The Official C/A Song Lyrics Thread (RESURRECTION!!)

[Izzychase]

I tend to think of the Smashing Pumpkins' "Stand Inside Your Love".
This is the song I would pick for Cordelia anyway, from Angel.

Stand Inside Your Love
You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Insufferable
But for the last time
You're everything that I want and ask for
You're all that I'd dreamed
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul and beautiful you
Don't understand
Don't feel me now
I will breathe
For the both of us
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart
And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn
In my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
And for the first time
I'm telling you how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound
In my time
I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
You're mine forever now
Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn't be the one you love

Well, on second thought, minus the breathing part. :P

[angelcakes]

Hey!I'm new here...whenever i hear Drops of Jupiter i think of when she was with Groo, so it's sorta Angel's POV!

[LaLa247]

I'm sure there's irony in this...

Dido - White Flag

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
I'll tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused but nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
then I'm sure that that makes sense

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was then
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on....

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love

and always will be

La, I was just listening to Dido's song the other day and have now adopted it as my official "I'm a C/Aer and always will be!" song. Hmm...I have the sudden urge to do a C/A Lj icon song set for this...

[LaLa247]

LOL We share the same brain... I'm making LJ icons using lyrics from it. It's a C/A song, dangit! Should be sent to Joss.

[I Heart Dirt]

Yeah, but for the Dido song...Is it from Angel to CC or the other way around?

[LaLa247]

Both? I can definitely see both, if you alternate verses by season. First Angel, then Cordy, then both- it works.

[Darla]

*sighs* THAT Dido song is... *sighs* Reminded me immediately of C/A, too. *sighs*

Got some other songs:

We've Got It All - Kenny Rogers

It's hard to say goodbye,
You're much more than a friend
When goodtimes become memories
They never really end
Like ancient rights of passage
It's time to carry on
We caught lightning in a bottle
As we went along

We've got it all
Wouldn't change a minute
We've got it all
Never will forget it

As years go slipping by us
You know we will recall
These times we found together
We've got it all

Long goodbyes never suited you and me
You know if God is willing
We'll go on eternaly
We've got it all.


Paul Harris - Falling

The first time we touched
I knew there was something
happening deep in my heart
they say we should have stopped ourselves
but by then it was to late
to tear our lives apart

I was sleepless at night
I can't hide my feelings
and even if I wanted to
I could not deny this fire
burning inside
and my "falling-in-love" with you

Waiting for you in the twilight our
but you never came
secret love can be cruel sometimes
like the cold winterrain
and I'm falling again
falling again

I was so unsure at the start of it all
but now I think I know
you're all that I want
my only desire
and I can't let you go

Face to face in the light of dark
we shine with the love we own
we run and we dance with our dreams
they are filling the earth
breaking these hearts of stone

Is this love just a passing thing
a changing of a season?
Tried so heard to make sense of it all
but I still can't find a reason
cause there's no reason to be found
and your feet don't touch the ground

and the only sound you can hear
is the beating of your heart


Bon Jovi - Hearts Breaking Even

It's been a cold, cold, cold, cold night
And I can't get you off of my mind
God knows I've tried
Did I throw away the best part of my life
When I cut you off
Did I cut myself with the same damn knife
Hide my tears in the pouring rain
Had my share of hurt and pain
Don't say my name, run away, 'cause it's all in vain

My hearts breaking even, now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried, yeah I lied, hell I almost died
Don't got a reason
Let's just fold the cards and say good-bye
It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight

It's been a long, long, long, long time
Since I've had your love here in my hands
We didn't understand it, we couldn't understand it
But, nothing's fair in love and hate
You lay it all down and walk away, before it's too late
We danced all night as the music played
The sheets got tangled in the mess we made
There in the stains, we remain
No one left to blame

My hearts breaking even, now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried, yeah I lied, hell I almost died
Don't got a reason
Let's just fold the cards and say good-bye
It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight

Go on, get on with your life
Yeah - I'll get on with mine
Broken hearts can't call the cops
Yeah - it's a perfect crime
Twisting and turning the night keeps me yearning
I'm burning alive
I'm paying the price again
But I'll see the light again

My hearts breaking even, now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried, yeah I lied, hell I almost died
Don't got a reason
Let's just fold the cards and say good-bye
It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight

