Author's note: When I first conjured up this story having watched and rewatched Erkenci Kuş, I thought this song, Need you tonight by JP Cooper ft Ray BLK, was so apt for this scene.
Oh no, I'm straight in at the deep end
It was just a quiet drink with my friends
My God, I even chose a place you wouldn't be seen dead in
It's a Friday
You never used to go out at the weekend
I guess you go out at the weekend these days
And I don't want to listen to what my friends sayChorus: They say, "Let her go, let her go
Maybe she'll come back"
Everyone's giving me advice to move on
But they're playing our songStanding here tonight, I'm watching you move
There's a little space on the dance floor
Would you mind if I came and danced with you?
I promise not to step on your shoes
Maybe we can start a little conversation
'Cause recently my heart's been breaking
And I can't tell wrong from right
But I know I need you tonightI need you tonight
I need you tonight
I need you tonightNeed you like the rhythm needs the blues
Not embarrassed to say I'm desperate too
Feel like I'm lost and alone without my best friend
Another chance and I'll never take you for granted
I try to look for your face in crowds
But you're a ghost when I reach out
Guess you doing good aloneChorus: They say, "Let her go, let her go
Maybe she'll come back"
Everyone's giving me advice to move on
But they're playing our song...They say, "Let her go, let her go
Maybe she'll come back"
Everyone's giving me advice to move on
But they're playing our song...Standing here tonight, I'm watching you move
There's a nobody left on the dance floor
Would you mind if I came and danced with you?
I promise not to step on your shoes
Maybe we can start a little conversation
'Cause recently my heart's been breaking
And I can't tell wrong from right
But I know I need you tonightI need you tonight
I need you tonight
I need you tonight***
"How many chances do you think a person gets at being so stupid?" Metin shook his head as he scrolled down his phone.
"Kardeşim, just when I think you're all out of stupid cards, you pull another one out of your sleeve. It's like you have a whole deck of them." Akif drawled.
"Intelligence has always chased after you, Can. The problem is you outran it this time. Tebrikler!" Clapping his hands dramatically, Metin arched his eyebrows.
"Can ya, you are usually so thoughtful but this one time you were unencumbered by the thought process."
