you've been lonely too long - bill/ford - part 1

[superflight]

Fandom: Gravity Falls
Subject: Bill/Ford
Title: you've been lonely too long
Notes: A softer take on Bill/Ford, because I have many, many feelings. These first five songs are all from Ford's POV, before they had that blow-up fight. A tad too much worship and impossible expectations, there, Sixer...
Warnings: Spoilers for late Season 2, basically. Also, not the healthiest romantic feelings, verging and outright tipping into actual deifying and worship. Whoops.


1. niki & the dove - everybody wants to be you

oh, you're too good to be true
that's why

oh, they wanna have your shine
oh, they think it's got a price
they got brains, they got no soul...

you're an oasis
you're connected to a spring
oh, you're ever flowing...

oh, you feed my soul, let me grow and grow
oh, where would i be without you, you, you, you...

2. kina grannis - yellow

i drew a line, i drew a line for you
oh, what a thing to do
and it was all yellow

your skin
oh yeah, your skin and bones
turn into something beautiful
you know
you know i'd bleed myself dry
you know i'd bleed myself dry...

look at the stars, look how they shine for you
and all the things that you do

3. of monsters and men - wolves without teeth

open my chest and colour my spine
i'm giving you all, i'm giving you all
swallow my breath and take what is mine
i'm giving you all, i'm giving you all

i'll be the blood if you'll be the bones
i'm giving you all, i'm giving you all
so lift up my body and lose all control
i'm giving you all, i'm giving you all

you hover like a hummingbird, haunt me in my sleep
you're sailing from another world, sinking in my sea
oh, you're feeding on my energy, i'm letting go of it
she wants it

4. florence + the machine - i'm not calling you a liar

i'm not calling you a liar, just don't lie to me
and i love you so much, i'm gonna let you
i'm not calling you a thief, just don't
and i love you so much, i'm gonna let you
i'm not calling you a ghost, just stop

there's a ghost in my mouth and it talks in my sleep
wraps itself around my tongue as it softly speaks
then it walks, then it walks, then it walks with my legs
to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall
to fall, to fall, to fall, to fall
to fall, to fall at your feet

5. sufjan stevens - john my beloved

beloved of john, i get it all wrong
i read you for some kind of poem
covered in lines, the fossils i find
have they no life of their own?

so can we pretend, sweetly, before the mystery ends?
i am a man with a heart that offends with its lonely and greedy demands...

so can we be friends, sweetly, before the mystery ends?
i love you more than the world can contain in its lonely and ramshackle head
there's only a shadow of me; in a matter of speaking, i'm dead

i'm holding my breath, my tongue on your chest
what can be said of my heart?
if history speaks, the kiss on my cheek
where there remains but a mark
