fanmix: don't leave home (john/elizabeth)
A/N: It wasn't supposed to be a fanmix, I just created a John/Elizabeth playlist and it turned out with 20+ songs so why not share, right?! I just selected 15 tracks from the playlist, made a cover/back cover (even though I'm not really loving them) and that's the result.
The songs are very, very angst and pretty much all are from John's POV.

01. Shimmering Fields - Matt Costa
Many have followed the footsteps you're on
Good to know I'm not alone
Shimmering straight ahead I see
Shimmering fields of gold
All you could wish for and all you could dream
Shimmering fields of gold 02. The Fear you Won't fall - Joshua Radin
It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you
03. All I ever wanted - Train
You gave me everything I ever wanted
Except for you
I convinced myself that over don't mean over
And I convinced myself that I could fix it all
04. Don't Leave Home - Dido
If you're cold I'll keep you warm
If you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh, don't leave home
05. Turn the page - Matt Hires
My heart has flown to fields of flowers and open roads
While I'm left lying in my bed
The darkness holds little rest for weary bones
Now turn the page, the chapter's ending
The earth is on her knees
As oceans cover me
Sail your ship across my sea
And I'll see you in my sleep
So far from home the lights still shining from your soul
It's burning holes into my head
The flowers grow, the night is moving way too slow
But I don't wanna see her smiling fading
06. Blue in the sky - Joe Purdy
Darling I got so jealous
Just wishing you were here with me
And I saw the prettiest people
They were kissing in the street
They didn't care who was watching
In the middle of the street
Didn't care who was watching
Well I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
And I can see blue in the sky when it's raining
Raining on me and I'm waiting on you 07) Breathe - Melissa Etheridge
I'm alright, I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
And I can't ask for things to be still again
No I can't ask if I could walk through the world in your eyes
Longing for home again
Home, is a feeling I buried in you
08. Transatlanticism - Death Cab for Cutie
The Atlantic was born today, and I'll tell you how:
The clouds above opened up and let it out.
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole.
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,
Making islands where no island should go.
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing floodlands to your door
Have been silenced forever more.
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
09. Let me in - Griffin House
She’s out of my league
And that’s the kind of girl I need
I am the underdog
But I’m about to take the lead
You can’t worry about the others
They can’t turn my head
And when I’m with another I wish it was you instead.
I’m not trying to force it
But I’ve got one thing on my mind
I’m not going anywhere soon
I’m on a mission baby I’ve got the time
Let me in, might as well be with you
Let me in, I know how to make you miss me.
10. She fell into my arms - Ed Harcourt
Well there's a thousand things I shouldn't do
But if I do them I should do them with you
So won't you fall into my arms again
And hold me for the world may end.
11. Along the way - Tyrone Wells
It's cold out there where you are
You're just getting by, so far
If you just try with me
Maybe in time you'll see
I want to be everything you lost along the way
The song that you used to sing
And your favorite dream
I want to be everything you lost along the way
12. Be Mine - David Gray
If I had some influence girl
With the powers that be
I'd have them fire that arrow at you
Like they fired it right at me
Maybe when your heart and soul are burning you might see
That everytime I'm talking with you
It's always over too soon?
That everyday feels so incomplete
'Till you walk into the room?
Say the word now girl
I'll jump that moon, hey
Say the word now girl
13. Fly with you - Pete Murray
But the timing was all wrong
When I met the one, I shoulda known
Instead I walked away
Leaving behind my destiny on that day
My destiny on that day
Someday I will fly with you
14. Straight Towards The Sun - Newton Faulkner
All I see
Drifting through my veins
Want to know where it all began
I see your face everywhere I turn
Now I'm left, eternally to bow
Eternally to...
15. You in the end - Matt Hires
This isn't the end,
We're just getting started.
The road stretches on, and on, and on,
We're moving again.
Sun on our skin,
And cracks in the pavement.
We'll aim for a place we've never been,
It's all what we make it, whoa oh.
All I am is just a traveler,
With dirt on my hands.
All I have is dust in my pockets,
And you in the end,
In the end.
Summer to fall,
We're wrapped up in blankets.
We're wrapped up in everything we fear,
It's all what we make it, whoa.
All I am is just a traveler,
With dirt on my hands.
All I have is dust in my pockets,
And you in the end.
Sometimes it feels like we're never gonna make it out alive.
When nightmares' close us in.
Heartbeat, take me, away from all the troubles that I see,
Oh, it's all what we make it,
It's all what we make it, whoa oh.
All I am is just a traveler,
With dirt on my hands.
All I have is dust in my pockets,
And you in the end.
Oh, all I am is just a traveler,
With dirt on my hands.
And all I have is dust in my pockets,
And you in the end,
Dust in my pockets,
And you in the end,
In the end.
