Hi friends!
I am in crazy-woman mode here at our new house. We are NOT fully unpacked, we're still awaiting major appliances and furniture, and it turns out that 100-year-old houses have a lot of quirks to be learned. The house has been unoccupied for over 2 years, so we're trying to clear out all the bugs and critters that like to linger inside and outside. It's been wonderful and stressful, all at once.
In the midst of all this I am trying to write Sweet Temptation, Kaidan's book. It's bits of the entire trilogy compiled into one book from Kai's point of view. I am 3/4 through Sweet Peril, so more than half way done! I am loving every moment of being lost in Kai's head, but it's been far more time consuming than I expected. I'm having to read through the original books carefully to make sure Kai's story is consistent. There are cool things I want to do with this book, but the deadline is looming and I'm afraid I cannot do it all.
That's where you come in...
My idea is to start each chapter with 1-4 lines from a song. I have a few in mind, but I would love to hear what songs come to mind for you! Please be as specific as possible - band/artist name, song title, and even exact lyrics/lines if you know them. You have no idea how helpful this will be! Eep! Anytime over the next few months, if you hear a line that makes you think of Kai, please run over to my blog and comment here or email me at wendyhigginswrites at gmail.com. It's probably not a good idea to tweet me with lyrics, because I'm having a hard time keeping up with my feed these days, and I don't want your comments to be lost in cyberspace. DMs are a definite no-I never check them.
I love you, I love you, I love you. Sending big hugs, lightening bugs, and bay breezes from our new southern home. And kisses from Kai. xoxo
Teasers coming soon...
This song remind me of Kai, especially these lyrics:
ReplyDeleteMiles away I can still feel you
Lay your head down on my embrace
My embrace
Far away
-When you can't sleep at night by Of mice and Men
Love it.
DeleteHero by Enrique Iglesias, perhaps? The lyrics are romantic :)
ReplyDeleteThis makes me think of when he's around Anna: Imagine Dragons - Demons
ReplyDelete[I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide]
Perfect!!!
DeleteOMG! Your idea is great Shanice. I really hope these lyrics are used in Sweet Temptation.
DeleteThat was the first song that came to my mind!
DeleteThat has always been my personal theme song for Kaidan. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Deleteperfect!!! wendy use this one!
DeleteAnd I, think you're from another world,
ReplyDeleteand I, I couldn't love another girl,
cause you, you make me feel like I'm intoxicated.
Intoxicated by The Cab
Great! Plus, another Cab fan! 😄
DeleteHaha! The Cab! \m/
DeleteOddly enough... the chorus of Wild Wild Love by Pitbull makes me think of Kai and Anna.
ReplyDelete"All this wild wild love of ours
It can't be tamed, no
For better or worse
A blessing or a curse
Long live this wild wild love of ours"
And even though I detest this band.....
"You and I
We don't wanna be like them
We can make it 'til the end
Nothing can come between
You and I"
-One Direction, "You & I"
I like your first suggestion better. I hate One Direction too. :)
DeleteThe entire song 505 by Arctic Monkeys is perfect, but especially these lines:
ReplyDelete"Stop and wait a sec,
Oh when you look at me like that my darling,
What did you expect,
I probably still adore you with your hands around my neck,
Or I did last time I checked,
Not shy of a spark,
A knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark,
Frightened by the bite though its no harsher than the bark,
Middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start"
Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis
ReplyDeleteMade me think of Kai's feelings towards Anna
"Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it your frozen
But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy
But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My hearts crippled by the vein
That I keep closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep,keep bleeding love...."
For some reason I always think of Kai and Anna when I hear this song.
ReplyDeleteHurricane by MS MR
The chorus
Welcome to the inner workings of my mind
So dark and foul I can't disguise
Can't disguise
Nights like this
I become afraid
Of the darkness in my heart
Hurricane
I like that one!
DeleteThis is nice.
DeleteWow... great choice.
DeleteAngel with a Shotgun - The Cab
ReplyDeleteOh, also Do I Wanna Know? by Arctic Monkeys. It makes me think of Kai's feelings towards Anna, and hers towards him.
ReplyDelete"Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you
So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart's still open and if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt. It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to"
I was just thinking that would be a good choice
DeleteBite My Tongue by You Me At Six ft Oli Sykes reminds me of Kaiden, and maybe his relationship with his dad, too, specifically this part:
DeleteYou keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you in me
I can't hate the ones who made me
I'm married to the music
For better or for worse
You say that I'm privileged but
My gift is my curse
I can't recall the last time
Someone asking how I was
Last I checked I was a fucking wreck
I called for help and no one showed up
That one is PERFECT for him and his dad!!
DeleteSo Close by Jon McLaughlin
ReplyDelete"So close, together.
And when I'm with you
So close, to feeling alive.
A life goes by,
Romantic dreams must die.
So I bid my goodbye
And never knew.
So close, was waiting,
Waiting here with you.
And now, forever, I know
All that I wanted
to hold you so close."
Oh, Calamity by All Time Low
I Won't Say I'm In Love from Hercules
Dirty Little Secret by All American Rejects
More Than You Know by Stereo Skylines
Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls
Good Girl by Carrie Underwood
Let It Go from Frozen
Monster by Skillet
"The secret side of me
I never let you see
I keep it caged
But I can't control it
So stay away from me"
Love so many of these! So Close (Go Enchanted and Jon, both great!), I Won't Say I'm In Love, Dirty Little Secret, Iris, and Let It Go are ALL favorites of mine!
DeleteHere I am waiting
ReplyDeleteI'll have to leave soon
Why am I holding on?
We knew this day would come
We knew it all along
How did it come so fast?
This is our last night but it's late
And I'm trying not to sleep
Cause I know, when I wake, I will have to slip away
The whole song of Daylight by Maroon 5
I think of Devils Don't Fly by Natalia Kills, especially in context with him and Anna.
ReplyDelete"You know devils don't fly
So don't expect me not to fall
Devils don't fly
But God we almost had it all
But I got chains and you got wings
You know that life ain't fair sometimes
Devils don't fly
But I try
Angels were never meant to fall
And you were the loveliest of all
If I thought God could fix it
I'd pray for your forgiveness
But I've been cast down, thrown out
When I crossed to the other side
No devils don't fly!"
I Feel a Sin Coming On by the Pistol Annies!
ReplyDeleteJace Everet - Bad Things
ReplyDeleteWhen you came in the air went out
and all those shadows there filled up with doubt
I don't know who you think you are
but before the night is through
I wanna do bad things with you.
I think this song is appropriate ( i love it) if you have the time you should listen it.
Parachute - Hurricane
Oh I knew that even if I kept you in the dark it would never do, because it only takes a spark.
This is one of many lines that reminds me of him, but I think you should listen the song! :D
Heaven Sent by Hinder
ReplyDeleteIt's freaking me out that I didn't see
You're so damn hot girl it's just crazy
