Fanmix, Part 2
So these are...mostly songs for couples that I have some fondness for, with the recurring theme of there being major obstacles standing in the way of what would be the truest of all true loves . Which means that there's the inevitable Plaude songs, Sandra/Noah, Simone/Isaac, and more!
Simone/Isaac
It’s a Wonderful Li(f)e- The Real Tuesday Weld
When you're drunk and your money's spent,
I'll drive you home and I'll pay your rent,
Say you're beautiful when you're not beautiful.
And when you're sick you know I'll change your sheets,
I'll bring you drugs, sing you to sleep,
Pray for miracles when you don't believe in miracles.
Cinnamon- The Long Winters
I have too many stories, keeping it serious,
Some are collectors, keeping it straight,
It was a hospital,
I was delirious,
I clung to the stretcher
And drew them a heart.
Noah/Sandra
Set the Story Straight- Tom McCrae
I'll be the one to set the story straight
I'll be the one to take your hand and say
Now we run, what's done is done
Let time heal time, your hand in mine
The Big Fight- Stars
How could you do it?
I couldn’t say
Years built on sand
June until May
Second to second
Lied even while you held my hand
Matt/Daphne
Please Forgive Me- David Gray
Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
I’m No Angel- Dido
If you tell me that I can't, I will, I will, I'll try all night
And if I say I'm coming home, I'll probably be out all night
I know I can be afraid but I'm alive
And I hope that you trust this heart behind my tired eyes
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I won't try and try
Claude/Peter
The Tension and the Terror- Straylight Run
I try but I'm not convincing,
Your lips they pout and twist and,
I die trying just to keep myself from kissing you,
You take in everything with a certainty I envy
It's somehow all I need, just keep me guessing
The Sound of Coming Down- The Long Winters
Quit hiding that you’re trying to get close to me
I believe it’s the one thing you said without smiling
It’s dubious or it’s cruel
I’m losing my homemade cool
Are you fueling the loose ends?
Are you cooling your jets?
You hide in my bed and I’m hiding in my bed
I can’t face the cold grey cold
You can’t play nursemaid and be the crazy patient
Claude & Sarah*
Birds- Kate Nash
All the stars up in the sky
And the leaves in the trees
All the broken bits that make you jump up
And grassy bits in between
All the matter in the world is
how much I like you
I’m Making Eyes At You- Black Kids
I'm making eyes at you,
I've been making these eyes now, making these eyes since '82.
I've making them green and gray and brown and delta blues.
I'm reciting the mantra, but I can't tell you,
because you're missing to me, that’s all you'll ever be.
Bonus, Somewhat Hopeful Song
At the Sea- I Am Kloot
One day, where the shoreline breaks,
We'll write in sand all our mistakes,
For the sea to wash away,
And you shall sit with me.

*I will justify my OFC shouldering her way into this because a) she totally would shoulder her way into anything b) the songs are too perfect not to use, and c) they're not meant to be so much a romantic pairing as a friends pairing. Hence the "&" as opposed to "/". Yes I am that pathetic, thank you. Admitting it is the first step.
Comments are greatly appreciated, as is credit for the icons, should you...really get any desire at all to use them. (Also, a few more-of-the same icons here.)
