KH FST: A Line to Your Heart

[way2dawn]

Only eight more FSTs left to crosspost after this one. Then, it's the rest of Awakenings, the poem backlog update, and the fem!Riku. I swear, the spam will be done as quickly as I can make it.

This one is a Riku/Sora FST :)

1. One Line - PJ Harvey
Do you remember the first kiss?
Star shooting across the sky
To come to such a place as this
You never left my mind

I'm watching from the wall
As in the streets we fight
This world all gone to war
All I need is you tonight

And I draw a line
To your heart today
To heart from mine
A line to keep us safe

All through the rising sun
All through the circling years
You were the only one
Who could have brought me here

A Soraish one to start us off, since this mix is mostly Rikuish songs.

2. Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
We'll do it all, everything, on our own
We don't need anything, or anyone

If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world?

I don't quite know how to say how I feel
Those three words, are said too much, they're not enough

Let's waste time, chasing cars, around our heads
I need your grace to remind me, to find my own

All that I am, all that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

A Riku song. This song has the Dark Beach written all over it.

3. Lovers In A Dangerous Time - Barenaked Ladies
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by
You never get to stop and open our eyes
One minute you're waiting for the sky to fall
The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
Lovers in a dangerous time

When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight

This one is more for both of them.

4. The Only One - Darren Hayes
In a world so cynical
you came in and changed the bulb from black to white
And made me right
This is all atypical
No one else has had the time to read the signs

You are the only one
No one else can keep me from the danger of myself
You keep me stronger
You are the only one
And now I love you even more than I did before

I've got such a jealous side
Reaching out I try to hide my infant stride

When they make the call for one last drink
When my self esteem sinks below
And when no one knows it
When the colours all collide inside and I can barely hide
You are the only one

Definitely a Riku song.

5. We're In Heaven - DJ Sammy
Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more

Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Now nothin' could change what you mean to me
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way

Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standin' there by you

Another one for both of them.

6. The Planets Bend Between Us - Snow Patrol
I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud
So they could hear it in America
It's all for you

The shells crack under our shoes
Like punctuation points
The planets bend between us
A hundred million suns and stars
The sea filled in this silence
Before you sank those words
And now even in the darkness
I can see how happy you are

Both again, but more on the Riku side :)

7. I Love You Always Forever - Donna Lewis
Those days of warm rain come rushing back to me
Miles of windless summer nights
Secret moments shared within the heat of the afternoon
Out of the stilness, soft spoken words

I love you always forever
Near or far, closer together
Everywhere I will be with you
Everything I will do for you

You've got the most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen
You've got me almost melting away
As we lay there
Under a blue sky with pure white stars
Exotic sweetness, a magical time

More Riku, and a happier song.

8. Stray Italian Greyhound - Vienna Teng
Oh no not now
Please not now
I just settled into the glass half empty
Made myself at home
And so why now
Please not now
I just stopped believing in happy endings
Harbors of my own

But you had to come along didn't you
Break down the doors, throw open windows
Oh if you knew just what a fool you have made me

So what do I do with this?

This stray Italian greyhound
These inconvenient fireworks
This ice-cream-covered screaming hyperactive thought
God I just want to lay down
These colors make my eyes hurt
This feeling calls for everything that I am
Not

I said this one had mostly Rikuish songs, didn't I? This one is so cute.

9. Answer - Sarah McLachlan
I will be the answer at the end of the line
I will be there for you while you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty, I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance if you can't look down

If it takes my whole life, I won't break I won't bend
It'll all be worth it, worth it in the end
'Cause I can only tell you what I know
that I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
you'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently into morning, for the night has been unkind.
Take me to a place so holy, that I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight

I made an AMV to this, it's so very them. Riku perspective again.

10. Underneath It All - No Doubt
There's times where I want something more
Someone more like me
There's times when this dress rehearsal
Seems incomplete
But, you see the colors in me like no one else
And behind your dark glasses you're...
You're something else

You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
Underneath it all
I'm really lucky
Underneath it all
You're really lovely

You know some real bad tricks
And you need some discipline
But, lately you've been trying real hard
And giving me your best
And, you give me the most gorgeous sleep
That I've ever had
And when it's really bad
I guess it's not that bad

You've used up all your coupons
And all you've got left is me
And somehow I'm full of forgiveness
I guess it's meant to be

Another Sora song! After the depressingness that is Answer, we need one that's a little more upbeat :)

11. Light - Darren Hayes
Light, it flickers
Your light, travelling down so deep
Illumination

I have been cold, I have been blind
You have come to change my mind
I can put my faith in you

Light, it blisters
Your light, coming down so bright
Transformation
Turn it up, give me some room to grow
Turn it up, give me the sense to know

From something ordinary, it's so extraordinary
I trust, I put my faith in you

More Riku perspective.