And without a doubt I still can't believe
That you were right there in front of me
Never saw the chemistry
That was there with you and me
It's been a long time coming
[Chorus:]
Just waiting for an angel
To take me out of my hell
I'm falling for you
Just dropping out of thin air
You came out of nowhere
Right out of the blue
When heaven sent you
Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now
Again, I love this song to pieces. :)
DeleteFun! If this appears twice, it's because it disappeared on me the first time. :)
ReplyDeleteFaint by Linkin Park, the chorus and/or:
I am a little bit insecure a little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand I do what I can but sometimes I don't make sense
I am what you never wanna say but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear me out
Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning) by Vertical Horizon chorus works well, but also these:
So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely
Demons by Imagine Dragons
ReplyDeleteAgain, I love this song to pieces. :)
DeleteThese lines from Love Somebody by Maroon 5:
ReplyDeleteIf I fall for you, I'll never recover.
If I fall for you, I'll never be the same.
Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of good lines in this song but I especially like the chorus as it reminds me of Kai's 'line of work'
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
Yeah! Great point. Love the music video for this one too.
Deletetotally works with his "work"
DeleteHeart says I have to try
ReplyDeleteFor all the wherefores
All the whys
Head says I'll be lying
Like a building fell to the ground
The glass foundations crashing down
Love, there's no denying
Read more: Picture House - Fear Of Flying Lyrics
Okay, i'll put three lyrics. They're all from My Darkest Days (group).
ReplyDeleteThe first one is for the "before Anna Kai". When he doesn't know her yet:
"We don't have to go on dates, you don't have to like my friends
I won't get in your face when you're making other plans
If you're tired of the taste, you can try another blend
My heart will never break, I'm just here to break a sweat."
The second one is for when Anna and Kai are going through hard times in their relationship and when the world in general (haha). This is Still Worth Fighting For:
"So take a look into my eyes one last time
So we never forget
The way we were before
When we came alive at the moment we met
This is still worth fighting for."
And the last one it's when Kai is apart from Anna because he's in Cali with the band and working and all that. This is Without You:
"My heart breaks with every beat,
I can't explain what you do to me
So just say you'll promise me,
Please, take me if you ever leave
But the thought of you gone
Makes everything wrong in my life
So stay right here, right now
'Cause without you I'm a disaster."
Hope everything with the moving is doing fine and don't worry about Sweet Temptation, you go first! Love you lots, Wen! <3
LOVE THESE!! <3 xx
DeleteAMAZING!!! XD Just perfect, all of them!
DeleteNever let a woman go even when you know she can always be replaced.
ReplyDeleteShe can always be replaced.
Oh, lust only grows like anger and revenge or beauty comes and goes but love stays until the end.
Never let a woman go even when you know
Whether a flower in my hand or a gun in my hand, I'd give it all up for your hand in my hand.
For the sun on my skin as the morning begins, id die in the dark just to feel your skin on my skin.
Never let a woman go even when you know
Your soul
Your love
Your blood
Treasure every beating heart that sets your soul on fire.
Love will set your soul on fire
Love Lust - King Charles
It's too cold outside
ReplyDeleteFor angels to fly
An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eye
And hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line
Ed Sheeran - A team
I love this song.
DeleteI'm gonna pick up the pieces,
ReplyDeleteAnd build a Lego house
If things go wrong we can knock it down
My three words have two meanings,
There's one thing on my mind
It's all for you
And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now, now
I'm gonna paint you by numbers
And colour you in
If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall
And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before
Now I'll surrender up my heart
And swap it for yours
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
Don't hold me down
I think my braces are breaking, and it's more than I can take
And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I will I love you better now
Ed Sheeran - Lego House
I sense an Ed Sheeran pattern. Not that I can help it either. His music is SO good.
DeleteGive me love like her,
ReplyDelete'Cause lately I've been waking up alone,
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt,
Told you I'd let them go,
And that I'll fight my corner,
Maybe tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood turns into alcohol,
No, I just wanna hold ya.
Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, give me love,
Give me love like never before,
'Cause lately I've been craving more,
And it's been a while but I still feel the same,
Maybe I should let you go,
You know I'll fight my corner,
And that tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood is drowning in alcohol,
No, I just wanna hold ya.
Ed Sheeran - Give me love
(My Favourite! xx)
I was in the darkness waiting to be found
ReplyDeleteMy heart was locked away and beaten to the ground
Tried to find my way but there was no way out
But when you're close to me whenever you're around
You take the pain away, you make it worth the wait
And I pray that I will have you in my life always
And when my hope is gone you make me keep the faith
I guess what I'm tryna say
Baby, you got me falling uncontrollably in love
Never felt this way
Got my heart, my soul but, baby, that just isn't enough
My Name - Mclean
"Demons" by Imagine Dragons
ReplyDelete(I find the title perfect for such a story as Kaiden's) Also its a song about stuggling with love and greed (PERFECT!)
Here are the lyrics, please HIGHLY consider these :)
"Demons"
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
At the curtain’s call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Again, I love this song to pieces. :)
DeleteThis song always reminds me of Sweet Evil- "Like Sugar" by Matchbox 20
ReplyDeleteI'm walking behind you
Calling the way you
Give away all your secrets
You're taking the high road
And picking your battles
Just like the day I found you
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah you taste like sugar
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah you taste like sugar
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm starting to want you
More than I want to
This ain't my finest hour
There's something about you
That I could get in to
Something that's deep inside you
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah you taste like sugar
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Girl, you taste like sugar
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
If I turn away, away
I'll come back someday
Cause I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah you taste like sugar
I just want to make you go away
But you taste like sugar
Yeah, you taste like sugar
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
(Yeah, like sugar)
Hold On We're Going Home originally by Drake but I like Christina Grimmie's Version more.
ReplyDeleteLYRICS
I got my eyes on you
You're everything that I see
I want your high love and emotion endlessly
I can't get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your high love and emotion endlessly
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
Just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we're going home (home)

