Crash and Burn

A/N: The lyrics are by Savage Garden, and the song is “Crash and Burn” I adore the song ^^

Crash and Burn

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you

He sat there, all alone, with no one around him. It was like every other night… sitting alone in the park, left to himself and the evil thoughts that seemed to follow him… oh how he wished he had never drew that small drawing…

Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you

With a start, he looked up to see a girl standing in front of him. A small smirk was on her lips, and her violet eyes were shining with a mystery. A mystery that left the boy clueless.

It’s hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door
And you feel like you can’t take anymore

She put out her hand to his, urging him to take it via her eyes. He didn’t quite know how he knew… but he knew that she wanted to take him somewhere…

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I’ll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

As soon as his palm met hers, she snapped her hand around his and sprinted off, dragging him along. A sharp laugh flew into the air, and he couldn’t help but grin.

If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart

“Come on! Let’s enjoy life!”

If you need to crash then crash and burn
You’re not alone

He was still trying to regain composure after the sprint when she spoke to him. He took a glance at her, wondering what in the world she was smoking… he hadn’t seen her like this in forever.

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find

“You’re not alone in this world, so stop acting like it!” her voice was like an angel to his ears… and her eyes were a mysteriously and heavenly light to his own. And yet he didn’t know what in the world she was doing.

You’re caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head

“Don’t be afraid to take the world as it comes. It comes good sometimes, it comes bad other times. Just live for what it’s worth.”

When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can’t face the day

His face must’ve shown confusion after she said this, because her overly strange attitude softened. A gentle smile remained on her face, however, and taking his hand, she continued to lead him into the vivid lights of the city.

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I’ll break your fall

With the lights flashing above their heads, they sped through the crowded streets, his hand never being freed. Through all this, the mysterious look in her eyes haunted the boy, but he still smiled, knowing that he wasn’t in danger.

Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart

It wasn’t until the bright lights had been left behind did she slow her pace, slowing their walk to no more than a slow walk. He still didn’t dare speak, not wanting to stray her from the thoughts that trailed through her head, and ultimately were revealed as a mysterious glance.

I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn

“Just remember…
You’re not alone”

Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when it’s over you’ll breathe again
You’ll breathe again

They were standing at the edge of the earth, where anymore steps would send them into the clear blue waters that streched ahead of them. The tranquil environment didn’t last for long, as she grabbed his hand once again, and jumped straight into the crystal waters.

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

And here she revealed her secret, the mystery that had been overcasting her eyes the entire trip. Pointing to the deep sky, the boy’s eyes travelled up and saw the full bright moon directly above them, showering it’s white brilliance right down onto the two of them. He couldn’t help himself but to gasp.

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I’ll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You’re not alone

“If you ever need a friend… I’m here.”
