Challenge Reminder: August - Everything You Want
Just a reminder about the challenge being hosted here this month at ian_nikki. For August, we have a lyrical challenge - coming to you from the band Vertical Horizon and the song "Everything You Want." (as suggested by magisterequitum)
Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return
[Chorus]
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say
[Chorus]
But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for
Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return
[Chorus]
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know

You may pick and choose the lyrics that inspire you or you can use the whole song. And these lyrics don't have to apply to just Ian/Nikki. Maybe this song is about Colby's unrequited love of Ian and his jealousy that Ian chose Nikki. After all, Liz did tease Colby about it at the end of Angels & Devils. If not Colby, maybe Don or Charlie was crushing on our favorite sniper or maybe even Liz. Really, the possibilities are endless.
The challenge is open until 11:59pm August 31st (wherever you are - even though you may post your entry at any time). Please read our rules and post to us!! Most importantly, have fun!