"The Reason" by Hoobstank
ReplyDeleteI'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You
and the reason is You [x3]
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
For Kai the songs that make me think of him is King For A Day by Pierce the Veil ft Kellin Quinn
ReplyDeletePlease, won't you push me for the last time
Let's scream until there's nothing left
So sick of playing, I don't want this anymore
The thought of you's no fucking fun
You want a martyr, I'll be one
Because enough's enough, we're done
[Vic Fuentes]
You told me think about it, well I did
Now I don't wanna feel a thing anymore
I'm tired of begging for the things that I want
I'm over sleeping like a dog on the floor
[Vic Fuentes]
The thing I think I love
Will surely bring me pain
Intoxication, paranoia, and a lot of fame
Three cheers for throwing up
Pubescent drama queen
You make me sick, I make it worse by drinking late
[Kellin Quinn]
Scream until there's nothing left
So sick of playing, I don't want to anymore
The thought of you's no fucking fun
You want a martyr I'll be one
Because enough's enough, we're done
For Anna an Kai's relationship the song the comes to me is Alone by Sleeping With Sirens ft MGK
Could you check my pulse for me
To see if I'm alive
Cause every time that I am near you
Is the only time I feel alright
If there were any way
I could think to turn back time
I'd stay here with you
Sometimes I sit and wonder
Sometimes I feel like letting go
All I know is no one should have to be alone
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to die alone
I could fall apart here and now
I don't want to die alone
I want to be with you, you, you
I only want to be with you, you, you
Tell me what's the point of life
Is it material?
Had everything I could ever want and probably more
When I lay in bed at night
All I do is think of you
So when all this is gone what do I have to come home to?
This life goes by so fast
Pretty soon I'll grow old
What would I have but some stories now that I have told
No one to share them with
And when it's all done
What am I left with?
Tell me what's left
Alone would be perfect. OMG!
DeleteWalkaway by The Script is such a good song to describe Kaidan's feelings in the 1st book and first half of the 2nd book!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why she's with me
I only brought her trouble since the day she met me
If I was her, by now I would have left me
I would have walked away
But now I've broken away
Somehow instead she forgave me
She said a woman's got to do what she's got to do
Even if it means she denied herself the truth
Cause when you're in too deep you wake up when it's too late,
You've fallen in love in the worst way
And if you don't go now then you'll stay
Cause I'll never let you leave, never let you breathe
Cause if you're looking for heaven, baby it sure as hell ain't me
So walk away
(walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
So walk away
(walk away)
Walk away, oh
Save yourself from the heartache, oh
Go now before it's too late
But still she stays
She's standing in the heart of darkness
Saying I know you got a soul even though you're heartless
How could any woman in their right mind be so blind,
To find something this safe
Instead of walking with me she should have walked away
She finds color in the darkest places
She finds beauty in the saddest of faces
For such a clued in, headstrong city girl
Could've had the world but she's fallen in love in the worst way
And if you don't go now then you'll stay
Cause I'll never let you leave, never let you breathe
Cause if you're looking for heaven, baby it sure as hell ain't me
Just a Fool by Christina Aguilera featuring Blake Shelton's also really good in both Anna and Kai's perspectives(:
Another shot of whiskey please bartender
Keep it coming 'til I don't remember at all
How bad it hurts when you're gone (no, no, no, no)
Turn the music up a little bit louder
Just gotta get past the midnight hour (uh, huh)
Maybe tomorrow it won't be this hard
Who am I kidding?
I know what I'm missing
Oh, I had my heart set on you
But nothing else hurts like you do
Who knew that love was so cruel (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I waited and waited so long
For someone who'll never come home
It's my fault to think you'll be true (yeah, yeah)
I'm just a fool
(Yeah)
[Blake Shelton]
I say that I don't care and walk away, whatever
And I tell myself we were bad together (uh, huh)
But that's just me trying to move on without you
But who am I kidding?
I know what I'm missing
I, I had my heart set on you
But nothing else hurts like you do
Who knew that love was so cruel (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I waited and waited so long
For someone who'll never come home
It's my fault to think you'll be true (yeah, yeah)
I'm just a fool
For holding onto something that's
Never ever gonna come back
I can't accept that it's lost
I should've let it go
Held my tongue
Kept my big mouth shut
'Cause now everything is just wrong, wrong, wrong
Bleeding Out by Imagine Dragons
ReplyDeleteWhen the hour is nigh
And hopelessness is sinking in
And the wolves all cry
To fill the night with hollering
When your eyes are red
And emptiness is all you know
With the darkness fed
I will be your scarecrow
You tell me to hold on
Oh you tell me to hold on
But innocence is gone
And what was right is wrong
'Cause I'm bleeding out
So if the last thing that I do
Is to bring you down
I'll bleed out for you
So I bare my skin
And I count my sins
And I close my eyes
And I take it in
And I'm bleeding out
I'm bleeding out for you, for you.
Nothing Left to Say by Imagine Dragons
Below my soul
I feel an engine
Collapsing as it sees the pain
If I could only shut it out
I've come too far
To see the end now
Even if my way is wrong
I keep pushing on and on and on and on
There's nothing left to say now... [2x]
I'm giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now...[2x]
Monster by Imagine Dragons
Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest,
Do I have to run and hide? (oh oh oh oh)
I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made its home inside (oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
That this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
Battle Cry by Imagine Dragons
Just one more time before I go
I'll let you know
That all this time I've been afraid
Wouldn't let it show
Nobody can save me now, no
Nobody can save me now
Stars are only visible in darkness
Fear is ever-changing and evolving
And I, I feel poisoned inside
But I, I feel so alive
Nobody can save you now
The king is crowned
It's do or die
Nobody can save you now
The only sound
Is the battle cry
"Bad Blood" by Bastille
ReplyDeleteWe were young and drinking in the park
There was nowhere else to go
And you said you always had my back
Oh but how were we to know
That these are the days that bind you together, forever
And these little things define you forever, forever
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?
If we're only ever looking back
We will drive ourselves insane
As the friendship goes resentment grows
We will walk our different ways
But those are the days that bind us together, forever
And those little things define us forever, forever
Love this one.
DeleteBattlefield- Jordin Sparks
ReplyDeleteDon't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here
One minute it's love and suddenly
It's like a battle-field
One word turns into a
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
My world's nothing when you don't
I'm not here without a shield
Can't go back now
Both hands tied behind my back with nothing
Oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall again
Why we gotta fall for it now
I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like ...
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)
a battlefield (battlefield)

