Right Here Waiting – Richard Marx
Oceans apart, day after day
And I slowly go insane
Eragon sat across the campfire from Arya, watching while she spoke about Faolin, tears streaming down her face. They were sitting in the same clearing, yet he had never felt so far away from her. He yearned to reach out and comfort her but the obvious love in Arya's voice was driving him crazy.
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
Her bell-like voice usually warmed Eragon's heart, but tonight it drove ice-cold shards deep inside him as she tried to muffle the sobs that were threatening to explode out of her.
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Eragon knew that his life would last for so long, maybe hundreds more years, but Arya is the only one he would ever love – the one who had captured his heart.
Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
He would spend eternity waiting for her to come back to him.
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Shattering into a million pieces every time Arya rejected him, Eragon's heart could not take much more – But it would try... for her.
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
He had taken for granted the times when they were together, laughing as friends – seeing her smile, the joy in her eyes. Now Arya was so far from him and the cold silence hurt Eragon more than any sword ever could.
Oh, can't you see it, baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Why couldn't she see that her rejections had hurt him and distracted him from his duties more than anything else ever could?
Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
"After Galbatorix is dead, I will be there waiting for her" Eragon vowed to himself.
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Maybe a relationship would distract him – he didn't care. If Galbatorix struck him down because he was protecting Arya, it would be worth it, because she would still be walking the Earth. He would take that chance if it meant that she loved him too.
Oh, can't you see it, baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Eragon would always be there, if she needed a friend, a shoulder to cry on, or a lover... He would be whatever she wanted.
Waiting for you
Vel eïnradhin iet ai Shur'tugal, eka weohnata sitja, wiol ono Arya.*
