William Prince - 'Best Friend (Growing Up)'

Hey everyone. I had a really cool idea for a story type of song and I had to get it in to the contest before it closes. Sorry if it sounds a little rushed, I wrote it in 25 minutes just to get it up there. Totally new one. Hope you like!

In regards to the "Choose a color, pick a number line"...

William Prince - Best Friend (Growing Up)

Well I was ten when she moved in
Three doors down, my best friend
A couple of gals with nothing but time on our hands
It was four years later we moved away
Daddy's new job wouldn't let me stay
And that was the end to the best days of my life

It was simpler then, me and my best friend
When we'd...

Sing songs way out of time
Ding dong ditch was the perfect crime
Fake tattoos of butterflies there on our arms
(We had) no cares, no bills, no running late
Choose a color, pick a number, to decide our fate
Oh those were the days
Now and again, I think about those two, with all that growing up to do

I was out on the town for a friend's birthday
Me and the girls getting carried away
I hopped on stage and I took that mic in my hands
Making my way back through the crowd
A voice rang over, unmistakably proud
Saying, 'I haven't heard you sing like that since we were thirteen!'

And the tears came down like rain from both our eyes
Suddenly, we were standing back in time
When we'd...

Sing songs way out of time
Ding dong ditch was the perfect crime
Fake tattoos of butterflies there on our arms
(We had) no cares, no bills, no running late
Choose a color, pick a number, to decide our fate
Oh those were the days
She laughed and said, 'I don't know about you,
But I could sure use a lesson from those two', with all that growing up to do

Since that weekend we've been making brand new memories
Picked right up where we left off like no time in between
A lot of times have come and gone but enough have stayed the same
We're still two best friends and that'll never change

End tag:

Now we're back to where we started me and you
But we haven't even started to tell you the truth
We've still got growing up to do

William. I was wondering if you can make an actual track of this song. I love this song, man. I really want to put it on facebook and jam out with when I'm having a bomb fire with buddies and what not. This song is really good. Keep up the good work! Anyways, if you can? Can you? Hope to hear from you, man.
