You can laugh, you can feel fine
You can dance with a little twist
You turn your pretty red head, babe
You forget that I exist

Can you see yourself in my bed at night?
Would you leave me at the side of the road?
Would you walk right up to me?
Would you talk to me?

I'm already asking, I'm down on my knees
I'm already begging, begging you please

Can you teach me how to fly?
Can you see I'm scared to die?
And I've only just begun to learn to crawl
Can you teach me how to fight?
Can you keep me up all night?
Can you be there on the ground if I should fall
Fall for you

I can feel it like the spider's sting
Like a memory in my mouth
I feel like the morning fell
Like the bottom's fallen out

I can see what's up there above it all
Laying down in the valley below
I can walk right up to you
I can talk to you

I'm already asking, I'm down on my knees
I'm already begging, begging you please

Can you teach me how to fly?
Can you see I'm scared to die?
And I've only just begun to learn to crawl
Can you teach me how to fight?
Can you keep me up all night?
Can you be there on the ground if I should fall
Fall for you


This is an idea I had years ago when first vidding BSG femslash, but I knew I wasn't ready to make it yet. (One, because it was a Big Idea vid that scared me. Two, I didn't know what the hell I was doing.) For a long time I wasn't sure it would actually happen. I'm very glad it did.

To comment on the source, it was such a treat to have actual eyesex to work with instead of having to construct my own. I appreciated that. And them being all up in each other's faces. And loving golden showers. Thank you, Starbuck and Kat, for boinking for 3 seasons and letting me watch.

More than anything, the vid represents my coming full circle. It's a very personal vid for me for that reason. I was able to take all the motion, cutting, and pacing things I've learned over the last few years and apply it to the source that is still so deep in my heart. This marks the end of this first era of my vidding life, and I am content. I have learned to crawl. I have no idea what the next era will look like, but I'm excited to find out.

All feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you, and enjoy.
