Hi guys. I really don't have any inspiration to my other fanfic, A Saturday Night, but I promise to continue when I get some. This is a song fic. It's after Ross and Rachel's break-up, and it's built on the song "Way Back Into Love" from the movie Music & Lyrics. Just a little idea I got, not that big of a deal. Enjoy.

Way Back Into Love

I've been living with a shadow over head

Rachel: "I hate that I still love your stupid brother."

I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed

Monica: "Honey you'll be fine… you guys will work it out."

I've been lonely for so long

Phoebe: "Yeah. You are after all Ross and Rachel."

Trapped in the past I just can't seem to move on

Rachel: "No Phoebe. We're not. Okay? I just… I need to get over him."


I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away

Ross: "She really hates me, I'm such an idiot."

Just in case I ever need them again some day

Chandler: "I don't know Ross… I hope you'll work it out."

I've been setting aside time

Joey: "Yeah, me too. I'm sure you will."

To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

Ross: "But I still don't understand how I managed to ruin this?"


All I wanna do is find a way back into love

Ross: "Look Rach…"

I can't make it through without a way back into love

Ross: "I can't live without you and I know that what I did really hurt you…"


I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine

Rachel: "Ross, I just… I can't forgive you."

I've been searching but I just don't see the signs

Rachel: "I thought you would never hurt me."

I know that it's out there

Ross: "I know. But everybody makes mistakes."

There's gotta be something for my soul somewhere

Ross: "I've never loved anybody the way I love you, Rach. You're the best thing that ever happened to me."


I've been looking for someone to shed some light

Rachel: "Ross don't, you're making me cry."

Not somebody just to get me through the night

Ross: "Chloe didn't mean anything to me, ever."

I could use some direction

Rachel: "I know, but you slept with her…"

And I'm open to your suggestions

Ross: "I'll do anything, if you'll just give me another chance."


All I wanna do is find a way back into love

Rachel: "Ross, you can't do anything. Only the time heals the wounds."

I can't make it through without a way back into love

Ross: "Not anything?"

And if I open my heart again

Rachel: "I'm gonna go, Ross."

I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

Rachel runs out of the door, but then comes back in and kisses Ross.


There are moments when I don't know if it's real

Ross: Oh my God.

Or if anybody feels the way I feel

Rachel: I realized that I can't live without you.

I need inspiration

Rachel: "But I haven't forgiven you yet."

Not just another negotiation

Ross: "Take all the time you want. I really do love you."
