mix: but this feels like the first time
++zip file++
Let's just pretend this isn't my first update in over a month and it's a mix, okay? I'll update for real later, first I have to post this and flail about this flawless couple. When candids of them came out last week, it was pretty much the best day of my life (after April 11, 2009, obviously). I love Delta and have for years, and I was so excited that she was working with Nick on her new album. And now they're dating, and Nick has been tweeting about being blessed and so happy and "amazing guest performances" on Dancing With the Stars for over a month now, and that's all I want for him, someone who can make him happy. She's eight years older than him, but it doesn't matter, if it works, it works. So, I wrote a fic, and made this semi-companion mix to it. It's just a simple story, Nick being there for Delta while she dealt with breaking off her seven year relationship, and them falling in love and being really happy, nice and slow and easy. Enjoy!
Companion fic: just happy to be here
Roll to Me - Del Amitri
Look into your heart pretty baby
Is it aching with some nameless need
Is there something wrong and you can't put your finger on it
Right then, roll to me
Near to You - A Fine Frenzy
You and I have something different
And I'm enjoying it cautiously
I'm battle scarred, I am working oh so hard
To get back to who I used to be
He's disappearing
Fading suddenly
I'm so close to being yours
Won't you stay with me
Firecracker - Ryan Adams
lady, your kicks of silence cough into your room
kiss me slow and softly make me dream of you
well, everybody wants to go on forever
i just wanna burn up hard and bright
i just wanna be your firecracker
and maybe be your baby tonight
Suspended - Matt Nathanson
with your breathing, filling up my lungs
i can almost believe that i'm almost enough
spent all of my life emptied of anthems
and bracing for something that never did come
sunshine, i'm beginning to like this
Crash Into Me - Dave Matthews Band
Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare boned and crazy for you
When you come crash
into me, baby
[...]
Hike up your skirt a little more
and show the world to me
Just A Kiss - Lady Antebellum
Lying here with you so close to me
It's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe
I'm caught up in this moment, I'm caught up in your smile
I've never opened up to anyone
So hard to hold back when I'm holding you in my arms
But we don't need to rush this, let's just take it slow
Paperweight - Joshua Radin & Schuyler
Happy to lay here
Just happy to be here
I'm happy to know you
Play me a song
Your newest one
Please leave your taste on my tongue
Paperweight on my back
Cover me like a blanket
