Disclaimer: I don't own a thing, and the Counting Crows own this amazing song.

AN: I once again changed some of the genders in the song so it will flow properly.

Thank you to those who are reviewing for the reviews, this chapter goes out to all of you.

Gonna get back to basics
Guess Ill start it up again
I'm falling from the ceiling
You're falling from the sky now and then

I let myself get hurt. I deserve this pain. You have no idea how hard it was for me to walk away from you, to leave you like that. But now the control is back. I'm putting myself back together, slowly but that's ok. I just wish that you would show some sign of life. Ryan comes home and tells me I was brilliant, and holds me while I cry. I never cry. Fuck you Troy Bolton.


Maybe you were shot down in pieces
Maybe I slipped in between

We were 9 years old and were playing manhunt in the park behind the pool. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was nighttime pitch dark, the boys said that way the game would be more difficult. I was scared, but I wasn't about to show it. I didn't have to though, because you knew. When we had to run and hide you took my hand and let me hide with you. You promised me that you would never leave me alone, and that I would never have to be scared—because I had you. You told me that if I was ever scared I could call you on our walkie talkies and you would run to my rescue.

You never covered what I was supposed to do when you were the one scaring me


But we were gonna be the wildest people they ever hoped to see
Just you and me
So why'd you come home to this sleepless town
Its a lifetime commitment
Recovering the satellites
All anybody really wants to know is...
When you gonna come down

They tell me that you're taking something. That the second I walked away you popped a pill into your mouth and the ipod into your ears. I want to confront you but I'm scared. I can't even describe the state you are in. People stare at you, but you're too far gone to notice. They whisper. And I stare, and tell them to screw themselves. They quiet, but I know it's not for long.


your mother recognizes all you're desperate displays
and she watches as her babies drift violently away

I'm driving home and watch as your mother kicks you out of the house. She's a wreck, screaming, crying, and pushing you trying to get a reaction. You show none. You just pick up your bag and walk away. I don't even know if what you do can be considered as walking anymore, you float. And that's not a compliment.


till they see themselves in telescopes
Do you see yourself in me?
Were such crazy babies, little monkey
Were so fucked up, you and me

I'm at the park, sitting on the swing trying to clear my mind when you appear. You don't even look at me; I doubt you know I'm there. You're singing our song, the same song I've been desperately trying to get out of my head. I put the mixtape away again. I put it away praying that my feelings for you would follow suit.


So why'd you come home to this faithless town
Where we make a lifetime commitment
To recovering the satellites
And all anybody really wants to know is...
When are you gonna come down

You are out of control, you're face is strained, eyes glazed and tired, and you look like you haven't showered or slept in days. I'm no longer scared, I'm pissed.


He sees shooting stars and comet tails
He's got heaven in his eyes
He says I don't need to be an angel
But I'm nothing if I'm not this high

You somehow make your way to the music room, where I am playing my anger off. I'm singing with rage as my fingers dominate the piano. You stumble and I scream. I tell you that you're being selfish and that you have no idea how petrified your mother is. I tell you that you look like shit and you need to stop taking the pills. I scream about how everybody's talking about you, that they all judge you now; I push over some chairs when I tell you how much time Ryan and Gabriella have been spending together. I'm crying, you're making me cry again. I can't even catch your eyes you are so messed up, which angers me more. My path of destruction brings me to you, you are standing inches away from me and I am doing all I can to get a reaction, but it's to no avail.


But we only stay in orbit
For a moment of time
And then you're everybody's satellite
I wish that you were mine

I'm pissed and confused and you won't show emotion. I do the only thing I know to do, the only thing that has somewhat brought you out of your daze in the past. I kiss you. I kiss you with everything I have, sacrificing my heart in pure desperation that it will bring you around. I need to bring you back, nothings the same without you.


So why'd you come home to this angels town
Its a lifetime decision
Recovering the satellites
Everybody really knows for sure...

I pull away and almost think I see something in your eyes when thud umpf.

For the second time this year I find myself beneath you, except this time, I'm positive that you're not conscious.


That you're gonna come down
that you're gonna come down
