Lyrics -Drake-

[dani]

Dani had been wondering around looking for a place that was quiet and finally about after an hour she had found the perfect spot! She came up to the stage with a grin dancing across her face she looked around to make sure no one else was around. Today instead of having an epic adventure for once she was gonna take it easy and start on her new song. Since it was a nice day she figured it would be a good idea to be outside and thats where the stage came into play. The smell of the old wood that was laied before her was peaceful and she couldn't help but to remember the first day she arrived at camp and when she found her way to this very spot, how magical it had seemed to her. Dani smiled as she let a small sigh of relief out.

She walked up jumping a little letting her butt hit the stage softly running her hands across the old wood some spots were scratched but for the most part it was in really good shape, she slid her hand over to her bag that lay next to her, and out of it she pulled out some lyric papers and a pencil. Dani was going to attempt to create a new song! If she could concentrate that long anyways. With a sigh she laid back thinking, kind of humming a tune that might be good to use. The pencil bounced off her chin a couple times as her fingers on her other hand air played strings on a guitar. This would be so much easier with an actual guitar, why didn't I bring mine? she asked herself but quickly throwing that thought out of her mind so she could try to focus on what she was actually doing.

"Why can't things just come Naturally? She asked her self and with that she popped up! she had it! the start of her new song! "Thats it!" she said happily a big grin on her face. She began to bob her head as if there was a beat on, which there was it was in her head. Dani let her lips part and she began to sing, kind of quietly just incase someone else was around she did not want to disturb them too much. Her voice was beautiful some said it was like an angel but she didn't think so, she knew she was good but she didn't think she was that good. And really she did not care what others thought, only herself.

"How you choose to express yourself
it's all your own and I can tell
It comes naturally
it comes naturally"
She began to sing and after each line she would stop and write down some more lyrics that just kept popping up in her head. It was going fast and she was getting excited each time she thought of a new part!

"You follow what you feel inside
it's intuitive, you don't have to try
it comes naturally
it comes naturally"
She began to mumble to herself, singing it from the beginning and continuing forward till she got stuck! with a sigh she placed her head in her hand just thinking what should come next.

The day was beautiful, simply amazing, in a single word, perfect. It beckoned Drake to the sky. He felt... inspired. More so than he ever had been for a while, like he could write a hit song today. He grabbed his guitar, his prized possession, his best friend and hopped out into the bright afternoon sunshine. Drake walked out with a skip in his step and the makings of a song in his heart. Racing down to the beach and his usual writing place on the dock, he prayed for privacy. That prayer was far from being answered. In fact, people were swarmed the edges of the lake like a fringe. Drake sighed. Time to look for a plan "b".

Drake marched back to the main area of the camp, unsure where he should look to find the right spot. After wandering around for a while, he recalled that the stage was hardly used when a performance was not being held. On a day like today, everyone must have gone down to the lake, giving Drake double assurance that the stage would be deserted. Excited with the possibility of putting the good vibes of the day to use, Drake raced over to the raised wooden stage. When he got there, the air was perfectly still and serene. The perfect environment for creating music. A bass line quickly emerged in his mind. Pulling his guitar forward (because it had been slung onto the back of his shoulder) he was prepared to strum his thoughts into reality when a voice a capella broke the silence before Drake had a chance to. He recognized it as a female voice, but did not know who the owner was.

Walking up to the stage, Drake saw a brunette who was the source of the sound. As he came closer, he saw that she seemed to be playing an invisible guitar to go along with her lyrics. He recognized the look on her face. He experienced that same expression often when he played or sang a song that he wrote. The blank pages of paper and pencil she cradled in her other hand gave away that Drake's suspicions were correct. This girl was writing a song. Watching her fingers play on invisible strings, Drake soom deciphered the notes she was using and shadowfingered on his own guitar, careful not to accidently strum a string by accident.

Then came that all too recognizable mumble and sigh of having no idea what should come next. Drake couldn't help feeling a twinge of the same experience as her, since he had been standing just out of her sight since she began writing the song. He had an idea. As she finished mumbling through the first few stanzas and came to where she stopped, Drake walked out from where he had been watching into her line of veiw, playing the notes she had been fingering, offering
"And it takes my breath away
What you do, so naturally"
to the lyrics. He stopped and looked at her, curious to see what she was thinking. About both Drake and his humble addition.

The wind began to pick up softly pushing Danica's dark brown wavy locks to the side. Still humming the tune and fingering the hair like a guitar she slowly shut her eyes just thinking, relaxing trying to free her mind of all other thoughts. A small smile danced across her lushes lips showing her white teeth but just barely. She couldn't help but to think about the other day. One of her epic adventures in the pouring rain, she almost got sick that day but it was worth it for her. She loved being outside in the open around nature.

Dani's eyes snapped open and she sat up quickly startled at first by the sound of a guitar playing the sound in her head. At first she thought she was going crazy till she had pin pointed the source of this mysterious playing. It was a male a gorgeous male with a beautiful guitar. Dani smiled up at him kindly "That's Perfect!" she said with enthusiasm, this made her excited it was good. Dani gripped her pencil and quickly wrote it down on her sheet of paper.

Dani was so happy to get further in her music she almost forgot her manners. Snapping back into reality looking back up at this male who she did not know who happened to be standing in front of her she let out a small laugh "Thank you. I'm Danica, ER well Dani for short." Her smile still staid on her full lips as she set her pencil and reached her hand out to shake this strangers hand. He seemed nice and was good looking. Today was just getting better and better for Dani. The cool wind still blowing, lifting some strands of hair into her face but not minding she continued to hold her hand out there for him to take. It was a nice day out the sun was shining down on the stage warming up the area around them.

Dani could hear his accent in his voice, it was new and different. She liked it. It wasn't all the time you come by people with a Texas accent. Dani herself didn't have one but that did not bother her. It was always cooler sounding on other people at least in her opinion it was. "Drake" she repeated almost as if she was memorizing the word. Dani was not always the best with names, but she would try her best and his name was not that difficult, it was nice. "That is pretty easy to remember" Dani had said with a small laugh and a cute smile at this tall man. "It is nice to meet you Drake" she added as she pulled herself up on the stage being careful not to sit on her papers or the pencil.

Dani had decided to gather up her work placing them all in one pile under her bag so they would not fly away if the wind decided to pick up. Placing the ones with writing on top she looked back over at him as he asked her a question about how she wrote her music. No I have not written a chorus yet. I don't really wait till the end either... normally it just comes out while I am writing... Depends on where I am at or if I just wanna work on that" she said laughing a bit, she was not all that organized about her writing... But she took every day things and turned them into music so she couldn't really have a set song. She just pulled things together that she really liked, wrote them down and maybe put them in a song. Really if you thought about it she was kind of scatter brained when it came to writing but she was passionate about it non the less. Everyone had their ways of Writing.

"Do you write music?" Dani kind of figured he did because of the lyrics he gave her, but than again you never did know, some people could just be talented but still not write their own stuff. Dani looked him over, letting her eyes travel the curves of his body, than pulling her eyes over to his beautiful guitar. She was really impressed that he had played the work she was air playing, this just showed he was good and she liked that. You could tell she was pretty impressed by the look on her face. Quickly she looked back up at his face taking in his features. There were alot of campers who knew how to play the guitar such as herself but she didn't think anyone really knew how to shadow finger other like he did. Dani knew she couldn't do it but than again guitar was not her main instrument. Her voice was and she was very proud of that.