12. Seventeen - Jimmy Eat World
Hung up here on a web of comfort
Taking off with nowhere to go
Standing tall with your new cloak armor
Making out like it's all been done
It's harder than it seems
You slip but never fall

They'll take you where you won't come back to me
They'll take you where you won't come back to me

Tearing down what we built up so well
Layin' low as you came my way
Look alive with your head on backwards
Goin' off when there's nothin' wrong
It's only in your dreams
But it felt like it was real

Hang loose, my friend don't walk away from me
Because I really think you're cool
Is it worth turning back despite these open hands?
You're tearing me apart

A Sora who's kind of frustrated at all this "How'm I gonna face everyone?" business. Make a funny face, it solves all problems :P

13. Por Siempre Tú - Christina Aguilera
Cuando estoy por caer
yo sé que tu amor me volverá a socorrer
Venceré el temor
mientras sepa que tú sientes
dentro lo mismo que yo
En el dolor y el bien, tú me supiste amar
y lo que soy es por ti sin dudar

Eres mi protección, mi sosten
frente a todo, mi mejor opción
Por siempre tú
Mi poder, mi valor
A través de lo peor
mi luz, mi cielo azul
mi gran amor aún
Por siempre tú

No hay ningún amanecer
que no me despierte sin saber
que te soñé
Soy por ti muy feliz
en mi alma para siempre
hay un sitio para ti
No importa donde esté tu amor me encontrará
iluminando mi cielo, mi oscuridad

Translation:
When I am about to fall
I know that your love will return to aid me
I will overcome the fear
while you know that you feel
the same as me inside
in the pain and the good, you knew to love me well
and what i am is for you without doubt

you are my protection, my support
before everyone else, my best option
forever you
my will, my worth
through the worst things
my light, my blue sky
my greatest love still
forever you

there is no dawn
that doesn't wake me up without knowing
that I dreamt of you
I am very happy with you
in my soul forever
there is a place for you
it's not important where it is, your love will find me
illuminating my sky, my darkness

This is the Spanish version of I Turn To You, but the lyrics have a different meaning. I picked the Spanish version because the lyrics fit better with Riku and Sora than the English version. Please tell me if the translation's wrong in any place, and I'll correct it.

14. Atlantic - Thrice
It's been so long
And tin cans and string for years
Is all that we've known
Could it be you're really here?

'Cause my eyes are open, and everything still moves in slow-motion
Breathless and blue, and behind your eyes, the sea
Oceans of light envelop me

But things can't be as they seem
I'm so far from home
This must be another dream, but my eyes are open

I remember searchng all over the place for this song after reading Uzumaki-sama's fic And Behind Your Eyes The Sea. Now, this song always reminds me of Riku and Sora on the dark beach.

15. First Day Of My Life - Bright Eyes
This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours was the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

So I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning?
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you just woke up

And you said
"This is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy"

A happier Riku-perspective song.

16. Falling For The First Time - Barenaked Ladies
I'm so cool, too bad I'm a loser
I'm so smart, too bad I cant get anything figured out
I'm so brave, too bad I'm a baby
I'm so fly, that's probably why it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

I'm so green, its really amazing
I'm so clean, too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me
I'm so sane its driving me crazy
It's so strange, I cant believe it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

Anyone perfect must be lying,
anything easy has it's cost
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost
What if I lost my direction? What if I lost a sense of time?
What if I nurse this infection? Maybe the worst is behind

Anything plain can be lovely
Anything loved can be lost
Maybe I lost my direction
What if our love is the cost?

Riku being an enormous dork. I was going to put this on my Riku FST, Land, but then took it off when I decided to make that mix more gen. It's since gone on various other KH FST possibilities, but I'm glad that it's settled on this one :)

17. I Just Want You To Love Me - Darren Hayes
I don't someone telling me what to do
I don't want to find out my temper grew wings and flew to you
I don't want somebody telling me what's not right
But I just want you to love me
oh I just want you to love me

I don't want to have lie about what's inside,
and then there's always been a tiny part of me I was trying to hide
I don't want to see your expression if I let you down
No, I just want you to love me
Oh, I just want you to love me

But there's a haiku poem inside my head
but the words are written in invisible ink
and now the world is changing, I can barely keep up

Riku being an emobutt.

18. I Can't Read You - Daniel Bedingfield
I'm never shy but this is different
I can't explain the way I'm feeling tonight
I'm losing control of my heart
Tell me what can I do to make you happy
Nothing I ever say seems to come out right

And I wish that I could be
Another better part of me
Can't hear what you're thinking
Maybe if I just let go
you'd open up your heart

But I can't read you
I wish I knew what's going through your mind
Can't touch you, your heart defending I get left behind

I like you so much I'm acting stupid
I can't play the game I'm all intense and alive
I'm losing control of my heart
I'm not supposed to be this nervous
I should play my hand all cool and calm
I can't breathe

Seriously, Riku, stop being all "woe is me, I gave in to the Daaarkness". You're confusing Sora.

19. Handle With Care - Jenny Lewis
Been beat up and battered around
Been sent up and I've been shot down
You're the best thing that I've ever found
Handle me with care

Reputation's changeable
Situation's tolerable
Baby, you're adorable
Handle me with care

I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care?

Everybody's got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine and dream on

I've been uptight and made a mess
I cleaned it up myself, I guess
Oh, the sweet smell of success
Handle me with care

But really, Riku just wants a little love, after everything that's happened.

20. My Best Friend - Weezer
when everything is wrong
I'll come talk to you
you make things alright
when I'm feeling blue
you are such a blessing
and I won't be messing
with the one thing that brings light
to all my darkness

you're my best friend
and I love you
and I love you
yes I do

there is no other one
who can take your place
I feel happy inside
when I see your face
I hope you believe me
'cause I speak sincerely
and I mean it when I tell you
that I need you

And the two of them do work things out eventually <3