Why does love always feel like
Can't swallow our pride,
Neither of us wanna raise that flag
If we can't surrender
then we both gonna lose what we had, oh no

Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again
I don't wanna fall for it now
I never meant to start a war

We could pretend that we are friends tonight
And in the morning we'll wake up and we'll be alright
Cause baby we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like

Why does love always feel like a battlefield (oh)

ReplyDelete"I'm so mad at myself for giving in to what I want"

ReplyDeletethere is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
and there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
but seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear
so tell me now
if this ain't love then how do we get out?
because I don't know
that's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
that's when I told her I love you girl
but I'm not the answer to the questions that you still have
Ok, so i have a few, each for the different 'phases' and emotions Kai/Anna are feeling at the time <3

Stay - Rihanna & Mikki Ekko
Not really sure how to feel about it.
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you.
It takes me all the way.
I want you to stay
Yes to All of Me and Stay!
Delete"I'm the devil's son straight out of hell,

Save Yourself by My Darkest Days. I think of Kai whenever I listen to it.
"I think you can do much better than me,
after all the lies that I made you believe...
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you!
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me."
Better Than Me by Hinder.
I thought this line would be a bit appropriate... "Me and my dirty mind, been working overtime."

Whenever I'm alone with you you ...
You make me feel like I am whole again.

Sweater Weather
ReplyDeleteAll I am is a man
I want the world in my hands
I hate the beach
But I stand
In California with my toes in the sand
Use the sleeves of my sweater
Let's have an adventure
Head in the clouds but my gravity's centered
Touch my neck and I'll touch yours
You in those little high-waisted shorts, oh
She knows what I think about
And what I think about
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing that I wouldn't wanna tell you about, no
'Cause it's too cold
For you here and now
So let me hold
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

ReplyDeleteI love this song but I'm not sure how you can use it...maybe the chorus?
ReplyDeleteLive - Lightning Crashes
Oh, now feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it
Oh and The Proclaimers!
ReplyDeleteBut I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
More lyrics from The Proclaimers
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm lonely, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
And when I'm dreaming, well, I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
When I go out (When I go out), well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And when I come home (When I come home), yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home with you
Perfect song for Sweet Peril: I Will Be by Leona Lewis
ReplyDelete" I will be all that you want
And gather myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart
All my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything OK
I thought that I had everything
I didn't know what life could bring
But now I see, honestly
You're the one thing I got right
The only one I let inside
Now I can breathe, cause you're here with me"
ReplyDeleteDid I hear you right
'Cause I thought you said
Let's think it over
You have been my life
And I never planned
Growing old without you
Shadows bleeding through the light
Where a love once shined so bright
Came without a reason
Don't let go on us tonight
Love's not always black and white
Haven't I always loved you?
But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's
Not enough
But when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'Cause you're only almost here
I would change the world
If I had a chance
Oh won't you let me
Treat me like a child
Throw your arms around me
oh Please protect me
Bruised and battered by your words
Dazed and shattered now it hurts
Haven't I always loved you
But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's
Not enough
But when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'Cause you're only almost herected
"Almost Here" by Brian McFadden ft. Delta Goodrem
I absolutely love this song and it reminds me of Kai and Anna.
Sigh for Kai.... <3

ReplyDeleteThere's this one song called Fell In Love With a Girl by the White Stripes and it's like the embodiment of the Kaidan that I've imagined up.
ReplyDeleteHere' part of the song. Not all of it applies to the books, but so much of it could that you should just check it out anyway. I've bolded my favorite parts.
Fell in love with a girl
fell in love once and almost completely
she's in love with the world
but sometimes these feelings
can be so misleading
she turns and says are you alright?
I said I must be fine cause my heart's still beating
come and kiss me by the riverside,
bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating
Red hair with a curl
mellow roll for the flavor
and the eyes were peeping
can't keep away from the girl
these two sides of my brain
need to have a meeting
can't think of anything to do
my left brain knows that
all love is fleeting
she's just looking for something new
and I said it once before
but it bears repeating
1.) Scream by Usher
ReplyDeleteAnd I've tried to fight it, to fight it
But you're so magnetic, magnetic
Got one life, just live it, just live it
Now relax, and get on your back
If you wanna scream, yeah
Let me know and I'll take you there
Get you going like
Ah-ooh baby baby ooh baby baby
Ah-ooh baby baby ooh baby
If you want it done right
Hope you're ready to go all night
Get you going like
Ah-ooh baby baby ooh baby baby
Ah-ooh baby baby ooh baby
If you wanna scream
2.) Starstruck by 3Oh!3
'Cause I just set them up, just set them up
Just set them up to knock them down
'Cause I just set them up, just set them up
Just set them up to knock them down
I think I should know
How to make love to something innocent
Without leaving my fingerprints out
Now, L O V E is just another word
I never learned to pronounce
How do I say I'm sorry
'Cause the word is just never gonna come out
Now, L O V E is just another word
I never learned to pronounce
3.) Deja Vu by 3Oh!3
Hey, Mr. Bartender mix me a drink,
I really need something to tell me it's okay not to think,
Because I've been to all these bars
And I've seen all these places.
I've hit on all these girls
I've heard the same conversations.
Cab driver, cab driver
Take me away,
'Cause I already know
All the words that she'll say.
And I'll be creepin' out the window
At the first sign of day,
'Cause every single night it seems to go the same way.
...
I did it like this,
I did it like that,
And it always comes back somehow
I don't know how
To break this pattern down.
4.) For Your Entertainment by Adam Lambert
No escaping when I start
Once I'm in I own your heart
There's no way you'll ring the alarm
So hold on until it's over
Oh!
Do you know what you got into
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment Oh!
I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet
You thought an angel swept you off your feet
But I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment
5.) Shady by Adam Lambert
Baby I'm on the hunt
Baby I've got my target on you
Trouble, that's what I want
And I'm gonna do just what I have to
Get your ass down to the front
Go on and pull it out, I dare you
Sorry I'm kinda drunk
But did you just say your game was brand new?
No I ain't broken but I, I need a fix
That satisfaction when I, I get my kicks
I'm up all night
I'm out of sight
Don't turn on the light
Cause I'm feeling so shady lately
...
I throw more shade than a cloudy day
The brakes don't work
I'm just a runaway train
Somebody come and help me out
All I wanna be is free
I'm just tryin' to get down
Now I can't get up
I'm shady lately
I paid all my dues and she wanted to know
ReplyDeleteThat I'd never leave her now I'm ready to go
As strange as it seems, she's endless to me
She's just like paperwork but harder to read
(Ed Sheeran - She)
THIS IS SO KAIDAN<3
The first summer we spent, one will never forget
ReplyDeleteLooking for any kind of reason to escape all the mess
That we thought was what made us
Ain't it funny now, we can see
We're who we're meant to be
------------------------------------------------
Those late summers we spent, stay up talking all night
I'd ask, "You think we'd ever make it?"
You say, "I'm sure, if it's right."
Ain't it funny to think just how stupid I used to be?
Hope you always believe
------------------------------------------
Let them talk and talk and talk
Let them say what they want
We will laugh at the thought
They don't know what we got
Sleeping With Sirens - All My Heart
Icon for Hire "Hope of Morning"
ReplyDeleteMy mind's a kaleidoscope, it thinks too fast
Blurs all the colors 'til I can't see past
The last mistake, the choice I made
Staring in the mirror with myself to blame
Icon for Hire "Hope of Morning"
But my disorder can't be cured by a bottle, blade or dose
Icon for Hire "Hope of Morning"
Try as I might to keep it together
Why is recovery taking forever
Fool the whole world, just until I get better
I'm terrified I'll be faking forever
Rise Against "Satellite"
We'll sneak out while they sleep
And sail off in the night.
We'll come clean and start over the rest of our lives.
When we're gone we'll stay gone.
Out of sight, out of mind.
It's not too late,
We have the rest of our lives.
Icon for Hire "Iodine"
I don't like pain, but I bring it to life
I don't like scars but I am good with a knife
I don't like tears but I'm starting to cry
And then I realize I'm destroying my life
Rise Against "The Good Left Undone"
All because of you,
I believe in angels.
Not the kind with wings,
No, not the kind with halos,
The kind that bring you home,
When home becomes a strange place.
Rise Against "Swing Life Away"
If love is a labor,
I'll slave till the end
The Material "Gasoline"
You are gasoline, you are fire and smoke
You're the air I breathe, and the reason I choke
You can light the match, but just let it go
You're the poison in my lungs, and my only antidote
You are gasoline, we're about to explode
Icon for Hire "Theater"
I'm getting pretty good at feeding them the lines they like
But I don't recognize the girl that I face each night
Rise Against "Roadside"
Tell me what I'm supposed to do,
With all these left over feelings of you;
'Cause I don't know
And tell me how I'm supposed to feel,
When all these nightmares become real;
'Cause I don't know
Linkin Park "Numb"
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Hollywood Undead "S.C.A.V.A."
When the end is getting closer
And the earth has burned the sky
Now repent 'cause it's all over
Just let me die

