I know the first verse doesn't really match up, but I thought of this song as I was going through my playlist.
News report: I am a liar. I didn't keep to my schedule, so now I have to finish my lineart.
You were in college working part time waitin' tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin'
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
Sabrina flicked through the channels on the TV, bored out of her mind. It was raining, so the only thing to do was read, but her head hurt too much to even try researching anything now. The images shifted, and she found one of her favorite shows was on…
I say "Can you believe it?"
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I can see it.
Yes, yes, I can see it nowDo you remember, we were sitting there, by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
She awoke to the cushions shifting beneath her. Groggily, she opened her eyes a smidge, and found Puck was settling in next to her.
He didn't say anything, just sat down and picked up the remote.
"Don't you dare, fairy boy," she scowled at him.
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakesBut we got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes, I thought aboutDo you remember, we were sitting there, by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
"What? You weren't even watching it! Your eyes were closed!"
"…fine."
She closed her eyes, and soon she drifted to sleep.
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mineOh, oh, ohAnd I remember that fight
Two-thirty AM
Yes, everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye
cause that's all I've ever known
And you took me by surprise
You said, "I'll never leave you alone"
Puck looked at the sleeping figure next to him. Had she just consented? Really? Was she too tired to fight or something? He couldn't remember her ever turning down a fight because she was too tired.
Huh.
You said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine"You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you believe it?
Going to make it now
I can see it
I can see it now
After a long time staring at the screen, he eventually closed his eyes, and fell asleep beside her.
This song has nothing to do with the story at all, but it really has the mood that this story needed.
