Below are the lyrics of our chosen artist, “The Next Forever”, for his song Upstream. The first page are the original lyrics, and the second page shows literal ideas that we could use in our music video to match the lyrics with the visuals.

I’d learn to read for youso I could tell you all the stories

of when the boy gets the girland I'd plant a seed for you

and I'd sitand I'd watch it grow

and I'd wait for itto blossom to a flower

and I'd treasure itand tie it in your hair

I'd swim upstream for youand I'd kiss you in the crashing waves

I'd swim upstream for youjust to tell you that I need you

and I never want you to changeI'd build a town for you

so you might come and stayI'd show my love to you

with the actions I doday by day

and I'd take my timeto show you that I careit might take a while

but it's the best that you've heard yetI'd swim upstream for you

and I'd kiss you in the crashing wavesI'd swim upstream for you

just to tell you that I need youand I never want you to change

please don't change noplease don't change noplease don't change no 

please don't changeI'd swim upstream for you

and I'd kiss you in the crashing wavesI'd swim upstream for you

just to tell you that I need youand I never want you to change
