In the middle of White Version as of today, and with my fangirlism just popping up, this couple happens to steal my thoughts most of the time :D Set to Christina Perri's new song "Arms". Listen to it, and you'll get it C:
P.s. here's a key -italics in the middle = memories
Italics on the left = song lyrics
normal = ...well the story C:
When he first saw her, he'd laughed; when she'd argue, he'd scoff.
But when she'd cry, he'd turn away,
Because he hurt.
And when he hurt, he felt father's hate.
You put your arms around me
When he challenged her, he'd jeer; when she fought, he retaliated
but only half-heartedly
and I believe that it's easier
And when she won, he collapsed; when she laughed, he sunk.
But when she offered her hand, he declined,
Because he needed it.
And when he needed, he knew father's neglect.
for you to let me go
When he saw her, he'd scoff; when she followed, he yelled.
But when he bellowed, she whispered,
And he listened.
But when he listened, he heard a warmer voice
I hope that you see right through my walls
And when he heard, he'd float; before he knew it, he fell.
But when he did, he knew
it was her.
Father was nothing like her.
I hope that you catch me
When he fell, she ran; when he felt her, she was there.
And as he shivered,
He knew.
Father's arms were never this warm
because I'm already falling
When she walked, he ran; when she smiled, he laughed,
And he knew he'd never let go
Again.
He'd never let go again.
I'll never let a love get so close
But when she stood, he sat; when she waited, he hastened,
And when she angered, it burdened
His heart.
You put your arms around me
It all replayed in his mind.
As she rose...
When he stood,
...she let go...
he never looked back,
...and he knew...
and not once did he say
...she was gone.
good-bye.
and I'm home.