[v120176]

OK I have another.... I found it on internet and a loved the lyrics:


WHAT IF (Kate Winslet)


Here I stand alone
With this weight upon my heart
And it will not go away
In my head I keep on looking back
Right back to the start
Wondering what it was that made you change

Well I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind

What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know

Many roads to take
Some to joy
Some to heart-ache
Anyone can lose their way
And if I said that we could turn it back
Right back to the start
Would you take the chance and make the change

Do you think how it would have been sometimes
Do you pray that I'd never left your side

What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know

If only we could turn the hands of time
If I could take you back would you still be mine

'Cos I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keep on spinning in my mind

What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
What if I had never walked away
'Cos I still love you more than I can say
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
We'll never know

[v120176]

Me, again. Well, I didn't know there was an english version of that Gloria Estefan's song. From what I see the spanish version (even if it was recorder after the english one, so I suppouse this was first) is more beautiful. The spanish is "the C/A song", with out not doubt. I didn't think the english one has the same meaning. It's clearly C/A kind of love (friendship, respect, softness, comfort, laught etc) against B/A ("I love you and because of that I suffer")kind of . She says she doesn't mean or want be the "air you breath, the fire that consumes you, the sword that goes through your mistakes, the reason for your lament, the one that cross in your destiny, etc... I only want find me behind your smile, be the warm touch with out a reason, the balsam for your pain, give you the heart but not be your owner"

Here are both version, if someone can translate the spanish one, you'll see THAT is the song for them.


STEAL YOUR HEART.
I Don't Mean To Be The Teardrop Spilling Over Your Resentments
Don't Intend To Be The Cry With Which You Voice Your Discontentment
I Don't Wanna Be A Picture Fading Slowly From Your Memory
Don't Intend To Be A Shadow Simply Darkening Your Passage

Only Wanna Lose Myself Behind The Mirror Of Your Eyes
Be The Only Balm That Soothes The Secret Passions In Your Life
Only Want To Lose My Senses Lose Your Sorrow Calm This Madness
Be The Only One You Count On To Alleviate Your Sadness

I'll Steal Your Heart And Set It Free
Tear Down The Walls That Would Surround You
I May Hold You Close To Me
But These Ties Will Never Bind You

I Don't Mean To Be The Fire That's Igniting Your Temptations
Don't Intend To The The Sword That Runs You Through With Adoration
I Don't Want To Be A Whisper My Emotions Wrapped In Silence
Don't Intend To Be The Shout Reminding You That Time Is Priceless

Only Want To Be The Wind That Lifts You High Above The Ground
Living Only To Unlease The Sacred Powers That We've Found
Only Want To Beathe Your Essence Be Your Comfort Fill With Laughter
Every Moment That We Live From This Day On Forever After

I'll Steal Your Heart And Set It Free
So Free I'm Sure It Will Astound You
Without My Love You'll Never Be
In Some Way I'll Always Find You

I'll Steal Your Heart And Set It Free
Tear Down The Walls That Would Surround You
I May Hold You Close To Me
But These Ties Will Never Bind You

Only Want To Be The Wind That Lifts You High Above The Ground
Living Only To Unlease The Sacred Powers That We've Found
Only Want To Beathe Your Essence Be Your Comfort Fill With Laughter
Every Moment That We Live From This Day On Forever After

I'll Steal Your Heart And Set It Free
So Free I'm Sure It Will Astound You
Without My Love You'll Never Be
In Some Way I'll Always Find You

I'll Steal Your Heart And Set It Free
Tear Down The Walls That Would Surround You
I May Hold You Close To Me
But These Ties Will Never Bind You

I'll Steal Your Heart And Set It Free

NO PRETENDO (I don't mean/want)

No pretendo ser la gota
Que derrame tu silencio,
Ni pretendo ser la nota
Que se escape en tu lamento.
No pretendo ser la huella
Que se deja en tu camino,
Ni pretendo ser aquella
Que se cruza en tu destino.

Sólo quiero descubrirme
Tras la luz de tu sonrisa
Ser el bálsamo que alivia
Tus tristezas en la vida.

Sólo quiero ser la calma
Que se escurre en tus desvelos,
Ser el sueño en que descansa
La razón de tus anhelos.

