zippogirl So here is part two of your gift Nadeen. I kinda threw it together, but it was made with a lot of love. Nate and Vanessa are the underdog couple. She's the girl from the wrong side of the tracks that's meant for bigger and better things and he's the boy who's taken a nice tumble from grace and doesn't quite know where to turn. They're just NOW getting it together after over 12 episodes of angsting for it and I am totally in love with their dynamic. Jessica and Chace have a really sweet chemistry that adds something extra to the show.
o1. Hear Me Out by Frou FrouSo listen up
The sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out
I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line, can you handle it
Episode: The Magnificent Archibalds, The Ex-Files
They aren't over. He thinks he's ended it and she thinks they're throught, but it's only the prelude. They've still got a whole song to go through. I chose this as the title song because a) it's an awesome song and b) this song is Nate and Vanessa to an absolute point. They're ALWAYS asking for second chances and to hear each other out.
o2. Skeptics and True Believers by The Academy IsWould you believe me
If I said I didn't need you
Cause I wouldn't believe you
If you said the same to me
Near death, last breath
And I'm barely hanging on
Would you believe me
If I said I didn't need you
Episode: There Might Be Blood, The Magnificent Archibalds
They're angry. They've both said and done things that they don't mean.
o3. Emergency by ParamoreAnd you do your best to show me love
But you don't know what love is
So are you listening
So are you watching me
Episode: There Might Be Blood
It feels like it's over the minute she sees him kissing Jenny. And she's angry because she was there before Jenny was, she liked him before Jenny did and Jenny was supposed to be her best friends. Best friends don't kiss the guy you're falling for.
o4. Vulnerable by Secondhand SerenadeTell me tell me
What makes you think that you are invincible
I can see it in your eyes that you're so sure
Episode: The Dark NIght
He's trying to win her over and they're both trying to get in. She's giving him a chance to fix the mistake he's made and choose her.
o5. Straightjacket Feeling by The All American RejectsYesterday was hell but
Today I'm fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all I ever thought you'd be
That face is tearing holes in me
Today I'm fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all the things you put me through
I'm moving on
And letting go of you
Episode: There Might be Blood
They've betrayed eachother. She went behind his back and he can't forgive her for being like EVERYONE ELSE in his life. He said he wanted to be with her, but he was sleeping with someone else...and now he's kissing her best friend. They're done and they're trying to move on.
o6. More Than Anyone by Gavin DegrawYou need a friend
I'll be around
Don't let this end
Before I see you again
What can I say
To convince you
To change your mind
Of me
Episode: It's a Wonderful Lie
She's owned up to her mistakes. Yes she took the letter and yes she's known that they both still have feelings for each other, but she's making up for it. She loves him, but the damage is done....she only hopes he'll forgive her. Every couple needs a sappy love song. This is theirs.
o7. Brighter by ParamoreNow I think I'm taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's yours and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time
No not this time
Episode: It's a Wonderful Lie
She's a friend first and a girlfriend second so she's doing what's right. She gives him the letter and she says goodbye....but not without letting him know how she feels. It shouldn't be this hard to love him, but it is.
End.
Happy Birthday Nadeen! I really hope you like your presents. And also thank Maddy (
