She's Got A Way: Billy Joel ~ 9th Doctor & Rose
Ta, I'm the 9th Doctor. Apparently I'm supposed to have a little journal to keep thoughts in. No thanks to the TARDIS. What if this ends up in the wrong hands? No problem, it's electronic. -Her smart mouth response. And of course there's a lock on it that only I can access, yada yada yada. And I'm supposed to write in this whenever I'm bored. Sure, I should be able to ignore it, right? Wrong. The TARDIS is connected me, sending annoying pings in my head that refuse to go away. I've only lasted 14 hours with ignoring it before it drove me crazy. This is my first entry:
It's amazing at how certain situations can make you re-think a person, an object, or even your whole life. After Rose and I had an especially tough trip, she decided we should have a relaxing "night". (You never know when it's night or day in here, time machine.) She happened to fall asleep on me in the middle of the movie, not that I'm complainin' or anythin'...it's just that there is too much tension between my big ol' brain and hearts. My brain is tellin' me that I can't fall in love with her, she's human. But my hearts beg to differ. She's special, a one-of-a-kind person, and one that I just can't ignore. I carried her to her room and set her down. I noticed she had some CDs lying on her bed, and I picked them up to look at them. Coldplay, one read. I snorted, what type of music is that? I'd have to talk to Rose about that later. Electric Lights Orchestra? I suppose I could live with that. The Beatles and Elton John, ah good old classics. I have to take Rose to a Beatles concert one of these days.
I noticed she's got some American ones though, and they're quite an interesting mix, mainly from the 70s. She's got some Fleetwood Mac, James Taylor, Don McLean, and others that surprised me that she had. Huh, and looky here, some Billy Joel. I remember seeing him in concert in my…I think my 4th self. Course, I went to the future. I flipped the CD cover over and ran down the list. Piano Man, We Didn't Start the Fire, Say Goodbye to Hollywood, The Stranger, She's Got A Way…I froze and stared at it. Making sure Rose was asleep, I took the CD with me and went to the Console Room.
I slid the CD into the player and shuffled it to that song and closely listened to the lyrics:
She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her
She's got a way of pleasin'
I don't know what it is
But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway
Weird, this sounds like he's describing me and Rose.
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way of talkin'
I don't know why it is
But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere
Definitely weird. This is sort of creepin' me out at how it exactly describes how I feel about her.
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around
I sighed, remembering all the times she grabbed my hand and all of a sudden I see the world in a new way.
She's got a way of showin'
How I make her feel
And I find the strength to keep on goin'
She's got a light around her
And ev'rywhere she goes
A million dreams of love surround her ev'rywhere
Without her, I'd probably be mopin' around somewhere in the TARDIS, feelin' sorry for myself and wallowing in self-pity. Yup, sounds like what'd I'd do.
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around
She's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without her anyway
When the song finished playing, I realised how much she really means to me. I grinned and quickly set the coordinates on the TARDIS. Now all I could do is wait for her to wake up and tell her that she's most definitely got a way that heals me with everything she does.
