Mixtape: Hawaii Five-OT4
Basically, the following is a ship manifesto posing as a mixtape. Contains more or less explicit spoilers up to 1x15. (And yeah, this is what happens when I'm sick. Painkillers and music make for a fine combination!)

Step One: One Is the Loneliest Number
The National - Sorrow (DL)
Sorrow found me when I was young / Sorrow waited, sorrow won / Sorrow that put me on the pill / It's in my honey, it's in my milk //
Don't leave my hyper heart alone / On the water / Cover me in rag and bones, sympathy
Justin Nozuka - I Don't Know (DL)
I never meant it to turn out like this / I'm a mess with no way out of this loneliness / No way, see I've walked through every single doorway / No way, I've driven down every single highway / No way, I'm swimming through the oceans, rivers, lakes and bays / There's no way / Oh, I've tried his way and her way and my way / There's still no way / I may be here tomorrow, but I don't know / I don't know
Measure - Begin Again (DL)
Wake up to sun / The morning does come / If all you can rely on is / The feel of your feet on the wood floor / If all you can depend on is how movement gives you some direction then //
Begin again / You're no calendar / You're no concrete plan / Begin again / Don't waste your time waiting for someone to tell you when //
Wake up to sun / 'Cause morning still comes / So move around your furniture / Or put it all out on the curve / And drive away to something new
Jack’s Mannequin - MFEO (Made for Each Other) Part 1 (DL)
I swim across an ocean / It's my mattress in the basement //
I talked so much, I'm sure / I didn't realize I'd gone crazy / Didn't catch my bloody nose / Or that my heart tried to explode //
A long (a long) way to the firework days / But I still like to burn, burn, burn / I'm always (I'm always) in the haze of a car crash / The orange airbag dust covers everything
Step Two: Get Connected
Metro Station - Seventeen Forever (DL)
You are young and so am I / And this is wrong / But who am I to judge? / You feel like heaven when we touch / I guess for me this is enough //
We're one mistake from being together / But let's not ask why it's not right
Jeremy Ashida - I Kinda Like You (DL)
I kinda like when you're acting tough and talking like you know everything / I kinda like how when we drive, we drive and never seem to get anywhere / And I kinda like how every time I press my brakes you always get a bit scared / And this may not be new news / But here's the conclusion I came to / That I kinda like you
Nada Surf - Beautiful Beat (DL)
Leave me alone, and there'll be / No one to get hurt / Nobody move and there'll be / Nothin' to disturb //
Beautiful beat, get me out of this mess / Beautiful beat, lift me up from distress //
I wanna redirect myself with you / 'Cause you understand
Smoke City - Underwater Love (DL)
When I first saw you / I was deep in clear blue water / The sun was shining / Calling me to come and see you //
This must be underwater love / The way I feel it slipping all over me / This must be underwater love / The way I feel it
Evans Blue - Eclipsed (DL)
We love our tragedies / We're both broken in our own little ways / We're broken, but we fit together just right //
I love your analogies / We're both crazy in our own little ways / We talk about the future and our past lives //
When our hearts meet, will we make it then / Will we even notice that they are eclipsed?
Newsboys - Woohoo (DL)
Request the honor of your presence / The tear gas has blown away / Put down your crumpets and your coffee now //
Underwater we go / Out of our ordinary selves / Stepping out / To where the people sing
Step Three: Better Together
Death Cab for Cutie - Talking Bird (DL)
Oh, my talking bird / Though you know so few words / They're on infinite repeat / Like your brain can't keep up with your beak //
You're kept in an open cage so you're free to leave or stay //
It's all here for you as long as you choose to stay / It's all here for you as long as you don't fly away
Stephen Fretwell - Run (DL)
Run, run like the wind / Don't wait for a thing / There is nothing here for you / But if you stay / Well then let me say / I'll go out of my way for you
Garbage - #1 Crush (DL)
I would die for you / I would die for you / I've been dying just to feel you by my side / To know that you're mine //
I will cry for you / I will cry for you / I will wash away your pain with all my tears / And drown your fears //
I will pray for you / I will pray for you / I will sell my soul for something pure and true / Someone like you //
I will lie for you, beg and steal for you //
I would die for you
James Morrison - Fix the World Up For You (DL)
But I've been doing all I can / To stop your falling / Even now I'm holding my breath for you //
You'll never gonna have to be alone / Yeah, you'll always know you got someone / To fix the world up for you //
Yeah, when the world comes crashing down / I'll be there, yes, you know / Gonna fix the world up, up for you
Step Four: Invincible
My Chemical Romance - Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back (DL)
I hope you’re ready for a firefight / Cause the devil’s got your number tonight / (They say) We’re never leaving this place alive / But if we sing these words we’ll never die //
We can leave this world / Leave it all behind / We can steal this car if your folks don’t mind / We can live forever if you’ve got the time
Boom!

(I'll happily elaborate on any of these song choices, by the way, or listen to other people's song choices. Hi, I'm Zarah, and I'm a music geek.)