Simplemente, es el amor
Cuando ha roto sus cadenas.
Para darte el corazón,
No pretendo ser tu dueña.

No pretendo ser la llama
Donde enciendes tus pasiones,
Ni pretendo ser la espada
Que atraviese tus errores.

No pretendo ser el aire
Que respiras en la noche,
Ni pretendo ser la carne
Que destila tus derroches.

Sólo quiero ser la mano
Que se llene de quebranto,
Ser un poco ese remanso
Donde muere el desengaño.

Sólo quiero ser la estrella
Que se engarza en tu mirada,
La caricia que se entrega
Sin razón y sin palabras.

Simplemente, es el amor
Que ha encontrado su camino.
Para darte mi ilusión,
No pretendo hacerte mío.

Simplemente, es el amor
Cuando ha roto sus cadenas.
Para darte el corazón,
No pretendo ser tu dueña.

(impro of guitar)

Sólo quiero ser la mano
Que se llene de quebranto,
Ser un poco ese remanso
Donde muere el desengaño.

Sólo quiero ser la estrella
Que se engarza en tu mirada,
La caricia que se entrega
Sin razón y sin palabras.

Simplemente, es el amor
Que ha encontrado su camino.
Para darte mi ilusión,
No pretendo hacerte mío.

Simplemente, es el amor
Cuando ha roto sus cadenas.
Para darte el corazón,
No pretendo ser tu dueña.

Simplemente es el amor...

I heard this one on the radio this morning and when the line "Cause I can't stop loving you" was sung I thought "oh, that sounds pretty much like Angel"... so, Angel's POV.

Can't stop loving you
Phil Collins

So, you're leaving
in the morning
on the early train.
Well, I could say everything's alright.
And I could pretend and say good bye.

Got your ticket
got your suitcase
got your leaving smile.
I could say that's the way it goes.
Well, I could pretend and you won't know.
That I was lying

'Cos I can't stop loving you.
No, I can't stop loving you.
No, I won't stop loving you.
Why should I?

We took a taxi
to the station
not a word was said.
And I saw you walk across the room
for maybe the last time, I don't know.

Feeling humble
heard the rumble
on the railway track
And when I hear the whistle blow
I walk away and you won't know
That I'll be crying.

'Cos I can't stop loving you.
No, I can't stop loving you.
No, I won't stop loving you.
Why should I?

(even try)
I'll always be here by your side
(why, why, why?)
I never wanted to say good bye
(why even try?)
I'll always hear you, if you change,
change your mind

So, you're leaving
in the morning
on the early train.
Well, I could say everything's alright.
And I could pretend and say good bye.
But that would be lying.

'Cos I can't stop loving you.
No, I can't stop loving you.
No, I won't stop loving you.
Why should I?

'Cos I can't stop loving you.
No, I can't stop loving you.
No, I won't stop loving you.
Why should I?

Why should I?
Why should I
even try?

Hey folks, was just surfing when i came across this thread. Thought id add my bit, as this song always makes me think C/A, especially from Angels POV.

Lost in Space - The Lighthouse Family

"Sometimes i get tired of this me first attitude
You are the one thing, that keeps me smiling
Thats why im always wishing hard for you
Cos your life shines so bright
I dont feel no solitude
You are my first, star at night
I'd be lost in space without you

And i'll never lose my faith in you
How will i ever get to heaven if i do

Feels, just so fine
When we touch the sky, me and you
This is my idea of heaven
Why cant it always be so good
But its alright, i know your out there
Doing what youve gotta do
You are my soul satelite
I'd be lost in space without you

And i'll never lose my faith in you
How will i ever get to heaven, if i do

I'll never lose my faith in you
I'll never lose my faith in you"

Particularly relevant after Angel discovers that Cordys in heaven in season 4, which, btw, im never watching again, my season 4 vids will sit unused from now on, and season 5? Not a chance buddy! In my world the show ended at Season 3, Season 4 was a bad dream. OK, so im in denial, but im happy there!

Do you Realize?
by The Flaiming Lips


Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun don'-go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun don'-go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize

[Angelia]

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
The Police--


Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve as I've done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

[LaLa247]

I'm on a Maroon 5 kick.

Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things
that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her
every time she falls

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
