HS Fanmix - Moirail: A Collection Of Counterpoints

[odditycollector]

I have spent the last couple days listening to nothing but earnest love songs. And now I am in pain and vomiting a bunch. A casual correlation? I like to believe so.

So anyway, I have a problem with completist tendencies! This one was a very different exercise than the black romances... the world isn't exactly running low on the other sort of love songs and, you know. Completist tendencies.

1. Me and My Shadow (Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Junior) Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall Like the seashore clings to the sea Like you'll never get rid of your shadow Frank, you'll never get rid of me Let all the others fight and fuss Whatever happens, we've got us. Me and my shadow And now to repeat what I said at the start They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart We're alone but far from blue	2. Heart’s A Mess (Gotye) Pick apart The pieces of your heart And let me peer inside Let me in Where only your thoughts have been Let me occupy your mind As you do mine Your heart’s a mess You won’t admit to it It makes no sense But I’m desperate to connect And you, you can’t live like this
3. My Same (Adele) You said I'm stubborn and I never give in I think you're stubborn 'cept you're always softening You say I'm selfish, I agree with you on that I think you're giving out in way too much in fact I say we've only known each other one year You say I've known you longer my dear You like to be so close, I like to be alone I like to sit on chairs and you prefer the floor Walking with each other, think we'll never match at all But we do, but we do, but we do But we do	4. Boulevard of Broken Songs v1 (PartyBen) I walk this empty street On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one and I walk alone (By now you should've somehow) (Realized what you gotta do) I walk alone, I walk alone (I don't believe that anybody) (Feels the way I do about you now)
5. Arms (Christina Perri) How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown I hope that you see right through my walls I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling I'll never let a love get so close You put your arms around me and I'm home	6. Animal I Have Become (Three Days Grace) I can't escape myself So many times I've lied But there's still rage inside Somebody get me through this nightmare I can't control myself So what if you can see the darkest side of me No one will ever change this animal I have become Help me believe it's not the real me Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
7. Home (Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros) Home, let me come Home Home is wherever I’m with you Home, let me come Home Home is when I’m in love with you Baby, I’m coming Home Jade? Alexander? Do you remember that day you fell out of my window? I sure do, you came jumping out after me. Well, you fell on the concrete and nearly broke your ass and you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you off to the hospital. Do you remember that? Yes, I do. Well, there’s something I never told you about that night. What didn’t you tell me? While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was going to be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you and I never told you ‘til just now.	8. Soil, Soil (Tegan and Sara) Oh and I'm feeling Directionless yes But that's to be expected And I know that best And in creeps the morning And another day's lost You've just written wondering And I reply fast All you need to save me All you need to save me Call (call) And I'll be curled on the floor Hiding out from it all (all) And I won't take any other call

Outside (Staind) All the times that I cried All this wasting, It's all inside And I feel all this pain Stuffed it down, It's back again And I lie here in bed All alone, I cant mend but I feel Tomorrow will be okay I'm on the outside I'm looking in I can see through you See your true colors Inside you're ugly Ugly like me I can see through you See to the real you
11. A Diamond And A Tether (Death Cab For Cutie) Pity, take pity on me Because I’m not have the man that I should be Always turning to run From the people I should not be afraid of And darling, you should know That I have fantasies about being alone It’s like love is a lesson That I can’t learn So I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn I know you can’t hold out forever Waiting on a diamond and a tether From a boy who won’t swim Who won’t dip his toe in Just to keep you here with him	12. Rest Your Head on My Shoulder (Seeker Lover Keeper) Do I seek to find disappointment? Do I write with a sense of shame? Like a bird on the ground Who has injured its wing I can no longer sing I'm just waiting for Someone to tell me Again and again and again Rest your head on my shoulder And I'll take care of your worries It was you who promised this to me It was you who offered me courage
13. One Life, One Soul (Gotthard) One Life One Soul Forever I Know Follow Me Follow Me Wherever I Go You Are The Wind In My Sail In An Ocean So Wide Over Good Times Bad Times I'll Be Your Own Guiding Light Holding Your Hand Eyes Open Wide And Always Beside	14. Everything (Alanis Morissette) I can be an asshole of the grandest kind I can withhold like it's going out of style I can be the moodiest baby And you've never met anyone whose As negative as I am sometimes You see everything, you see every part You see all my light and you love my dark You dig everything of which I'm ashamed There's not anything to which you can't relate And you're still here
15. Her Diamonds (Rob Thomas) Oh what the hell she said I just can't win for losing And she lays back down Man there's so many times I don't know what I'm doing Like I don't know now And I don't know what I'm supposed to do But if she feels bad then i do too So I let her be And she says oh I can't take no more Her tears like diamonds on the floor And her diamonds bring me down Cause I can't help her now	16. I Know Him So Well (John Barrowman and Daniel Boys) Looking back I could have played it differently Won a few more moments, who can tell? But it took time to understand the man, Now at least, I know I know him well... But in the end he needs a little bit more than me, more security. He needs his fantasy and freedom. I know him so well... No one in your life is with you constantly; No one is completely on your side And though I moved my world to be with him, Still the gap between us, is too wide...
17. The Minnow And The Trout (A Fine Frenzy) "Help me out", said the minnow to the trout "I was lost and found myself swimming in your mouth Oh, help me, chief, I've got plans for you and me I swear upon this riverbed, I'll help you feel young again" Oh, not your everyday circumstance A humming bird taking coffee with the ants And I said, "Please, I know that we're different We were one cell in the sea in the beginning And what we're made of was all the same once We're not that different after all"	18. Parentheses (The Blow) And when you're holding me we make a pair of parentheses. There's plenty space to encase whatever weird way my mind goes, I know I’ll be safe in these arms. If something in the deli aisle makes you cry you know I’ll put my arm around you and I’ll walk you outside, through the sliding doors, why would I mind?
19. Crash And Burn (Savage Garden) When you feel all alone And the world has turned its back on you Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone	20. Yer Not The Ocean (The Tragically Hip) Yer not the ocean I'm standing on my toes Yer not the ocean You're not even close Yer not the ocean You're up to my chin Yer not the ocean You're not coming in
21. You Need Me (Mariah Carey) You'll regret it If you desert me this way When there's nobody To dry your eyes Suddenly you're gonna realize You need me	22. If You Don’t Know Me By Now (Seal) All the things That we've been through You should understand me Like I understand you If you don't know me by now You will never ever ever know me
23. We Go Together (John Travolta and Olivia Newton) We go together like ramma lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong	BONUS. Cristina Yang <> Meredith Grey Clip from Grey’s Anatomy Cristina Yang does not equal Meredith Grey is my favourite pale romance that I get to watch on the TV, and one thing Homestuck has gifted me is a useful frame for their relationship. There was even this time I wrote meta about it, so it must be truth! They give me heart pangs forever, and thus I have thoughtfully included a very small example of how these ladies are now diamonds.