ReplyDeleteAnd now it's your chance to move on
Change the way you've lived for so long
And find the strength you've had inside all along

Leave your mark under my skin
Oh my, how strong you are
And feast your eyes on my disdain
And hope this one won't scar
I will never belong to you again

Angel with a Shotgun
ReplyDeleteBy The Cab
They say before you start a war,
you better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.
I'm an angel with a shotgun,
fighting 'til the war's won,
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know you're everything I have?
..and I wanna live, not just survive, tonight.
PERFECT for KAI!!!
Bad things- Jace Everett
ReplyDeletewhen you came in the air went out
and every shadow filled up with doubt
I don't know who you think you are but before the night is through
I want to do bad things with you
I'm the kind to sit up in his room
heart sick and eyes filled up with blue
I don't know what you done to me but I know this much is true
I wanna do bad things with you
Green Light by 5 Seconds of Summer
ReplyDeleteLyrics:
You got me where you want me,
I'm hanging on your every word,
It's such a twisted story,
How you got me,
Now you got me.
Let me give you what you need.
[Chorus:]
It's taking me over,
I don't wanna play this game no more,
All you gotta do is tell me right now,
You want me right now, come on,
Give me the green light,
We could have all night,
If you just say the word,
Tell me it's alright,
Give me the green light.
I feel like this part of the song would be playing over and over in Kai's head while on the road-trip with Anna.
What about Dark Side by Kelly Clarkson
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh, there's a place that I know
It's not pretty there and few have ever gone
If I show it to you now
Will it make you run away?
Or will you stay
Even if it hurts
Even if I try to push you out
Will you return?
And remind me who I really am
Please remind me who I really am
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me?
Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?
Monster by Imagine Dragons. I thought of this song when I read Sweet Evil.
ReplyDelete"If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
That this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest,
Do I have to run and hide? (oh oh oh oh)
I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made its home inside (oh oh oh oh)"
Bite My Tongue by You Me At SIx - This song makes me think of Kai so much.
ReplyDelete"You keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you in me
I can't hate the ones who made me
I'm married to the music, for better for worse
You say that I'm privileged, but my gift is my curse
I can't recall the last time someone asking how I was
Last I checked I was a fucking wreck, I called for help and no one showed up
So I sit in the dirt."
Clarity by Zedd - These lines are kinda like how Kai feels about Anna.
"'Cause you are, the piece of me,
I wish, I didn't need
Chasing, relentlessly,
Still fight and I don't know why
If our love, is tragedy,
Why are you my remedy?
If our love's, insanity,
Why are you my clarity?"
Hope I've helped, Wendy :)

ReplyDeleteProbably Bring me the horizon - deathbeds
ReplyDeleteEyes like a car crash
I know I shouldn't look but I can't turn away.
Body like a whiplash,
Salt my wounds but I can't heal the way
I feel about you.
I watch you like a hawk
I watch you like I'm gonna tear you limb from limb
Will the hunger ever stop?
Can we simply starve this sin?
The moment of their first kiss
That little kiss you stole
It held my heart and soul
And like a deer in the headlights I meet my fate
Don't try to fight the storm
You'll tumble overboard
Tides will bring me back to you
And on my deathbed, all I'll see is you
The life may leave my lungs
But my heart will stay with you
The Neighbourhood - A Little Death
ReplyDeleteTouch me, yeah
I want you to touch me there
Make me feel like I am breathing
Feel like I am human
One of the most sexy and sensitive songs - just like Anna and Kai. This song always reminds me about Kaiden
Bring Me The Horizon - Hospital for Souls
ReplyDelete"And then I found out how hard it is to really change
Even Hell can get comfy once you've settled in...
I just wanted the numb inside of me to leave
No matter how fucked you get -
Sorrow is there when you come back down..
Funny thing is: all I ever wanted, I already had.
There's glimpses of Heaven in every day...
In the friends that I have, the music I make
The love that I feel.
I just had to start again..."
The fragile, the broken
Sit in circles and stay unspoken
We are powerless...
Because we all walk alone on an empty staircase
Silent halls and nameless faces
I am powerless...
Everybody wants to go to Heaven
But nobody wants to die
I can fear death no longer
I've died a thousand times
Well I'm down on my knees again
ReplyDeleteAnd I pray to the only one
Who has the strength
To bear the pain
To forgive all the things that I've done

