"Daydream Believer"

A lyric story
Part Two of the Where We Were Before series

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings.
The six o'clock alarm would never ring.
But it rings and I rise,
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings.

Brian looked around the room with sleepy eyes. Ever since that fatal day almsot 3 years ago, he had trouble not only waking up but also getting through the day.

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

A picture of his girlfriend popped in his head and he smiled softly. Jenni was his high school sweetheart. He had never once imagined her to like him, in reality. He daydreamed about it all the time, but come on. He was the dorky kid that walked through the halls singing NKOTB- and she was homecoming queen every single year. But it happened.

You once thought of me
As a white knight on a steed.
Now you know how happy I can be.
Oh, and our good times start and end
Without dollar one to spend.
But how much, baby, do we really need.

Jenni looked up to him all throughout his tries to get on top, and to use his talent. Finally, that moment came, and went it seemed almost as quickly. The Backstreet Boys were his life. At teh death of Kevin's longtime girlfriend and Fatima's assistant, kev jsut fell apart, causing the guys to panic without his strong guidance. They managed for another year, but finally slowed it all down in 2003. The fans went hysterical when they heard their favorite Boys wouldn't record an album again after the Greatest Hits.
Here he sat in the cold room, waiting for Jenni to come home and try to make him feel better.

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.
Oh, what can it mean.
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen.

Brian woke with a start at the sound of his alarm. He sighed with relief when he realized all that had jsut been a dream- BSB hadn't broken up. But unfortunately, the whole Jessica part was true- but Kevin was slowly getting over that.

Brian smiled softly and wrapped his arms around his sleeping girlfriend, closing his eyes.
