddle
Got my eyes crossed
Thinkin so hard
And I know I'm missin the mark
Can you help me sort out
All this information
I'm just rackin my brain
Payin attention
But I'm still lost
And at all costs
I
I gotta know (I GOTTA KNOW!! KNOW!!)
Chorus
Can you help me sort out
All this information
I'm just rackin my brain
Payin attention
But I'm still lost
And at all costs
I
I gotta know (I GOTTA KNOW!! KNOW!!)
