Fanvid: If We Were Vampires
Fandom: Starsky & Hutch (TV)
Song: If We Were Vampires
Length: 2:40
Warnings: a very small amount of blood
Notes: This is a really beautiful song about the shadow of mortality hanging over your deepest and most loving relationships. So of course my mind associated it immediately with Starsky and Hutch. They love each other so much, guys.
Also posted to Tumblr and AO3.

Lyrics:
It's not the long, flowing dress that you're in
Or the light coming off of your skin
The fragile heart you protected for so long
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong
It's not your hands searching slow in the dark
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
Your questions like directions to the truth
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we'll get forty years together
But one day I'll be gone
Or one day you'll be gone
If we were vampires and death was a joke
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
Laugh at all the lovers and their plans
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
Maybe time running out is a gift
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
And give you every second I can find
And hope it isn't me who's left behind
