Fanmix Meme - Lost Girls (Gwen/Sally) for alien_catcher
This was supposed to be crack, but somehow turned out to be a really depressing storyline the more I worked on it. It's sort of complicated, so I'll let the lyrics speak for themselves, but feel free to ask! In a nutshell, it's AU, Sally wants a fresh start, Sally joins Torchwood, she and Gwen get close. Sally hits a rough patch, they fight, Sally takes stupid risk, it doesn't end well.
1. This is your Life - Switchfoot
Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you've got now
Yeah, and today is all you'll ever have
Don't close your eyes
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
2. Pretty Bird - Jenny Lewis
pretty bird, pretty bird
Why you so still?
Pretty bird, pretty bird
We've been waiting on you
3. Genius - Inara George
Everybody wants to be a genius.
You’re not the only one
With all things that you might do
Which one of them will you get to?
Tomorrow when you wake up
Then you’ll show them.
Nobody wants to break your heart
You do it on your own.
There’s nothing wrong with you today
Nothing you had that they took away
But all the time you’ve waited
For what is owed to you
4. Use Somebody - Kings of Leon
I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
5. Waking Life - Schuyler Fisk
There's an anchor that's pulling on my heart,
And it's deep in the water but it can't take me down.
Tracin' faces with fingers and we're just the same as we were,
Just our eyes never found what I see now,
That my feet are on the ground.
Cause I'm not lost, just looking for the prince.
I'm taking it, one step at a time and I'm getting by.
By the way,
It's you on my mind,
6. Usual To Me - Turn off the Stars
Desperate in the afternoon
Wanting just to meet with you for tea
Silence slowly fills the air
Hesitation is just a friend to me
Life feels so usual to me
Life feels so usual to me
But how am I the only one sinking like the sun?
Could I find myself in times of better days?
Am I the only one sinking like the sun?
Could I find someone?
7. There's a Girl -Ditty Bops
There's a girl that you might know
She's a friend at least I tell you so
But it might surprise you to find
There's something going on behind the door
I bide my time while biting my tongue
Hold closed my mouth so song is unsung
Get to the meat of things already
With buried secrets the ground is heavy
That's just the way things used to be
8. Wish I May - Ani Difranco
i'm losing my love of adventure
i'm losing all respect
for me and myself tonight
i wonder what happens if i get to
the end of this tunnel
and there isn't a light
do you ever have that dream
when you open your mouth
and you try to scream
but you can't make a sound
that's everyday starting now
dont tell me it's gonna be alright
you can't sell me on your optimism tonight
9. Window Bird - Stars
Stuck on the wall, the note that you left
I wait and stop for the moment
Your reckless heart, you know you got it
Into the past, I try to sort it
Sort it, sort it, sort it, sort it, sort it, sort it
Out of the fog, you're calling my name
I wanted to call for nothing
10. Lost Girls - Tilly and the Wall
No one will ever save you
If no one can ever find you
No one will ever save you
If no one can ever find you
Lost girls
11. Maybe Sparrow -Neko Case
Maybe sparrow you should wait
The hawks alight till morning
You'll never pass beyond the gate
If you don't hear my warning
Oh my sparrow it's too late
Your body limp beneath my feet
Your dusty eyes cold as clay
You didn't hear my warning
12. Girlfriend in a Coma- The Smiths
Girlfriend in a coma, I know
I know - it's really serious
There were times
When I could
Have 'murdered' her
(but, you know, I would hate
Anything to happen to her)
Do you really think
She'll pull through?
Let me whisper my last goodbyes