"Need Help! Kaidan Music?"
ReplyDeleteHi, Wendy! I am from Russia and I also decided to take part in "Kaidan Music"! I'm a big fan of the series "Sweet Evil" and I'm a big fan of the group "Arcade Fire". Songs of this group "My Body Is A Cage" and "We Exist" always reminded me of Kai, and I just can’t wrest them out of 4 lines! I hope you can handle this, because it is very hard for me.
Sorry for the bad translation! I would have written more if knew English ...
Best wishes from Russia! I love you :)
P.S lyrics
"We Exist"
Walking around head full of sound
Acting like we don't exist
Walk in a room stare out through you
Talking like we don't exist
But we exist
Daddy it's true, I'm different from you
But tell me why they treat me like this?
You turn away, what could I say
Not the first betrayed by a kiss
Maybe it's true
They're staring at you
When you walk in a room
Turn on us fine
Stare if you like
Or just let us through
Just let us through
Down on your knees
Begging us please
Praying that we don't exist
Daddy it's fine, I'm used to them now
But tell me why they treat me like this?
Is it because we do it like this?
Maybe it's true
They're staring at you
When you walk in a room
Turn on us fine
Stare if you like
Or just let us through
Just let us through
Let them stare
Let them stare
That's all right with you
But lose myself
If it turn away from you
Daddy told him to wait
Mother, I'm so scared
But will you watch us drown?
You know that they will
You know that we're young
You know that we're confused
But will you watch us drown?
What are you so afraid to lose?
Down on their knees
Begging us please
Praying that we don't exist
We exist
"My Body Is A Cage"
My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
I'm standing on a stage
Of fear and self-doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway
My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head
I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow
My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
My body is a
My body is a cage
We take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten
That don't mean you're forgiven
I'm living in an age
That screams my name at night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight
I'm living in an age
That laughs
When I'm dancing
With the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
Set my spirit free
Demons- Mayday parade
ReplyDeleteI made a brand of my own poison that I gave to you
It was the first of my experiments I’m going to put you through
Now it’ll only make you dizzy, sick, and paralyzed
I think you’ll live without the antidote, the ending’s a surprise
I think you’ll lie
One fell out of my dreams
It crept into my heart
Found the one and made its home there
I can’t help what I’ve become
And when it’s over stay true and act the part
I know it won’t last but that’s the way it goes
Now I can live with all my demons, we all get along
And they whisper in my ear “we’re safe, there’s always something wrong”
And if it looks like Armageddon’s coming down today
I’ll kick back a bottle of that poison, it’s made for you and me
Come on, let’s go
One fell out of my dreams
It crept into your heart
Paved the way for me to follow
But I was only 17
And when it’s over, stay true and act the part
I know it won’t last but that’s the way it goes
Then I could feel it on, it’s burning through my veins
I saw light today, I could manipulate
I made an ocean for you to sail
I promise you calm seas
Small waves through everything
I’ll make it easy, but I’ll float away
And if you find me currents to follow me
I hope you will
One fell out of my dreams
It crept into my heart
Found the one and made its home there
I can’t help what I’ve become
And when it’s over stay true and act the part
I know it won’t last but that’s the way it goes
2nd verse of the only exception by paramore
ReplyDeleteMaybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone.
Or keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance.
And up until now I have sworn to myself
That I'm content with loneliness.
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
Well you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
I've got a tight grip on reality,
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up.
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.
Oh-oh-oh-ohhh.
You are the only exception. [4x]
You are the only exception. [4x]
And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
"Time Bomb"
ReplyDeleteAll time low
From the get-go I knew this was hard to hold
Like a crash the whole thing spun out of control
Oh, on a wire, we were dancing
Two kids, no consequences
Pull the trigger, without thinking
There's only one way down this road
It was like a time bomb set into motion
We knew that we were destined to explode
And if I have to pull you out of the wreckage
You know I'm never gonna let you go
We're like a time bomb
Gonna lose it, let's defuse it
Baby, we're like a time bomb
But I need it
Wouldn't have it any other way
Well there's no way out of this
So let's stay in
Every storm that comes,
Also comes to an end.
Oh, resistance is useless
Just two kids stupid and fearless
Like a bullet shooting the love-sick
There's only one way down this road
It was like a time bomb set into motion
We knew that we were destined to explode
And if I have to pull you out of the wreckage
You know I'm never gonna let you go
We're like a time bomb
Gonna lose it, let's defuse it
Baby, we're like a time bomb
But I need it
Wouldn't have it any other way
Got my heart in your hands, like a time bomb ticking
It goes off, we start again
When it breaks, we fix it
Got your heart in my hands, like a time bomb ticking
We should know better,
But we won't let go
It was like a time bomb set into motion
We knew that we were destined to explode (destined to explode)
And if I have to pull you out of the wreckage
You know I'm never gonna let you let me go
Like a time bomb
Gonna lose it, let's defuse it
Baby we're like a time bomb
But I need it
Wouldn't have it any other way
I Swear This Time I Mean It- mayday parade
ReplyDeleteOh Florida, please be still tonight
Don't disturb this love of mine
Look how she's so serene
You've gotta help me out
And count the stars to form in lines
And find the words we'll sing in time
I want to keep her dreaming
It's my one wish, I won't forget this
I'm outdated, overrated
Morning seems so far way
So I'll sing a melody
And hope to God she's listening
Sleeping softly while I sing
And I'll be your memories
Your lullaby for all the times
Hoping that my voice could get it right
If luck is on my side tonight
My clumsy tongue will make it right
And wrists that touch
It isn't much, but it's enough
To form imaginary lines
Forget your scars, we'll forget mine
The hours change so fast
Oh God, please make this last
'Cause I'm outdated, overrated
Morning seems so far way
So I'll sing a melody
And hope to God she's listening
Sleeping softly while I sing
And I'll be your memories
Your lullaby for all the times
Hoping that my voice could get it right
Could get it right
You could crush me
Please don't crush me
'Cause baby I'm a dreamer for sure
And I won't let you down
I swear this time I mean it
And I'll sing a melody
And hope to God she's listening
Sleeping softly while I sing
And I'll be your memories
Your lullaby for all the times
Hoping that my voice could get it right
goodbye secondhand sernade
ReplyDeleteI'm alive but I'm losing all my drive
Cause everything we've been through
And everything about you
Seemed to be a lie
A guiltless twisted lie
It made me learn to hate you
Or hate myself for letting it pass by
All I had to say is goodbye
We're better off this way
We're better off this way
All I had to say is goodbye
We're better off this way
We're better off this way
and lastly,
"Miserable At Best"
Katie, don't cry, I know
You're trying your hardest
And the hardest part is letting go
Of the nights we shared
Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting
But compared to your eyes, nothing shines quite as bright
And when we look to the sky, its not mine, but i want it so
Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I know he's there and)
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room, he stares)
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable at best
You're all that I hoped I'd find
In every single way
And everything I could give
