“I know. They never let you be famous AND happy.” He lifted an eyebrow. “I’ll tell you a secret.”
“Tell me.” I loved it when he was like this.
“I’m going to be the first.” He took my palm and held it to his. “Swear it.”
“Why me?”
“Because you’re the reason. Swear it.”
“I swear it,” I said, lost in the high color of his cheeks, the flame in his eyes.
“I swear it,” he echoed.
We sat like that a moment, hands touching. He grinned.
“I feel like I could eat the world raw.”
― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
Eels - That look you give that guy
I’m nothing like what I’d like to be, I’m nothing much, I know it’s true. I’d like to stand in a better view and my chances are so few. That look you give that guy, I wanna see looking right at me. If I could be that guy, instead of me, I’d give you all I got. I never thought that I could be so bold to even say these thoughts aloud. But if let’s stay, it won’t work out, you know where I can be found.
Saint Raymond - Fall at your feet
Stop stop go, if I commit can I keep myself whole ? Am I wasting time on my own ? How do I start, tripping over my head and my heart, don’t think I’ll be the last, why should I care at all ? Watch me fall at your feet, give it all to make you feel complete.
The National - Brainy
I was up all night again, boning up and reading the American Dictionary, you’ll never believe me, what I found, think I’d better follow you around.
Ben Howard - Games in the dark
We played games in the park and I want to stay there, close to your heart. And you said “Oh, I can feel your heart beat”, and I told you, “Sometimes when I stay the night, I find it hard, hard to sleep”. Oh, we played, yeah, like lovers in the moonlight, we stay here, stubborn in the softness and the light. Oh, how close to heaven can you get before the sun burns your eyes?
Stars - Wasted Daylight
Heat is a heavy head, keeps me in my bed, push aside the pillow, the whole room just turned yellow. Three in the afternoon, we still haven’t moved, siren sighs echo, a pulse through our window. I don’t mind, I don’t mind this wasted, shaded daylight. Pull in the body to twist, the thighs, the heels, the hips, constellation markings across your body, drawings.
Anya Marina - Satellite heart
So pretty, so smart, such a waste of a young heart. Whatta pitty whatta sham, what’s the matter with you man? Don’t you see what’s wrong, can’t you get it right? Outta mind, and outta sight, call on all your girls, don’t forget the boys, put a lid on all that noise. I’m, a satellite heart, lost in the dark. I’m spun out so far, you stop I start, but I’ll be true to you.
Sarah Jaffe - Talk
All my young life, I’ve opened my mouth too many times. Now that I’m done talking, here you come walking. And I feel ignorant to be certain, strung out like a fool. I know I don’t need to but I know that I want you and I feel ignorant to be certain.
Lily Allen - L8
And when I see his face, I know that I could win the race, and when he calls my name, I know we’re in the long game. Why would I leave him for, I couldn’t ask for anymore, I wouldn’t send him back, he won me, game, set and match.
