When you try your best, but you don't succeed
Ron had tried to come back, almost immediately, but they were hidden too well.
When you get what you want, but not what you need
He had got his warm bed and proper meal, but he wasn't satisfied.
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
He spent many sleepless nights thinking about them. About her.
Stuck in reverse
But, as much as he wished, nothing could make time go backwards.
And the tears come streaming down your face
Hermione sat curled up on one of the armchairs, crying silently.
When you lose something you can't replace
She couldn't help but wonder of the possibility that he may never see him again.
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Why was she so stubborn? Why was he so oblivious?
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
"It doesn't just turn lights on and off" said Ron.
And ignite your bones
" I don't know how it works or why it happened then and not any other time, because I've been waiting to come back ever since I left…
And I will try to fix you
But I was listening to the radio, really early on Christmas morning, and I heard… I heard you."
And high up above or down below
'Ron had had a fit of gallantry and insisted that Hermione sleep on the cushions from the sofa, so that her silhouette was raised above his.'
When you're too in love to let it go
'Harry wondered whether they had fallen asleep holding hands'
But if you never try you'll never know
"…Explains everything you need to know about girls. If only I'd had this last year, I'd have known exactly how to get rid of Lavender and I would've known how to get going with…"
Just what you're worth
"Nice," said Ron, as with one final flourish of her wand, Hermione turned the leaves on the crab-apple tree to gold. "You've really got an eye for that sort of thing."
Lights will guide you home
"And the light went out in my room, but another light appeared right outside the window."
And ignite your bones
"It was a ball of light, kind of pulsing, and bluish, like that light you get around a portkey, you know?"
And I will try to fix you
"I knew this was it," said Ron. "I grabbed my stuff and packed it, then I put on my rucksack and went out into the garden…
Tears stream down on your face
'Hermione's eyes were swimming with tears again.'
When you lose something you cannot replace
"I've also modified my parent's memories…"
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
"… we can't order them to die for us-"
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Running at Ron, she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth…
Lights will guide you home
…The little ball of light was hovering there, waiting for me, and when I came out it bobbed along a bit and I followed it behind the shed and then it… well, it went inside me."
And ignite your bones
"… right into my chest… I could feel it, it was hot."
And I will try to fix you
"… I knew it will take me where I needed to go."
