'Thinking'

Lyrics

With You (Shotgun Remix):

It had been one week since he'd left. He left for good this time. First her mom, then Riley... Now Spike.

After Riley left, Buffy and Spike had grown closer. But due to the Scoobies whining about how evil he was, how bad it was, she told him to leave. Now she spent her days remembering Spike, a bottle of whiskey always at her side.

I woke up in a dream today

To the cold and the static

and put my cold feet on the floor

Forgot all about yesterday day

Remembering im pretending to be who im not any more

A little taste of hypocrisy

And im left in the wake of the mistake

Spike stood on the back porch. It had been one week. Did she even wanna see him?

'Bloody hell. Sod this.' He thought, going to walk away... Until he saw her. Bottle of whiskey in her hand.

'She shouldn't be drinkin'.'

Slow to react

And even though you close to me

Your still so distant

And I can't bring you back

Buffy suddenly turned towards the back window. She could have sworn she felt him.

'Maybe Im drinking to much.' She thought, shrugging.

'But it feels like he's here... Watching me.'

It's true the way I feel

What's promised by your face

The sound of your voice

Is painted on my memory's

Even if your not with me

Im with you

Spike swallowed his pride, and walked into her house as if nothing ever happened.

"Ello there luv. What are ya drinkin'?" Spike smirked.

"Spike?"

"The one and only."

"I thought... I thought that I told you to get the hell of Sunnydale!" Buffy yelled. Trying to keep a strong front.

"Well, about half way to Las Vegas, I decided I missed you."

(you now I see given everything inside)

With you

( you now I see even when I close my eyes)

Hit you and you hit me back

We fall to the floor

The rest of the day stands still

Fine line between this and that

When things go wrong

I pretend that the past isn't real

Im trapped in this memory

And im left in the wake of the mistake

Slow to react

So even though your close to me

Your still so distant and I can't bring you back

"Is that why you're back?" Buffy asked, pretending to be angry... Although she could barley contain the happiness she felt.

"Does it matter?"

"Yes it matters! I thought I told you to stay gone!"

"I thought you'd be happy, pet. I thought we were friends. Everything was so good. Why won't you let me in your life?" He asked, emotions running wild.

"Because I don't want you in it."

It's true

The way I feel

What's promised by your face

The sound of your voice

Is painted on my memory's

Even if your not with me

Im with you

(you now I see given every thing inside)

With you

(you now I see even when I close my eyes)

With you

(you now I see given every thing inside)

With you

(you now I see even when I close my eyes)

"Luv, the sooner you stop lying to me the better. What's this really about?" Spike asked, moving towards her.

"If I tell you will it make you happy! My friends. It's about them. They'll never speak to me again if I let you in again."

No, no matter how far we've come

I can't wait to see tomorrow

No matter how far we've come I

I can't wait to see tomorrow

With you

"Sod the Scoobies dammit! Let me make you happy! I love you Buffy!" Spike rasped, grabbing her hands in his own.

"No. You don't. You can't." She said, shaking her head.

"I can, and I do. Buffy do you love me?"

"I.. Can't it's wrong." She said half heartly.

"S'not. Not because they say it is."

(You now I see given everything inside)

With you

(You now I see even when I close my eyes)

With you

( You now I see give everything inside)

With you

(You now I see even when I close my eyes)

"I do... I do love you." Buffy whispered.

"Good. Otherwise I'd tie you up, and make you love me!" Spike smiled and kissed Buffy.

"It's about damn time!" A young voice called down the stairs.

"Dawnie! Go to bed!" Buffy laughed.
