#SongoftheDay: Jason Mraz's A Long Drive

Long drive, long night

The best night of my life, 

With you riding, your hand on my hand. 

The thought of arriving, kind of feels like, dying. 

I don’t want, to go home and be, alone. 

Could we, stay out? 

Could you, drive a little slower, don’t matter where we’re going, 

As long as I’m with you, we could take the long way. 

Chevy Nova, front seat, sofa, getting closer, to you. 

Drive a little slower; don’t matter where we’re going, 

As long as I’m with you, we could take the long way. 

Drive a little slower, not ready to go home, 

I’d rather stay with you. 

We could take the long way, to the country out of town. 

Let’s get lost; I don’t wanna be found. 

Let’s get away, now and be careful not to crash. 

There’s no defrost and we’re steaming the glass. 

You and the road have a generous shoulder 

We can pull over and say we took the long way. 

Headlights, not strobe lights, 

I can see you, but not quite. 

I can feel you inside; the timing is just right. 

For the moment, I don’t want to go home. 

Take the long way. 

Drive a little slower; don’t matter where we’re going. 

Take the long way. 

Drive a little slower; don’t matter where we going now. 

Take the long way 

Drive a little slower; not ready to go home. 

I’d rather stay with you. 

We can take the long way. 

Long drive, long night, 

The best night of my life.

Relatable song is relatable

"The Silence"

I remember a conversation, at a restaurant

With a friend of mine, he’d a successful mind

And he told me of his life

And the plans he’d made to come this far

Had gone so well and now we’re all so proud of him

And he told me how

But I couldn’t bear to listen

Cause all my life I’ve heard

Of the dreams of the organized

To be the best in the company

To win the awards but that’s not me

Cause all my life all I ever wanted

Was a love that lasted longer than the silence

All my life, all my life

Was a love that lasted longer than the silence

I had to say that I had to leave

Cause it was on my mind

That all he set in me were insecurities

But that dream was never mine

Cause the plans I thought I’d made so far

Had gone alright but all that I feel now is doubt

And he told me why

But I couldn’t bear to listen

Cause all my life I’ve heard

Of the dreams of the organized

To be the best in the company

To win the awards but that’s not me

Cause all my life all I ever wanted

Was a love that lasted longer than the silence

All my life, all my life

Was a love that lasted longer than the silence

Songs that Help Me Write

Avalanche City-You and I

If you found your toothpaste empty

I would squeeze out just a little more

And if you had the sweetest victory

I’d high five you till our hands were sore

If you were scared and worried

I would keep you safe and sound

If you were addicted to fabric

You could fill a whole room in our house

If we climbed the highest tree top

And you said you couldn’t climb back down

I would build the finest tree house

For our new life above the ground

And when you smile at me so sweetly

I love what happens in your eyes

When they open up to me my darling

It’s all I need and it’s so right

Finally found a HAPPY GabexLeah song.

Although this song can actually work with most of my ships since I LOVE the bestfriend turned more (in fiction and not in RL) but this song is pure GabexLeah. Because although KaixLei is also almost the same thing, Kai has the burden of his ties with the Pack and his position within the Pack, and also ties to his family.

But Gabe, for Gabe the world would burn and he wouldn't care as long as Leah is with him. Like the Triplets said, some people have just so much love to spare and they tend to focus on just a few people but they give those people their all...just as long as they earned it. And for Gabe, Leah is all, Leah is everything.

The Narrative-Eyes Closed

And this dormant love you've built

Inside your stubborn ways

Well its begging now for air

Of the sudden breath of change

Oh this can work for every one of the OTPs in my stories.

The Perishers-Nothing Like You and I

We spent some time

Together crying

Spent some time just trying

To let each other go

I held your hand so

Very tightly

And told you what I would be

Dreaming of

There's nothing like you and I

So why do I even try?

There's nothing like you and I

Very much a Kai and Lei song.  

Avalanche City-Sunset

The sun set too soon tonight

Now we are in the last of light

Far gone is the golden hour

The dark could never dim your eyes

We'll tip toe through the streets,

And creep over the eaves

And run across the roofs,

And hide like common thieves

We'll go until the stars expire

So here is where the culprit lies

Oh we'll steal love songs tonight

Oh we'll steal love songs tonight

Oh we'll steal love songs tonight; it's only you and I

This song is very the Lyall boys and Lei, how they just enjoy each other's company and have fun with each other.

The Paper Kites-Bloom

Can I take it to a morning

Where the fields are painted gold

And the trees are filled with memories

Of the feelings never told?

When the evening pulls the sun down,

And the day is almost through,

Oh, the whole world it is sleeping,

But my world is you.

Can I be close to you?

DreamWalkers, a Firdaus and Medea song. It's more a song from Firdaus' POV.

Avalanche City-Love Don't Leave

Her cheeks were red and cold and I held her hand in mine

She squeezed it tight and I felt the warmth escape my bones inside

We saw a storm from far away and we laughed as it wandered by

Then it turned around to hunt us down

So we ran away to hide and she said:

Love don’t leave me now

Love don’t leave me now

Her heart was beating fast and I hoped that we could stay

In our hiding place where it was warm snd cold could not invade

We laughed aloud and talked of things that happened yesterday

But the storm could hear our voices clear

So it came on its way and she said:

Love don’t leave me now

Love don’t leave me now

Well, lives and love won’t last if they won’t face the day

Will you answer this, she said and I hoped it was just a game

But I saw her skin change before me and cold became her face

So I took my hand from hers and began to walk away

Love don’t leave me now

At first I thought oh hey, another sweetly depressing song for Gabe and Leah but then wait, I am wrong. It's actually a sweetly depressing song for Kai and Lei. Ha. Take that, Muse.

Marble Sounds-The Time to Sleep

You're falling in a lower gear

A little rest is what you need

You're rolled up on the seat

Your arms around your knees

We met by chance, talked on the phone

We kept in touch 

I took you home

Sure, it proves we get along

And it will only get better from now on

We found a place to which we drive

And I offer you the time

To sleep - to dream

To wake up when we arrive

A Yohan and Medea from my other book DreamWalkers, in how Yohan's music lulls her to sleep and chases her nightmares away.
