Notes

*Jennies birthday is coming up so I sat in the living room while writing her a song. I was also writing a song about Jungwon while they were cleaning the kitchen* *Jennies birthday song is call the big 23, no one knows I’m writing the songs, and Jungwon’s song is call if only you knew.

The big 23


(Verse 1)
Lights down low, the bass is pulsing deep
Another year, another secret you can keep
They all watchin' as you walk into the room
Got that starlight, chasing away the gloom

(Chorus)
Oh, Jen, it's your night, go and steal the scene
Lookin' like a vision, a Y2K dream
Twenty-three, yeah, you're shining so bright
This is your chapter, go and own the spotlight

(Verse 2)
Remember talkin' late at night about our plans?
Now you're taking over, with the world in your hands
From Niki callin' out to her best friend
To a power that you know will never end

(Chorus)
Oh, Jen, it's your night, go and steal the scene
Lookin' like a vision, a Y2K dream
Twenty-three, yeah, you're shining so bright
This is your chapter, go and own the spotlight

(Bridge)
From blanket burritos to nights that never fade
For all the memories that we have made
The future's calling out your name, a whispered dare
Go on and answer, 'cause you're walking on air

(Chorus)
Oh, Jen, it's your night, go and steal the scene
Lookin' like a vision, a Y2K dream
Twenty-three, yeah, you're shining so bright
This is your chapter, go and own the spotlight

(Outro - Rap)
Yeah! Go Jen, go Jen, uh-huh, that's my best friend
Steppin' out, no doubt, you're a perfect ten
Twenty-three, on the scene, livin' out a dream
Queen of the night, yeah, you know what I mean
From the start, had the heart, knew you'd play the part
Tearin' it up, fill the cup, this is your work of art
So let the beat drop, don't stop, take it to the top
The whole world's watchin', ain't no way you're gonna flop!
Twenty twenty twenty threeee!
The big twenty three... (fading out, whisper)

If only you knew

(Verse 1)
Been replaying scenes inside my head
Like a scratched CD of words unsaid
Saw you standing there, a silhouette, a sign
Suddenly my whole world felt out of line

(Chorus)
Oh, Jungwon, can't you see it now?
This feeling's more than just a vow
In this Y2K dream, a little light and dark
You're the one who's captured my whole heart

(Verse 2)
Twenty-two years, a universe in your eyes
You're the calm and the storm, the beautiful surprise
Every laugh from you is a sunny day
But hiding this from you just makes the sky turn grey

(Chorus)
Oh, Jungwon, can't you see it now?
This feeling's more than just a vow
In this Y2K dream, a little light and dark
You're the one who's captured my whole heart

(Bridge/Rap)
Yeah, check it, my heart's buffering, slow like dial-up
Every time you're near, my thoughts all get piled up
Is this a glitch in the system? My body's been shutting down
'Cause it's not used to being loved, ain't that sad, I bet?
Stuck here in a daze, in this love-struck maze
Just wanna break the code, tell me, is this feeling gonna be enough?

(Chorus)
Oh, Jungwon, can't you see it now?
This feeling's more than just a vow
In this Y2K dream, a little light and dark
You're the one who's captured my whole heart

(Outro)
(High, dreamy vocals, music softens)
Had a dream about you, me, and him...
Rather not say what it was about...
But let's just say I chose you over him...
(Vocal run)
Chose you over him... yeah...
In this Y2K dream...
(Spoken softly, almost a whisper)
I’m in love with you... ain’t that fortunate?
But for my heart... it’s not.
(Music fades to silence)*
