Hey! This popped into my head and I thought that I'd write it down. I don't think it's all that good. But maybe you guys will like it. It's my first Seth Summer and my first one shot. And it's my first songfic. Enjoy. Jamie.
I don't own The O.C. or Imogen's song...which rocks!
Summer's Point Of View
Skipping beats, flashing jeeps
I am struggling
Daydreaming, been sitting, the corner cafe
And I'm left in bits, recovered tectonic, trembling
You get me every time
You ramble on about your hair. The fact that it won't stay down. You curse yourself for being Jewish.
I smile.
"Summer? Are you listening?"
Why'd you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
"Of course Cohen."
You smile.
I love your smile. The way you talk. The way you walk.
"I hope you are. Cause what I'm saying is important."
You lean in to kiss me.
I pull away after a few minutes. "We should go."
You agree, and walk out the door.
I follow you.
Follow you home
You've got your headphones on
And you're dancing
Got lucky, beautiful shot
You're taking everything off
I watch your movements as you talk to everyone. You're talking about me, about us.
You make me happy without even trying.
You mouth the words "I love you" to me and I crumble on the inside.
Watch the curtains, wide open
And you fall in the same routine
Flicking through the TV
Relaxed and reclining
And you think you're alone
"I don't think this is a good idea." You say, worried.
You're worried that we're going to fall.
Because you have to leave.
"It's what you have to do." I say. Trying to be the strong one.
You kiss me once more. Attempting to reassure me that everything will work out.
Oh why'd you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
But nothing's really all right.
I watch as you leave me here. You have to go to college somewhere else. That's what's best for you.
But I'm stuck here. Because it's what's best for me.
I wish this could be different. But our lives never work the way we wish.
These days are harder without you.
I think it's because we had to say goodbye, and never really did.
We both didn't want to.
One of these days
You'll miss your train, and come stay with me
It's always say goodnight and go
We'll have drinks and talk about things
And any excuse to stay awake with you
You'd sleep here; I'd sleep there
But then the heating may be down again
At my convenience
We'd be good; we'd be great together
Go
You lay on the chair in my room.
I love the way you look.
You tell me that you can't take it anymore.
You need to come home and stay.
You need to be with me.
I need to be with you.
Why'd you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
I tell you that one day, everything will turn out right.
But at this moment, we have to live different lives.
You look crushed.
Once again, I have to be the strong one.
I have to do this for you.
Because I know that youcan become so much more.
Why is it always, always
Goodnight and Go
Goodnight and Go!
You tell me no. It's not fair.
You tell me that I'm more important.
You won't leave again.
I smile.
Knowing this is true.
Because with us, it's never say goodnight and go.
If you liked it let me know...maybe I'm an okay Seth Summer writer. Tell me!