Is everything you couldn't take
Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away
And the hardest part of living
Is just taking breaths to stay
Because I know I'm good for something
I just haven't found it yet
But I need it
So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I know he's there and)
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room, he stares)
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable at best
Ladada ladada ladadaoh ohhh
And this will be the first time in a week
That I'll talk to you
And I can't speak
It's been three whole days since I've had sleep
Because I dream of his lips on your cheek
And I got the point that I should leave you alone
But we both know that I'm not that strong
And I miss the lips that made me fly
So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I know he's there and)
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
(while across the room, he stares)
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable
And I can live without you
But without you I'll be miserable
And I can live without you
Oh, without you I'll be miserable at best
Thank you! sorry about the multiple comments. hahha! God bless and more power to you! Looking forward to your next project!
Listen ma I’ll give you all I got
ReplyDeleteGet me off of this
I need confidence in myself
Listen ma I’ll give you all of me
Give me all of it, I need all of it to myself
So tell me you love me
The Weeknd – Wicked Games
"Save Me" by My Darkest Days:
ReplyDeleteSpanish lullabies under moonlit skies, we found love there.
Dancing in the sand, walking hand in hand both without a care.
Haunted by her past completely in her grasp, simply unaware.
Was it meant to last, it fell apart so fast, life is just not fair.
It's time to face what this love has done to me,
I can’t escape, only your love can save me.
You’re the only one who matters, and the only one for me,
Now I’m lonelier than ever only your love can save me.
I’ve wanted this forever, but I want you all for me,
You can put me back together, only your love can save me.
Each day I’m in hell, everyone can tell by the look on my face,
Not one day goes by that I don’t wonder why don’t believe its fate.
It's time to face what this love has done to me,
I can’t escape, only your love can save me.
You’re the only one who matters, and the only one for me,
Now I’m lonelier than ever only your love can save me.
I’ve wanted this forever, but I want you all for me,
You can put me back together, only your love can save me.
It's time to face what this love has done to me,
I can’t escape, only your love can save me.
Only your love can save me,
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
Only your love can save me.
You’re the only one who matters, and the only one for me,
Now I’m lonelier than ever only your love can save me.
I’ve wanted this forever, but I want you all for me,
You can put me back together, only your love can save me.
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
Only your love can save me.
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
Only your love can save me.
"Save Yourself" by My Darkest Days:
ReplyDeleteI’m the devil’s son straight out of hell
And you’re an angel with a haunted heart
If you’re smart you’d run and protect yourself
From the demon living in the dark
There’s nothing to be gained cause I can never change
And you can never understand my sickness
(I’ll never understand my sickness)
Save yourself
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
You’re the perfect drug when it hurts like hell
I've never needed anyone so much
There’s no-one else I love and I curse myself
Cause the right thing is to give you up
I’m overcome by shame cause I can never change
And you can never understand my sickness
(I’ll never understand my sickness)
Save yourself
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
You'll never understand my sickness
(I’ll never understand my sickness)
Cause i don’t understand my sickness
(I’ll never understand my sickness)
Save yourself
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
From a life full of lies and a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
A song for shortly after Kaidan leaves Anna:
ReplyDelete"Perfect" - My Darkest Days
Lyric Snippet:
I shouldn't have fallen in love with her
It's been nothing but trouble till now
I shouldn't have fallen in love at all
But I couldn't stop myself
What gives her the right to tear up my life
How dare she be so perfect
What did I do to deserve this
Another great song for Kaidan and Anna because she gives him hope for a future:
"Alive" - Adelitas Way
The whole song is great for them but here's a snippet:
And I feel alive when I'm with you
Everytime it's something new
Never knew what love could feel like
until I walked away the first time
And here's a song from Anna to Kaidan:
"I love you" - Avril Lavigne
Sleepless by Cazzette
ReplyDeleteIt kills my heart to see
Your eyes are no longer on me
It's critical to me
You stop messing with me
It kills my heart to know
You don't think this love could grow
Cause anywhere you'd go
You know I would follow
Cause I'm sleepless about you
Sleepless about you
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sleepless about you
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
It kills my heart to see
Your eyes are no longer on me
It's critical to me
You stop messing with me
It kills my heart to know
You don't think this love could grow
Cause anywhere you'd go
You know I would follow
Cause I'm sleeeeeeeeeeep
Sleeeeeeeep
You kissed my heart you know
Like no one ever did before
And I heard you moved on
Yeah I hear you moved on
Break free by Ariana grande
ReplyDeleteThis is the part when I say I don't want it
I'm stronger than I've been before
This is the part when I break free
Cause I can't resist it no more
You were better, deeper
I was under a spell
Like a deadly fear I am, babe
On the highway to hell
I only want to die alive
Never by the hands of a broken heart
I don't wanna hear you lie tonight
Now that I've become who I really am
This is the part when I say I don't want it
I'm stronger than I've been before
This is the part when I break free
Cause I can't resist it no more
Strangers by Seven Lions
ReplyDeleteDon't wanna be a stranger, wanna be the one you need
I can be your world, your life, your lover, all for free
All the little things come back, the things we used to be
Nobody can take us down, there is only you and me
Come Alive by Rachel Taylor
ReplyDeleteTake away the make up and the clothes that I wear
I've got a heart that's beating softly and it's gasping for air
'Cause I'm alive, but I'm not living
Afraid to show you all the mess I hope deep inside
Gotta knack for holding back and I'm the first one to hide
'Cause I'm alive, but I'm not living
I never thought that I would find
Someone who would take my mind
Off of who I used to be
What I left behind
You picked me up
Oh my dear, you saved me
And you make me feel
Like I'm not so crazy
With you
I come alive with you
I'll breathe you in
And I'll hold you close
And where you are
Is where I'll go
With you
I come alive with you
I come alive with you
You came in and you showed me what a love should be
It was strange, you captivated every part of me
Brought me to life and now I'm living
I never thought that I would find
"Everything Has Changed" by Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeren
ReplyDeleteAll I knew this morning when I woke
Is I know something now,
know something now
I didn't before
And all I've seen
since 18 hours ago
his green eyes and freckles and your smile in the back of my mind making me feel right
I just want to know you better know
you better know
you better now
I just want to know you better know
you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know
you better know
you better now
I just want to know you
know you
know you
Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name,
everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday
is everything has changed
And all my walls stood tall,
painted blue
But I'll take 'em down,
take 'em down
and open up the door for you
And all I feel in my stomach
is butterflies the beautiful kind
Making up for lost time,
taking flight,
making me feel right
I just want to know you better know
you better know
you better now
I just want to know you better know
you better know
