This song came on my iPod while I was in the shower and I got the itch to use the lyrics for a story. Well, two stories actually. Anyway, in case you've never heard the song before, it's called "Sky," and it's sung by Joshua Radin and Ingrid Michaelson.
I'm including the lyrics below as a sort of prequel to explain the inspiration behind each story.
Hope you enjoy!
(P.S. It's late and I wrote this all in one sitting, so if there are any typos, I apologize.)
I woke
dreaming we had broke But this is the way I need to wake Oh, oh, oh, oh, you know
the way to keep me on my toes Last
night, we had a great fight But this is the way I need to wake Oh, oh, oh, oh, you know
the way to keep me on my toes Sometimes
I forget to love you like I should Oh, oh, oh, oh, you know the way
to keep me on my toes
Dreaming you left me for someone new
And
you cried, drying those brown eyes
Crying you're sorry - sorry
won't do
I wake to
you
And you never left me
All that I dreamt had been
untrue
Open my eyes
I see sky
I, I, I will be fine - just say
you'll stay forever mine
'Til we fall asleep tonight
I fell asleep in a horrible state
Then
dreamt that you loved my best friend
My heart would not mend -
seemed it was fate
I
wake to you
And you never left me
All that I dreamt had been
untrue
Open my eyes
I see sky
I, I, I will be fine - just say
you'll stay forever mine
'Til we fall asleep tonight
But I'd never leave you - no, I
never would
I never would
I, I, I will be fine - just say you'll stay
forever mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you know the way to keep me on my
toes
I, I, I will be fine - just say you'll stay forever mine
'Til
we fall asleep tonight
'Til we fall asleep tonight
