would it change what you see; a brad/nate mix for still bloody (from last year’s war)
brad knows a lot of things. he knows that incompetency and bad decisions get marines killed. he knows that having faith in your officers is paramount. he also knows that he doesn’t know everything.
against a backdrop of iraq, california and new england, brad learns that some things need saying out loud, even if it seems like sometimes you’re the only person who hears them, that sometimes you take more of the war home than sand in your combat boots, and that sometimes it just doesn’t matter what you say, you are left alone with the things you’ve done.

brad knows a lot of things. he knows that incompetency and bad decisions get marines killed. he knows that having faith in your officers is paramount. he also knows that he doesn’t know everything.
against a backdrop of iraq, california and new england, brad learns that some things need saying out loud, even if it seems like sometimes you’re the only person who hears them, that sometimes you take more of the war home than sand in your combat boots, and that sometimes it just doesn’t matter what you say, you are left alone with the things you’ve done.
carry on, fun.
though i’ve never been through hell like that, i’ve closed enough windows to know you can never look back.
i can’t, ben sollee
i can’t be your man, least not this time around.
the end where i begin, the script
sometimes we don’t learn from our mistakes. sometimes we’ve no choice but to walk away.

long way down, the goo goo dolls
here you are, there’s nothing left to say. you’re not supposed to be this way.

just a couple of mr novembers; a tired and wired joe/web mix

slide; the goo goo dolls
The priest is on the phone, your father hit the wall, your ma disowned you.
mr november; the national
I’m Mr November, I won’t fuck us over
seasons; we start partys
I’ll be there for you (if you want me to)
look up; stars
You’re cold, maybe you just missed the sun. You fall, feeling like its just begun. So far, keeping it together’s been enough, look up, rain is falling, looks like love
here’s to us; halestorm
Here’s to us, here’s to love, all the times that we’ve fucked up.
obvious; hey monday
Let’s get reckles, dance with our hands to the beat.Don’t let this slip through our fingers. It feels insane, don’t you put up a fight
bare; bare: a pop opera
I will always remember that first stolen moment. There you were kissing me, and time seemed to freeze.

more than i deserve; kane

gold in the air of summer; kings of convenience
Don’t look back, don’t think of the other places you should have been. It’s a good thing that you came along with me

what’s left of you; a robin thrush and james novak au mix (based on this)
DISCLAIMER: I still don’t own Rob and Jim, they belong to Emma. I merely refuse to leave the sandbox she has allowed me to stay in for far longer than common courtesy would suggest.
far from home; the classic crime (he doesn’t know what he’s doing, not even a little bit, but jim scribbles everything he knows about rob on brightly coloured post it notes, starting with ‘your name is robin thrush’ and going from there)
All I have is words to which I must lay. I scribble them down hoping they’ll save me, but I’m lost
bulletproof weeks; matt nathanson (sometimes jim just sits on the edge of the bed and talks to rob while he sleeps. sometimes he pretends that everything’s fine. sometimes he practices saying goodbye.)
Talking to what’s left of you and watching what I say, counting all the freckles on your perfect face. You open your window, sit on your bed, just waiting for right words to come.
further to fall; dan craig (rob wants to remember, more than anything. he doesn’t know what he’s forgotten, but he wakes up every morning with a gaping hole in the pit of his stomach, and he just knows there’s something missing)
It must feel like nothing at all, when you’re desperate for something to prove. You’ve just got a little further to fall
tear down the house; the avett brothers (sometimes, when jim’s explained everything, rob wishes he could remember everything. sometimes he wishes he remembered nothing. it might be easier, that way.)
Tear down the house that I grew up in. I’ll never be the same again. Take everything that I’ve collected and throw it in a pile. Bulldoze the woods that I ran through, carry the pictures of me and you. I have no memory of who I once was and I don’t remember your name.
one; johnny cash (jim doesn’t mean to hurt rob. rob doesn’t mean to hurt jim. but it happens anyway, and it always feels like some kind of twisted self harm)
We’re one but we’re not the same. Well, we hurt each other and we’re doing it again
nice for a change; zahl (jim’s only human, and humans have a breaking point.)
We get ourselves into a fight and we’re at it till it’s over. Sometimes takes all night and I get tired of being sober
the story left untold; every avenue (rob doesn’t know what jim was to him, but now that his memories are coming back, he’ll be damned if he lets him run away without a fight)
Slow down. Take a deep breath. We can’t give up tonight. Is it right to sit and watch this die?
eyes wide open; gotye (they tried. they failed.)
So this is the end of the story. Everything we had, everything we did is buried in dust
forget me not; lucie silvas (jim has to leave. he has to. but just because rob doesn’t remember him doesn’t mean he’ll forget rob.)
And as I leave it all behind, you’re still emblazoned in my mind
scarlet; brooke fraser (he knows he’s a coward. but when jim leaves, runs all the way to chicago because it was the first bus leaving new york, it’s easier. no one knows what he’s left behind.)
Middle of nowhere, finally you can breathe. Nobody knows your name. It’s easier