you better now
I just want to know you better know
you better know
you better now
I just want to know you
know you
know you
Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name,
everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday
is everything has changed
Come back and tell me why
I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time
And meet me there tonight
And let me know that it's not all in my mind
I just want to know you better know
you better know
you better now
I just want to know you
know you
know you
Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name,
everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday
is everything has changed
All I know is we said hello
So dust off your highest hopes
All I know is pouring rain
And everything has changed
All I know is a newfound grace
All my days,
I'll know your face
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
Aviation High by Semi Precious Weapons! For me, this song is the perfect sum up of Kai and Anna and their relationship. The vibe, the words, the FEELS...ugh I love it!! :))
ReplyDeleteAll the lyrics are amazing but these are standouts:
I like the way you look in my house
I like the way you look in my sheets
I like the way you taste with a drink
I like the way you taste with a smile
I like the way you taste when I sing
I like it when it's been a while
We're alive, alive
We're aviation high
And:
I found myself counting the days
I found myself counting your lashes
I think I memorized your face
But then again, who hasn't
Moments when you say what you should
Moments when you say something better
Feels so good I wish you would
Keep on saying them forever
We're alive, alive
We're aviation high
Aviation High by Semi Precious Weapons
A line from the song "Closer" by Kings of Leon:
ReplyDeleteShe took my heart, I think she took my soul
This song has a very sexy beat and sway to it. It all around reminds me of Kaiden.
I look forward to reading your books ad thank you for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it took me this long to remember this song.
ReplyDeleteMONSTERS - Timeflies by Katie Sky
I hope I'm not too late.
Kai and Ann <3
ReplyDelete"Monsters"
(feat. Katie Sky)
[Chorus: Katie Sky]
I see your monsters, I see your pain.
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away.
I'll be your lighthouse. I'll make it okay.
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave, and chase them all away.
[Verse 1: Cal]
A cup of coffee still steaming, staring back at me and it's blacker than the night, eh.
I'm awake but still sleeping, I keep telling myself I'll be alright (I won't).
And I know it can't get worse than today, sitting here and she's trying to rehearse what to say.
See, she's in the bathroom and hoping I'm not in earshot, while she's getting used to the sound of her teardrops.
Splash, it hits the towel and I know it's been awhile since you've seen me smile and laugh, like I used to.
I've been in denial since it happened, just take me to the past, cause I just can't imagine losing you, too.
I can't explain this so I keep it all inside, wear my pain but it's masked by my pride.
She came to hold me and she cried, told me this and she stared into my eyes and said...
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
I can't, you won't like what you see.
If you were in my head and had to hear my plea.
It's like, I can't believe this is happening to me.
And could someone please shut off this fucking answering machine, so I can stop leaving these messages that you will never get.
And all these cries for help you'll never see, you'll never check.
But I guess it's easy for you to leave me.
But believe me, see this isn't something that I'm a just forget.
I would trade it all for one more minute, don't you see I really need you to talk to.
Uh, I'm still sitting here wondering who did it, while I'm staring out our front door knowing you'll never walk through.
Said you'd come right back, now you're gone like that.
A blank stare as I stand so alone, I know you're never coming home. Damn.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Uh, I got a heart made of fools gold, got me feeling so cold.
They keep chipping away. All the promises I told, felt like I was on those, they keep slipping away.
I want nobody else, but it's hard to get to know me when I don't know myself.
And it helps cause I felt I was down, I was out, then you looked at me now and said...
[Chorus: Katie Sky]
I see your monsters, I see your pain.
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away.
I'll be your lighthouse. I'll make it okay.
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave...
I see your monsters, I see your pain.
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away.
I'll be your lighthouse. I'll make it okay.
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave, and chase them away
(Do I wanna know?)
ReplyDeleteIf this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day
Do I wanna know by the arctic monkeys
The Sex is Good by Saving Abel
ReplyDeleteThis song is perfect for Kai, especially before he meets Anna.
[Verse 1]
You know all my deepest secrets
I think you know
You know to keep 'em
But I wonder if you know
I hate sleeping alone
So come and tell me what my kiss tastes like
Don't wanna miss it
So turn off the lights
But I wonder if you know
I hate sleeping alone
[Chorus]
I have to fake it
I leave if I could
I'm not in love
But the sex is good
You can't mistake it
Because it's understood
I'm not in love
But the sex is good (yeahhh, mhm!)
You got to know
Know my weakness
You always touch
In all the right places
We don't get along that well
Not much for talk
But you're hot as hell
[Chorus]
I have to fake it
I leave if I could
I'm not in love
But the sex is good
You can't mistake it
Because it's understood
I'm not in love
But the sex is good (yeahhh mhm! yeahhh mhm!)
[Verse 2]
It's not like
I wanna stick around
It's just tonight
I'm gonna lay you down (yeahhh)
So now you know
What my kiss tastes like
So in the morning
I say goodbye
But I wonder
If you know
I hate sleeping alone
[Chorus]
I have to fake it
I leave if I could
I'm not in love
But the sex is good
You can't mistake it
Because it's understood
I'm not in love
But the sex is good
I have to fake it
I leave if I could
I'm not in love
But the sex is good
You can't mistake it
Because it's understood
I'm not in love
But the sex is good (yeahhh mhm! yeahhh mhm!)
Beautiful war - Kings of Leon
ReplyDeletethe whole song makes me remember when Kai reject Ana
Anywhere for you - John Martin
ReplyDeleteHey, would you believe me if I said
We are here for a reason
Now, this is our life
This is what counts
Not sure if you're still looking for songs or not but this makes me think of Kai!
ReplyDeleteGemini Syndrome - Mourning Star
Sick of myself my world my life
Get out of my way this truth can’t lie
I stop myself every second I try
Every minute of time is an hour I die
Sick of myself my world my life
Get out of my way this truth can’t lie
I stop myself every second I try
Every minute of time is an hour I die
Every day's another complication
A journey through another maze
I found my way through recapitulation
Everything is still a haze
But heaven still holds me
I live my life inside imagination
Keep the secrets I have made
It’s the silence that enslaves me
It’s the only thing that saves me
If you knew what it meant to me
To make it through tonight
You would be a mourning star
And guide me through this life
Every day’s another conversation
Soaking up instead with lies
The whole thing’s open open to interpretation
It should come as no surprise
The enemy is everywhere
The enemy is everywhere
Death would be an ample compensation
Even if it’s my demise
But heaven doesn’t want me
Head to toe in blood and perspiration
I would wipe the tears and lies
But heaven disowned me
Now heaven won’t know me
If you knew what it meant to me
To make it through tonight
You would be a mourning star
and guide me through this life
Nobody gets out alive
And I know theres no way to buy my way
(Sick of Myself my world my life
Get out of my way this truth can’t lie)
In
I can’t say that I didn’t try
I guess that I just have to try again
If you knew what it meant to me
To make it through tonight
You would be a mourning star
and guide me through this life
You would be a mourning star
and guide me through
