I TOLD YOU I WOULD STAY, a jim/bones fanmix by
alice_1005 and
earwen_neruda
01. little faith - the national
[academy]
little faith, follow me
I set a fire in a blackberry field
make us laugh, or nothing will
I set a fire just to see what it kills
leave our red Southern souls / head for the coast
all our lonely kicks are getting harder to find
awesome prince, get your sleep / lose your hard history
you'll find commiseration in everyone's eyes
the storm will suck the pretty girls into the sky
02. let me go - HAIM
[academy]
I gave you everything I could give
you try to take / and you try to make it
but take all, everything you can't break
together now, forever then
go ahead, don't you let me in
but I will wait / and I will want
wait 'til the day you're back again
let me go
you know I'm not one for leaving
I know I'm nothing without your love
03. december's traditions - frightened rabbit
[post-stxi]
the boy needs sunlight, and the shock of modesty
he needs to get some sleep
after months of grieving, fuck the grief I'm leaving / will you leave with me?
the blood loss, the towering cost / mouth to mouth and tongue to tongue
the lick brings warm metallic taste
I can't correct myself, convince you / if you want a safe, you don't want me
it's not the answer, sticking plaster on a shattered bone
what do you need / what do you need from me?
04. what you want - bombay bicycle club
[academy]
if I gotta ride like you want / eat it up, whatever you got
keeping my lies up, you know / oh you force it all, oh you need it all
you start it right / you tread so light
you tease this love / you care enough
you can rearrange me now / if we wait we can make it somehow
well what you want, what you want
anything you want...
05. two weeks- grizzly bear
a routine malaise
just like yesterday, I told you I would stay
would you always?
maybe sometimes?
make it easy
06. the pugilist - keaton henson
[post-stid]
oh I'm sorry I broke it / never forgive me
your love is the hopeless light that I need
to remind me I'm living, and that I still need it
you pulled me together with blood and soft stitches
you're proof that i'm breathing / and that I still need
to be loved and to hear you whisper to me
"you're enough"
but the truth is I need you / to tell me I'm worthy
of all this great living that I've been doing
07. to belong - daughter
[academy]
don't you think you'll be better off
without me tied around your neck / it's like the way your
body pulls me underneath where I can't breathe
I'm tired of talking; I've been screaming all day
don't you think we'll be better off
without the pressure to address / a room of faces
waiting to hear some strange woman speak in tongues
on lonely Fridays / oh my loveless drunk, baby
loveless drunk, baby
I don't want to belong, to you, to anyone
08. milk & black spiders - foals
oh I know you're still with me
you my compass and my sea
oh I hope you can hear me
follows billion miles away / you'd stay
cause I've been around two times and found that you're the only thing I need
09. ghosts - on an on
[stid]
every day the ghosts are coming for me
they gotta believe me
that I'll never forget you
every way I'm overcoming
to keep you alive
so take me out into the night
it was all you didn't say, you had no fight
I was on the verge to scream, when you, wouldn't scream about anything
I don't want to be your stupid fling, or your, magazine
someone else that you'll never love
10. port of call - beirut
[academy]
I've been alone sometime
and all in all, it's been fine
and you, you had hope for me now
I danced all around it somehow
be fair to me; I may drift a while
were it up to me, you'd know why
we were closer then, I'd been alone sometime
filled your glass with gin, filled your heart with pride
if there's a plan for me, would it make you smile?
11. love dog - tv on the radio
[academy]
nameless you above me, come / lay me low and love me
this, lonely little love dog / that no one knows the name of
curse me out in free verse, and / wrap me up and reverse, this
patience is a virtue / until its silence burns you
something slow has started in me
as shameless as an ocean, and / mirrored in devotion
12. putting the dog to sleep - the antlers
prove to me I'm not gonna die alone
put your arm round my collarbone / and open the door
prove to me I'm not gonna die alone
unstitch that shit I've sewn / to close up the hole that tore through my skin
you said "I can't prove to you you're not gonna die alone
"but trust me to take you home / to clean up that blood all over your paws
"you can't keep running out / kicking yourself off the bed
"kicking yourself in the head / because you're kicking me too"
put your trust in me / I'm not gonna die alone