not enough time to say how i feel; a robin thrush and james novak au (based on this)
DISCLAIMER: I do not own RobnJim, they belong to the fabulous Emma. I am merely playing in her sandbox.
anyway; brenda weiler (jim sometimes wonders if he’d have been able to change things, if he only did something differently. he’s not used to not having all the answers)
And the sky is suddenly switched to black, and I haven’t kept good track of you, hold my hand and stumble back, I guess I’m not quite used to that
fake empire; the national (sometimes jim pretends there’s nothing wrong, just for a few hours. just long enough to be disappointed the following morning)
Turn the light out say goodnight
No thinking for a little while
Lets not try to figure out everything at once
It’s hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
believe; the bravery (jim just needs one sign, one tiny flicker that rob’s in there someone, because if he doesn’t get it, he doesn’t know what he’s going to do)
So give me something to believe
Cause I am living just to breathe
And I need something more
To keep on breathing for
once; brad caleb kane (he was rob before, and he’ll be rob again, if only for jim’s sake)
Once I was here
Once I was somebody’s friend
Once I appear
I will be real once again
brothers on a hotel bed; death cab for cutie (this rob isn’t the same as his old rob, but this is the rob he’s going to grow old with, and maybe he’ll learn to love him just the same)
You may tire of me as our December sun is setting because I’m not who I used to be
No longer easy on the eyes but these wrinkles masterfully disguise
it only hurts; default (jim wants to wait for rob, but he just can’t wait forever for someone who might not be coming back)
I know what you’re feeling it’s hard to believe in someone, someone who’s not there
I know that you’re waiting ‘cause love is worth saving but only for so long, so long, so long
sleep all summer; st vincent and the national (jim can’t do this anymore, can’t live with a rob that doesn’t love him like he loves rob)
Why won’t you fall back in love with me?
There ain’t no way we’re gonna find another
second chance; shinedown (maybe leaving is what’s best for them both. jim can’t think otherwise, otherwise he’ll never leave)
I’m not angry, I’m just saying…
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance
walk in the sun; mcfly (it’s not goodbye, it’s a bientot)
I wonder if someday I’ll be good with goodbyes
But I’ll be okay if you come along with me
if you only knew; shinedown (jim’s gone, but he’s never letting go, not of rob)
If you only knew
How I refuse to let you go,
Even when you’re gone
I don’t regret any days I
Spent, nights we shared

just last the year; a robin thrush and james novak au mix (based on this)
DISCLAIMER: I do not own RobnJim. They belong to the wonderful Emma. I’m just playing in her sandbox.
stranger; secondhand serenade (the morning after the first day)
I’m confident, but I can’t pretend
I wasn’t terrified to meet you
i believe in you; evanescence (jim’s trying to come to terms with this, he is. but he’s having a little trouble accepting it)
Have you forgotten all I know and all we had
You saw me mourning my love for you and touched my hand
I knew you loved me then
I believe in you
I’ll give up everthing just to find you
memory; sugarcult (jim just wants everything to be like it was before)
Losing half a year.
Waiting for you here
I’d be your anything.
So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
Just like I imagine.
come back to me; trading yesterday (jim’s willing to wait forever for rob)
whatever it takes
i will wait until my dying day
just come back to me
come home; onerepublic (jim’s not too proud to beg, not for rob)
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
iris; the goo goo dolls (jim’s desperate now, just wants rob back. he doesn’t care how)
And I don’t want the world to see me
‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
the man who can’t be moved; the script (once, the doctors try to tell jim that rob’s memory will likely never come back)
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do
How can I move on when I’m still in love with you
What if our love never went away?
What if it’s lost behind words we could never find?
it never happened; the national (rob’s breaking point)
Now I forget how to think
So crack my skull
Rearrange me
skinny love; bon iver (jim’s breaking point)
And now all your love is wasted
Then who the hell was I?
nothing like you and i; the perishers (rob wakes up one morning, and recognises jim)
As our hearts started
beating faster
I recalled your laughter
from long ago

i can show you the universe; a nine/rose mix
- we didn’t start the fire- billy joel
- a whole new world- aladdin
- lady so divine- shinedown
- my hero- foo fighters
- almost lover- a fine frenzy
