[MIX] DRAGON AGE: YOU'RE THE TALL KINGDOM I SURROUND (HAWKE/VARRIC)
YOU'RE THE TALL KINGDOM I SURROUND, a hawke/varric fanmix
for redcheekdays
01. mind eraser - the black keys
when I need to replace her / anything goes
but she ain't gonna see me again, this I know
but oh, deep down I can't let go
oh, don't let it be over
02. dear fellow traveler - sea wolf
and in our travels / we found a rose,
you held it like a mirror, showing me the life I chose
and now we turn to my beautiful city / black skies changed into blue
and my love is so wise and so pretty, but tonight I still dream of you
03. the page - chromatics
these days they say that no man is an island
but when I think of who we were, I slip away
like the pages of the book / I'd never get to write
on the eastside of the city / where the ink is running dry
the rain will wash away the ashes / on the eastside of my heart
I wonder if I could be your mirror
04. brainy - the national
I've been dragging around from the end of your coat for two weeks,
everywhere you go is swirling,
everything you say has water under it
you're the tall kingdom I surround,
think I better follow you around
05. the start of something - voxtrot
take me back to the place where I could feel your heart
come by and see me, I'm a love-letter away
I break the law once every week to feel your touch,
what's a book to you in bed? / do you feel better? / older?
your name is dripping from my pen
Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight
just shut your eyes, burn the past
06. your eyes - bombay bicycle club
nod my head so dumb with love
I would promise all I could / think about it afterward
humor me, just think it through / it's all I ever asked of you
I'm there when your fingers snap,
it's not where we left it at
I can see the love we trapped, coming back
07. too afraid to love - the black keys
and the city blocks, they drive me wild
they're never ending, mile after mile
I just don't know what to do;
I'm too afraid to love you.
08. sometimes I still feel the bruise - the mountain goats
I think of you from time to time
I'm under no illusion / as to what I meant to you
but you made an impression, and sometimes I still feel the bruise
what I've misplaced but never lost
an ache I first felt long ago
09. bones - editors
you know I'd forgive you every single time
in the end all you can hope for / is the love you felt / to equal the pain you've gone through
for you I'd throw a lifeline every time
are your eyes showing off for mine?
bones, starved of flesh / surround your aching heart / full of love
10. the projectionist - sleeping at last
when I was young I fell in love with story
with the eleventh hour, with the blaze of glory.
we’re leaving, we’re leaving our shadows behind us now.
we’re leaving, we’re leaving it all behind for now.
though truth is heavier than fiction / gravity lifts as the projectionist rolls tape
and it makes us brave again
11. reminders - radical face
I'm either honest, or I'm an optimist / but never both at the same time
there's only so much good a man can take / when he ain't so good himself
you remind me of what I could've been / but that reminder ain't much help
so it's better if you were on your way,
if you, were somewhere far from me
so you could dream I turned out well
and I... I could just go to sleep
12. hounds - the antlers
they want to conquer you / abandon you
I want to burden you / belong to you
I want to sever you,
defend against you
13. hard to find - the national
I can see the glowing lights / I can see them every night
really not that far away / I could be there in a day
I wonder if you live there still / I kinda think you always will
there's a lot I've not forgotten / I let go of other things
14. the haunted man - bat for lashes
I couldn't sleep last night, cause I tried to forget you
twisted all our dreams, 'til you became the nightmare
still I'm holding out my hand / standing by my haunted man
yes, your ghosts have got me too,
but it's me and you
I can't run...
