I took my love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
And can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Oh, I don't know, oh, I don't know
Even though it was Santana who had picked Landslide as their number with Brittany, it was a personal favorite of Holly's and she could definitely relate to the lyrics. She felt very child-like at times, especially when it came to matters of the heart. She didn't know much about the heart, really. Just the rest of the physical mechanics. Sure, she had fun, but her life always seemed to be in turmoil. Never a steady job, not many friends to speak of, and definitely no serious romantic attachments. She tried to convince herself that in the end, she was happier than everyone else who weighed themselves down with all that responsibility. But lately, she hadn't been so sure. Especially after the incident with Will in this very choir room after they had tangoed, sang Kiss together and actually kissed. Holly had turned his offer of a date down, discouraged any further romantic developments between them and quickly fled the scene, and they hadn't spoken since. And she was trying to reassure herself that it didn't matter, that it didn't bother her. That she didn't miss him. She wasn't doing such a good job. She'd cried in her car after rejecting him, and she hadn't cried in awhile. Not since she'd shown up at Will's house after failing at leading glee club, actually. Not being a usually emotional person, Holly was sensing a pattern here. Will softened her, and made her feel things. Things that scared her, things that made her want to let her walls down and become vulnerable.
Well, I've been afraid of changing
Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older, I'm getting older too
Yeah, I'm getting older too
Holly had never met anyone like Will. Sure, many guys she'd known had pulled the nice, wholesome guy bit, but after they'd gotten what they wanted, that was out the window. Will was the real deal, what you saw was what you got. And Holly was beginning to wonder what would be wrong with giving him a chance, if he was so genuine. She found that she was happier around him, she smiled more, she laughed more. And she really loved helping out with the glee club. So, what's the worst that could happen? Holly decided not to let herself finish that thought, as she wasn't usually one to look on the bright side. That was it, she'd decided. She d go back to Will and tell him she wanted to try things again. And hopefully he still wanted to.
So take this love and take it down
Oh, if you climb a mountain and you turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring you down, down
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring you down
