You wake me up before the sun rises and everywhere's still dark
I can see you near to my face saying everything's alright
I pick up my guitar
Follow you into the car
And we're moving towards the highway
We turn on the music
While my guitar's in the backseat
We're heading for L.A

With a tank full of gas
And a pocket full of cash
We continue driving
We stopped by the road
And buy a starbucks
Something worth craving
And you look at me and I look at you
Thinking of what to do
We head back into the car
I'm playing my guitar
I know I'm gonna be a star

Chorus:
And this is my dream
Something worth living for
I know I'll make it up there
Don't have to play truth or dare
I'll be singing my way out of here
And it's my dream
To be on the stage
And meet Nicholas Cage
I'll be famous before you know it
I'm aiming higher than expected

After a long day of driving
We're finally in L.A
And we're sitting by the bay
I've sold my 3rd album in two years
Well, what can I say? (they love me)
With so much hopes and dreams yet to be fulfilled
I auditioned for American Idol
I won 3rd place
I sang on stage
I've finally reached my goal
Met many superstars
Became a celebrity
I'm gonna win myself a grammy
That's my dream
My lifetime dream
I'm always gonna do my best

[Repeat Chorus]

Bridge:
When I'm up there
I'll be thinking of you
When I'm there
I'll be singing to you
So make sure you buy all my albums :)

[Repeat Chorus x2]

I'm aiming higher
I'm aiming higher
I'm aiming higher...
Than expected.

Ok. This one's a lost lyric with no hope. Can't remember when I wrote it but yeah, it's about this girl whom stopped loving me.

...

I wish this was just a nightmare I could wake up from
I never knew it would come to the point I never thought of
Everyday I'm falling
Every minute your image is fading
I'm losing hope
I'm losing you
I can't climb the slope
There's nothing I can do
It's torn me down
I won't be coming around
I'm breaking without a sound

Chorus:
So I've stopped missing you
I don't need you anymore
You broke my heart
My voice is sore
From calling your name
I'm tired of reaching out to you
You've turned me away
I've got nothing to say
You've left me alone in the dark...
I'm losing you...

I've been longing to get this lyrics into a melody, into a song but it's quite hard when you have mixed feelings.

Sometimes I feel my days are incomplete
Like the ground is stuck on my feet
I never knew it could be so bad
Life sucks when you're always sad
Trying to keep myself together
But it's hard when there's nothing to weather
Even though I know I'm hurting
My heart aches keep beating

Chorus:
I can live through the day alone
I don't need you on the phone
'Cause I'm doing fine on my own
I don't need a hand to hold at night
I don't need a shoulder to cry
But in the end...
I still need you

Don't you feel your nights are lonely
I would need someone to keep me
Don't you feel there's something missing in your heart
A little bit of you would make a good start
Don't you need a guy to treat you right
'Cause there's no such thing as love at first sight
Even though you deny your pain
I can be your shelter from the rain
I have my reasons
While our love has its seasons
I don't need to pretend I'm good
I can be me when I'm with you
Gotta control this aching mood
You'll agree when I say it too

[Repeat Chorus]

Bridge:
I don't need anyone to call
You don't need anyone to catch you when you fall
But girl, you know I'm lying when I say I'm your one and all...

[Repeat Chorus x2]
