One Common Friend Jake hates Shay Shy hates Jake Nothing in Common Except one Common Friend Rock n’ Roll forever Raised on Classical and Acoustic Negative energy from him Deming looks from her One Secret desire He knows she’s a dancer and wants to try She gets teased about being awkward, tall, and super skinny Pushing Jake to see her recital Groaning, thinking he will fall asleep to the boring music Shay is terrified to go onstage Has never broken the norm of the music Knows their secret desire Rock music starts blaring out the speakers Jake takes off his headphones Shay dances the performance of her life Can’t take his eyes off her Love in the making I think she did this for me Probably didn’t even come One Common Friend Pushes flowers in Jakes hand A water bottle too Shay’s performance ends She wants Jake to be hers Nailed the last move I wish he could have seen me I’m falling for her Already fallen for him One Common Friend Gives Shay a giant hug Jake stands in the corner Walk over to her you bloody fool Jake came! He’s coming over here… Kiss her Oh Please Kiss her Handing her the water and roses Their hands meet I kissed him He kissed back “You are beautiful.”
