“I see the beauty in your strength, baby
And you fight to keep in you
But I break down your walls with my army of love
Take a journey through my heart
It’s a test of fate
As we hold each other close, our spirits gravitate
Let’s drift into forever as our boundaries melt away”
–Lose Myself
“Feel like I could walk across the water
Heavenly, there’s not a cloud up in the sky
And I know for you there’ll never be another
So the rain can fall but I would still be dry”
–Water
“Fair enough, but I don’t think you’ll have to wait too long. Give me three minutes to make a pitch and your gratitude for knowing me may just burst out of you like little rays of cheesy sunshine.” Hal sat on the bench facing out with her elbow resting on the table beside her. “When you phrase it like that, how can I tell you no?” “You can’t tell me no, Hal.” Quinn flashed a smile that seemed more practiced and controlled than the earlier one, but still very effective.
“I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I’ll hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere”
–Soul Meets Body
“Well you floated into the room as I started to play
Oh my mind went blank and my fingers lost their way
You doubled the stakes that night on my world, could I not lose?
Oh did you see the love in my eyes
Oh were you gazing through this disguise?”
–Gamble for a Rose
“Paige stopped suddenly, pushing her sunglasses on top of her head. “First of all, she was not half-naked. She was all the way naked. And secondly…it’s none of your business.” She ended the call quickly as she stared up into the cloudless sky. Did I just out myself to my mother?“
“I know we’ve known each other a long time
But I’ve never seen you in this light
I can see the future in your eyes
Longing for a love and I realize
You are the one I want”
–Best Love
“It was always you
Can’t believe I could not see it all this time
It was always you
Now I know why my heart wasn’t satisfied
It was always you
No more guessing who
Looking back now I know
It was always you”
–It Was Always You
“Cecily gave her a withering look. “That’s not what having my own place was about, and you know it. I just needed to learn more about myself before taking that step.” “And you’ve learned what you needed?” “I’ve learned that I can take care of myself if I have to, but we’re both better when we’re taking care of each other.”
“Have you felt a revolution?
Do you ever sit to stop and pause
Just to take a little moment
To see what’s mine and yours?”
–Tapestry
