A/N: This is a little thing I wrote as a result of listening to too much Grey's music. I blame it totally on that. This is season 2. Addison/Meredith.
Off the Ground
(Addie)
Look at her, she's young,
and having so much fun.
Don't wanna be the second best,
nor know what my horoscope predicts.
'
Listen to her play,
has something to say.
Ha, ha, ha.
I don't wanna think,
just pour me a drink.
Forget that I'm waiting.
I lost the heart of my man,
maybe it will come around.
Here I wait.
'
'
(Mer)
If I could shake it like her
Derek would be mine.
I will be up to date
and I'll shimmy better than her.
'
Oh, she sure can groove,
working all the things
I don't know how to do.
Now I'm looking at the ground,
searching for the love I thought I found.
'
'
(Addie)
See here we are at the same bar.
Joe just poured me a drink,
cause I need a lie tonight.
Derek doesn't hear me at all,
maybe he hears you.
I should give him a call.
'
'
(Mer)
Awkward sitting so near you,
shooting up Tequila isn't as much fun.
Listen to you talk,
chirp, chirp, chirp.
I hear Derek's name,
ow, ow, ow.
'
(Addie)
Putting back my phone,
looking at you,
maybe we should talk,
have some
blah, blah, blah.
'
'
(Mer)
Using hidden words,
but everything seems so clear.
'
My baby never show.
I'm always waiting.
'
Don't be surprised when I'm on my knees.
You know I see him every day,
begging him not to go away.
'
'
(Addie)
I don't even know you
Couldn't call you anything
I'm sorry for being
The Ruler of All That Is Evil
'
'
(Mer)
Ha, ha, ha.
But seriously, seriously,
forgive me and this stupid longing.
Crazy me, crazy life.
'
Never mind my habits.
Ending up on bad places,
like on bars along with boys
'
I can see that you are
pretty, pretty, pretty.
That you have a sunny smile
and a witty eye.
What are you doing at a place like this,
where there's girls like me and not like you?
'
'
(Addie)
Just pour me a drink, Joe,
cause now I'd like a kick.
Smirk, smirk, smirk.
'
'
(Mer)
Addie, can I call you so?
Something in common,
kind of friends.
Maybe it's too hot,
burning on my fingertips.
Too hot for me to touch.
'
Maybe it's a bad idea,
us in a bar,
usually ends bad for me.
'
'
(Addie)
I'm not O'Malley,
I won't cry.
'
I'm waiting, not making a sound,
never ever heard at all,
sigh, sigh, sigh.
Even if I'm just down the hall,
he won't come around.
'
Whatever.
Throw away reality.
Let emotions sipper in,
through the cracked life of ours.
We're ships leaking like sifts.
'
'
(Mer)
You look so sad,
but it kind of suits you.
'
I put away some strands of hair,
fallen like a waterfall of fire
in the way of your cheek.
'
Behind your ear,
your skin is soft and warm.
'
You look at me,
with questions in your eyes.
'
'
(Addie)
Put your lips to mine.
I needed to know,
the salt and bitter lips of yours.
They taste sweet.
'
Usually I'm not this impulsive.
Kiss, kiss, kiss.
'
'
(Mer)
I don't even like you,
but you make me boil inside.
This is a strange compound of emotions.
Your hot breath against my neck,
sends me shivers down my spine.
I whisper:
Please take me somewhere?
'
Roll, roll, roll.
Cab, window, stroll.
Mom's house.
Rip off your clothes.
Fall on top of the bed.
'
Give me your skin, your touch.
Make it all better.
I know it will cure
everything.
'
'
(Addie)
Probably fools,
wasting up our lips.
Moan, moan, moan.
Here's my empty body.
Take it and discover me please.
'
Touching you,
your skin tastes salt,
your smell is like flowers.
'
Everything I know,
goes to splinters.
Why do we feel,
why do we touch like this?
'
'
(Mer)
Ecstatic.
Never knowing when we lost
the game we've played.
'
Everything you see,
everything you do,
everything you touch,
is me.
'
At least for this moment.
Baby, baby, baby.
'
'
(Addie)
As the fire fades away,
we scramble up our shattered pieces,
make the facade reappear.
I wish it was simple,
but we give up easily.
Trip, trip, trip.
'
'
(Derek)
Baby you didn't tell you'd be out so late.
I'm here alone,
looking at the ground for the love I've found
You've been out all night.
What have you done?
'
'
(Addie)
Maybe I just found a friend.
Picking it up from laying there on the ground.
'
I tell him nothing,
but here I am again,
doing something
dirty but mostly cruel.
'
Even though it surely is
much worse this time,
I can't help but smile.
It's another feeling now.
'
'
(Derek)
When I take you in my arms
I smell something different.
What did you do?
Hey, hey, hey?
'
You have nothing to say,
but I know that smell.
It's like flowers and salt.
'
Here I've just been waiting for you,
and there I lost all my love to the ground.
'
'
(Addie)
Yes,
you lost her to the ground.
She's been waiting for you,
as have I.
Both on the ground,
but I picked her up
and together,
we picked ourselves up
from under your feet.
'
Apparently it's our time to
stomp on you.
'
Bye trailer.
Bye Derek.
'
Hello life.
