Hello! I've been wanting to share this for awhile but hadn't gotten around to it! I listed the songs that have helped inspire me to write Bex and Junior's adventure. Instead of simply telling you the songs I also listed the lyrics that spoke to me!
The first song is what I consider to be the anthem of this story! I truly love this song and it fits Bex and Junior so well!
This Side of Paradise
Coyote Theory
*The first half of the song I consider to be Bex's part*
"Ask me why my heart's inside my throat
I've never been in love, I've been alone
Feel like I've been living life asleep
Love so strong it makes me feel so weak
Are you lonely? (Are you lonely?)
Our fingers dancing when they meet
You seem so lonely (are you lonely?)
I'll be the only dream you seek
So if you're lonely, no need to show me
If you're lonely, come be lonely with me
Lonely (are you lonely?)
Passion is crashing as we speak
You seem so lonely (are you lonely?)
You're the ground my feet won't reach (*Definetly a crack at her height*)
So if you're lonely, darling you're glowing
If you're lonely, come be lonely with me
*The second part would be Junior's- let's face it he would be more willing to admit he's lonely, Bex can't even figure out what lonely means*
Underneath the pale moonlight
Dreaming of a circus life (*His hyperactivity*)
Carousels and Ferris heights (*Chapter 12*)
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
'Cause I'm lonely, I'm so lonely
If you hold me, I'll be your only
Are you lonely? (Are you lonely?)
Our fingers dancing when they meet
You seem so lonely (are you lonely?)
I'll be the only dream you seek
So if you're lonely, no need to show me
If you're lonely, come be lonely with me
Sugar, We're Going Down
Fall Out Boy
"Am I more than you bargained for yet?"
*This line is just so Bex in the early chapters*
The Taste of Ink
The Used
*This one is mostly Bex inspired*
It's four o'clock in the fucking morning
Each day gets more and more like the last day
Still I can see it coming
While I'm standing in the river drowning
This could be my chance to break out
This could be my chance to say goodbye
At last it's finally over
Couldn't take this town much longer
Being half dead wasn't what I planned to be
Now I'm ready to be free
So here I am, it's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am, alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
And won't you think I'm pretty
When I'm standing top the bright lit city
And I'll take your hand and pick you up
And keep you there so you can see
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
I Ain't Worried
OneRepublic
I don't know what you've been told
But time is running out, no need to take it slow
I'm stepping to you toe-to-toe
I should be scared, honey, maybe so
But I ain't worried 'bout it right now (right now)
Keeping dreams alive (hey!), 1999, heroes
I ain't worried 'bout it right now (right now)
Swimmin' in the floods (hey!), dancing on the clouds below
...
Got no regrets, even when I'm broke, yeah
I'm at my best when I got something I'm wanting to steal
Way too busy for them problems and problems to feel (yeah-yeah)
No stressing, just obsessin' with sealin' the deal
I'll take it in and let it go
But I ain't worried 'bout it right now (right now)
Euphoria
Robert Grace
Tears in my eyes, outta my mind
Bury my pain deeper inside
If the devil comes along to get a hold of you
Hurry up and hide in Euphoria
I'll meet you there to keep you company
But don't take no advice if it comes from me
...
Livin' life like a cheap James Dean
Watching myself through a movie screen, yeah
Where did all the time go?
Wasted every minute tryna balance on a tightrope
...
'Cause I pushed away everything I really should hold onto
And I wonder how I'm lonely now
