Where You Want To Be & Like It Or Not

 

My concept has Darren singing his song in the background... there are 2 characters that live far away but have a past together... you see her at her computer and him near his at the start...the way they communicate most when they arent together...they are both sad and not happy...
Then you see them - both unhappy in different rooms...she has her 2 suitcases packed near her bed and her laptap in a carry on bag... and she is hugging her teddy bear sad... and she is talking to him on the phone...by the looks of things they are having an argument of some kind....then fades to him hanging up the phone very mad and then you can see a tear coming down his face... she tries to call him but he refuses to answer her... She puts on her coat, wraps her red scarf around her, takes her bag and suitcases and drives off to the airport in an effort to save their relationship... he has no way of knowing she is doing this...meanwhile while he is at his piano, he cannot concentrate at all - then something falls out of one of piano books... 2 pictures..of her...one of serious look one of her smiling... she is a very beautiful girl in his eyes...he bends over and picks them up...he fights back his tears... he tries to call her on her phone repeatedly but she doesnt answer... then he gets a call from an airport terminal...but she cant speak... she is crying... he know it is her... he recognizes her cry... she hangs up afraid to talk to him... she drags her two suitcases behind her and has her laptap in a carry on bag on her shoulder....she is going to the desk to cancel her flight to her home... but she gets intercepted by a phone call on her mobile... it is him... begging her not to leave and return to her homeland... She has a flash back of their time together during the time you can see her still on the phone with him and he with her: walks in the park hand in hand, romantic dinners, long convos online - phone and in person, and more... She turns off her cell phone...having not cancelled her flight... He wasnt able to convince her to stay... She goes into a bathroom stall and cries then composes herself... and makes it just in time for her flight home... she is unaware that he made to the airport... she never knew he came to ask her one last time to reconsider getting back together... He leans up against the window and sees her sitting next to a window in the plane...he has a rose for her... He fights his tears... He asks the attendant to page his ex to come back to see him one last time... the woman says no time to spare to him... he begs her again... so she pages her to come and see a visitor... it is her ex b/f... her eyes are puffy from crying... she tells I cant go on like this anymore... I need time I need space... then she kisses him on the cheek and tells him she must go... but she will be back soon... she gets back on the plane... she doesnt come back... the song is at the instrumental end... and Darren appears nearby in the terminal and sees the man standing there watching the plane taking off... with his ex love in there.... Darren tells him she will back... when its time she will return to him...the ex.... he leaves the airport and tries to move on with his life...but memories keep coming back to him and also her... the couple never reunites... instead she ends up with some else... in the future....

WHERE YOU WANT TO BE
Hey there stranger Do you remember? You were a part of my life
Early December Think I remember? Sentiment cuts like a knife
The seasons are changing Life's rearranging Full of good times Would a have beens
It's all your fault And where've you been And how times goes
And though I don't even know How to fill in the spaces of the love you've erased in my life
A woman sits in her room holding a picture of someone who was once special in her life.... and memories flood back to her... of all of the good times they shared.... her room filled with mementoes of those days... all packed in a box ready to go into storage... she can't deal with the memories since the break up of the relationship he initiated.... she is sitting on her bed clutching her teddy bear with tears streaming down her face.... before taking her coat and keys and purse and walking outside to her car with a large box....

Are you where you wanted to be? Did you get there easily?
Did I make you sacrifice? Did you make a sharp left
When you should have turned right? Are you where you wanted to be?
Did you sell off all of your gold Did you trade it in?
Did you wait for love Or settle for somebody to hold?
She drives off to her storage area... its filled with memories of her past... of a life she used to lead... independent and on her own till circumstances made her return home to a life filled with pain and sorrow mostly.... She is wishing he was there to comfort her....but he is no where to be found....

And barely symphonic But strangely ironic
Moments contained in one glance Oh how I adored you
But now I'm ignored by you. Nowhere a tint of romance
And now it's vaguely familiar I think I remember sharing every single intimacy
It doesn't seem so strange to me that we barely entertained Even the politest of phrases
But sometimes at night I conjure you up in my mind.
As she puts the box in storage.... she looks at each item in there... each a memory in its own way... symbols of great times together... birthday gifts.... Easter gifts... vacation souvenirs.... love letters in a neat stack.. Hallmark cards... She tries to call him on her cell phone in the midst of this but he wont answer her at all.... he sits in his room all alone....

Are you where you wanted to be? Did you get there easily?
Did I make you sacrifice? Did you make a sharp left
when you should have turned right? Are you where you wanted to be?
Did you sell off all of your gold Did you trade it in?
Did you wait for love Or settle for somebody to hold.
He is thinking of how he screwed up so bad... why he broke things off when they were going well.... why he had circumstances in his life that brought him to her and to the point of hurting the one person in his life he truly loved and wanted....

While I was busy Perfecting the art Of deflecting compliments
I took it too far And I let a ripple run right through my heart
Of battle stations we're building You and I just grew apart We grew apart
A few months pass... she is still sad and hurt deeply.... she looks she will die from a broken heart being in her room all alone... the walls are practically bare except for a few posters.... but she manages to get on with life the best she can.... and he can't stop thinking about the decision he made...

While I decided To make everyone else happy I just put aside My foolish pride
I guess I denied My own desire I was too busy pleasing To ever be pleased
I forgot how to breathe Or question anything Or ask why? Am I?
His voice is going thru her mind.... to do something good for yourself... go for your dreams .... you are incredibly talented.... Her voice is going thru his.... you are totally worthwhile and I want to be with you forever no matter what others say....

Am I where I wanted to be? Did I get here easily? Did I make a sacrifice? Did I take a sharp left
When I should have turned right? Am I where I wanted to be? Can I sell off all of my gold?
Can I trade it in? Will I wait for love Or settle for somebody to hold. I'd settle for somebody to hold now
You know that I've been up and I've been down I've been picked up and spun around
I'd do it all again If I could just have somebody to hold now I just need somebody to hold me now
Could somebody hold me now? I just want somebody to hold me now I'd do it all again

She goes back to college to fulfill her dreams... its a long road for her.. alot of hard work and dedication... but one she is doing well with..... someday she will find someone to hold her.... and love her forever..... He gets a new job... the adoration of many..... but still dreams of the one love he shouldve never left behind like a rose to wither on the bush in the cold wintery weather.... but stayed with no matter what others thought or wanted of him.... They encounter each other at the end.... and embrace as friends finally.... if each wants more from the other we never know... its up to you to decide....
