This is a songfic with "Hanging By A Moment" by Lifehouse, as you MAY have gleaned from the summary, seeing as you seem to have clicked this! It's EdWin, I suppose, if you squint--but then, so is FMA, no? I don't know when in the manga or anime this occurs, but I really ought to figure it out because, as you'll soon find out, it alters history at the end.

I don't own FMA, Ed, or Winry; neither do I own Lifehouse or "Hanging By A Moment."

Desperate for changing

"It's always the same damn thing, Edward! I fix you up every time you come hobbling home, but you two run away before I can so much as blink! Once—just once! —couldn't you stay here? Breathe! Nobody can be 'on' 24/7. You'll burn out."

Starving for truth

"You know that's not an option. We have to find the Stone, we have to get our bodies back. I can't just 'take a breather' because you think I should."

"And what's that supposed to mean?"

I'm closer to where I started

"That we've had this conversation, oh, I don't know, A MILLION TIMES! Just drop it, Winry!"

Chasing after you

"No!"

"Why?"

I'm falling even more in love with you

"Because!"

"Ugh! Why do I even bother having these conversations with you? We just go in circles every damn time."

"Hey, where are you going?"

Letting go of all I've held onto

"Out."

"That's bullshit, Edward! You're running, that's what you're doing."

I'm standing here until you make me move

"Winry, get out of the way."

"Make me."

"Don't fuck with me, I'm not playing. Move."

"No."

"Why are you doing this?"

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

"Because I'm not going to move until you make me a promise. Something's gotta give."

"I have no idea what you're on about."

"I want you to stay home."

"What?"

"Stay. Home. It's not complicated."

"But... I mean... why?"

Forgetting all I'm lacking

"Why do you think?"

Completely incomplete

"Why do I think? I think it's because you're being purposely difficult."

"If this is what will work, then this is what I'll try."

"Ugh, you...!"

"I'm not moving from this spot!"

I'll take your invitation

"Fine! I give! What do you want?"

You take all of me now...

"I want to come with you."

I'm falling even more in love with you

"What?! No! It's way too dangerous!"

"Oh yeah? What makes you so goddamn special?"

"I'm—I... am—what? What...? You—!"

Letting go of all I've held onto

"Stop spluttering like a fool! I want to come with you."

"No way in hell. Now get out of the way."

I'm standing here until you make me move

"I already TOLD you, I'm not moving!"

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

"Well, you're not coming either!"

I'm living for the only thing I know

"Yes, I—ow! What the hell was that for? Hey—come back here!"

I'm running and not quite sure where to go

"I said NO!"

"Damn you!"

And I don't know what I'm diving into

"Shit, Winry! Are you seriously chasing me?!"

"Are you seriously running?"

"Hate to break it to you, but I'm still—faster!"

Just hanging by a moment here with you

"EDWARD ELRIC! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!"

There's nothing else to lose

"OW! WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND—OW!— THESE GODDAMNED—OW!—WRENCHES!"

"Anything that will slow you down works, actually."

There's nothing else to find

"Oof."

There's nothing in the world

"Gotcha."

"The answer is still no."

That can change my mind

"Then you'll be here an awful long time, because I'm not going anywhere."

There is nothing else

"Get off of me."

There is nothing else

"Say yes."

There is nothing else

"I won't."

Desperate for changing

"You will."

Starving for truth

"Look, Winry... It's not like I don't want you to come..."

"—then say yes."

I'm closer to where I started

"...It's just not your burden to bear. Do you understand? It's us. We're the ones who screwed it all up, and we'll be the ones to fix it."

Chasing after you....

"I don't want to hear any more excuses, Ed, and I don't give a rat's ass about whose 'burden' it is to bear. I'm coming with you and that's final."

I'm falling even more in love with you

Letting go of all I've held onto

I'm standing here until you make me move

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know

"Fine..."

I'm running and not quite sure where to go

And I don't know what I'm diving into

Just hanging by a moment here with you

Just hanging by a moment (here with you)

Hanging by a moment (here with you)

Hanging by a moment here with you

"...go pack a suitcase."

Like the ending? I did. If you did too, please review! And if you want to see more, don't be afraid to dump suggestions on me either!
