And that's a really cool theory- it makes sense, too.

Summary: This song, 'Fearless (250 and Dark Stars)' by Falling Up is absolutely perfect for these two.
Falling Stars
~Empty house far away
Lost in lonely space
From the shallows in love
To the depths of your scars
You know you want to change
In the rafters, a vate
Fixed and spinning late
There's a certain fear
Even light with control
Lights outside our homes
Wait for every tear~
There's a certain symmetry in the way you two move, a certain brokenness in the reflection you two share. Slide your intangible fingers up underneath the too tangible mask, and feel the tears lingering there; lie there under the bright sky of each other's presence, and wish on the falling stars in each other's eyes. Wish for that crack in the mirror in mend itself, and wish for that certain symmetry not to end in certain tragedy. Light that candle and pretend that you can glimpse a future in its fire. Blow it out again and save it for another day. Watch each other's backs and pretend like you don't know it's going to end soon, going to end in a bang and a whisper and a happily-never-after and –and –and – and
~So exit the fall
And now it's over
You're learning
It's all before your heart~
Love hangs heavy around your neck, and you can't tell if it's a noose or just a chain. No one ever said love was beautiful- it's far from. It's a symphony of confusion and emotion and fried nerve-endings, and you can't speak the feelings that are bubbling up in your throat aloud because Pryce always said mixing metaphors was bound to end in an explosion and you don't think you can bear to be burned again. And you were never one for poetry, but you'll write stanzas in your veins until your wrists start to bleed and you'll sing similes to the sky until the stars fall down to listen- listen- listen- listen
~I found a way out
Through everything I've known
I'm walking fearless
With my faith down and all that I own
Don't take my picture
Cause I won't be there standing alone
I'm living fearless, so fearless
Like every day's my own~
Press your mouths together and breathe promises into each other's lungs; lean your head against each other's chests and listen to the heart that sounds not like a shell echoing the never-seen seashore or home but the most beautiful mixture of both. Kiss away long-faded tears that only you can see, and be careful when you speak, because you don't want to reopen those invisible old wounds. Forever is strewn across your faces like falling stars, and as half-moon lips meet you find yourself thinking that maybe fate has pity- pity- pity- pity
~Steady hands in the planes
Calculated ways
To call it ailing in figure
Hearts far away
When you work so late
From a distant end~
There's beauty in a train wreck, and you know it well. It's a collision that burns like hellfire in your mind years after it's done, and the orchestra of grating metal that brings you to your knees and forces you to listen.
The two of you are more like the beauty of a falling star: there's no crash, no noise. Just the silence of the comet as it plummets down to earth, dazzling all of those it leaves in its wake- wake- wake- wake
~Call it what you want
Call it a game
Call it insane
All of these voices~
Differences weigh each other out to create flawless equilibrium, especially when the differences aren't all that different at all. The broken bones have been set, and the last star has fallen over the horizon. You aren't hand-in-hand, watching the world burn down; you're hand-in-hand, watching it resurrect itself again. You still dream in Technicolor, but you don't keep your eyes open when you kiss anymore. You still think in clunky sentences, but your voice is cinematic wonderment and final prayers answered- answered- answered- answered
~I'm calling from the back of your mind
From the places you'll never reside
Where your thoughts collide
See places and thousands of faces
All at the same time
Look, everybody close your eyes
Travel to the place in the back of your mind
The place you'll never reside
Where thoughts combine
See places and thousands of faces
All at the same time~
The skewed perceptions of those star-crossed always did sound most eloquent, especially when they were shared under the promise of the midnight ocean.
