Picture This! (Worktape)

So Danny's back in town again
No one's seen him for a while now
I picked him up 'cause we're good friends
At least we were in high school

When LA called, he made his plans
Now we catch up at Tim Hortons
And I'm hiding my clammy hands
Cause he created that new Netflix sitcom

He smiles at me and asks about my sick mom
But I just can't resist, I say

"Picture this
There's a bunch of kids in high school
But the school is on a spaceship
It can't miss
Cause everybody loves a quirky sci fi drama
Problem is I need you to run with it
Cause I'm too chicken shit
To ever believe that I could flip my script
So picture this"

Well, Danny blinks a couple times
Offers me a gracious smile
He says he's slammed, he keeps it light
That makes sense, he's so damn cool

In grade school we'd stay up and talk
About the movies we'll make someday
Now he does that for his job
And I'm a estimator at a Roofmart

He looks at me and asks me how my kids are
And all I've got to say is

"Picture this
It's an animated series of superheroes in a rock band
It can't miss
We can call Jack Black and cast him as "The Man"
Problem is I need you to run with it
Cause I'm too chicken shit
To ever believe that I could flip my script
So picture this
Picture this
Picture this"

He tells me LA's kinda sad
It's hard to make real friends like back home
Then I drive him to his dad's
And Danny doesn't say much as he walks away
And then it hits me that I acted like a jerk all day

Picture this
There's a loser in a small town
But he goes and gets a laptop
It can't miss
Cause everybody loves a underdog who's tryna
Take his dream and finally run with it
He's tired of being chicken shit
He wants to believe that he can flip this script
So picture this
Picture this
Picture this
