Nothing but time

by diellemabelle

AU. Lightning is a GC officer faced with the toughest decision of her life. Having arrested someone important to her, she feels responsible, as if she alone has to save her. But will her feelings get through to the juvenile delinquent, or is it already too late? "Call me out my regrets/ only make me stronger yet." Based on the songs "Nothing but Time" and "Clone" by Metric.

2. Song Lyrics

"Nothing But Time" by Metric

Steal once
Pay twice

Advice to heed
I won't
I might

Advice to heed
Steal once
Pay twice

Advice to heed
I won't
I might

Advice to heed
Steal once
Pay twice

Advice to heed
I won't
I might

Advice to heed
Steal once
Pay twice

Advice to heed
I won't
I might

(Advice to heed)

You always said that love was not enough
Always on the move

(Advice to heed)

And even though we long to shut it up
We could never choose

(Advice to heed)

Now we know there's nothing awaiting us
Better than the truth

(Advice to heed)

I wanted to be part of something
I got nothing but time
So the future is mine

(Advice to heed)

I wanted to be part of something
I got nothing but time
So the future is mine

(Advice to heed)

I wanted to be part of something
I got nothing but time
So the future is mine

"Clone" by Metric

Call me out
My regret
Only makes me
Stronger yet

Nothing I've ever done right
Happened on the safe side
It's the other way
I'm missing everyone I know now

It's too late in the day,
Too late in the day to take you on all the rides
I was afraid to tell you that

Back to that
Photograph
Can you clone me?
I look like everyone you know now

It's too late in the day,
Too late in the day to turn it around or change my mind
It's too late in the day to take you on all the rides
It's too late in the day to tell me I'm off the path
We're already in the aftermath

Call me out
My regret
Only makes me
Stronger yet

It's too late in the day,
Too late in the day to turn it around or change my mind
It's too late in the day to take you on all the rides
It's too late in the day to tell me I'm off the path
We're already in the aftermath
