Song Lyric Prompts Saturday

[lizziec]

Yesterday's DPP was a confessional post and you all took the idea and ran with it. There's some really interesting secrets and some discussions that delve quite deeply in to characterisation and produced some really interesting meta-ish thoughts. The discussion is still going on over there, and there were new confessions coming in quite late last night/early this morning, so if you have time today please do pop back to that post and join in with the discussions and start new ones. It's been absolutely fascinating reading them.

Today's DPP is Song Lyric Prompts Saturday. This is absolutely not the same thing as song fic but rather an opportunity to use a line from a song as a prompt for some fic.

Rules:

• The prompts have to be a lyric from a song


• It would be nice, but not necessary, if you could include the artist/title in case someone wants to go and look up the song in question


• You don't have to include the lyric in your fic, just use it as a jumping off point, though you can include it if you feel it fits in


• There is no limit to the length of the fic


• The fics can be set in AU


• If your fic ends up being R or NC-17 rated then please show that in the comment title

I've envisaged this as a sort of all weekend thing, so please do keep checking back :) I'll post a couple of prompts to get you going :)

Staind-- Right Here

[kl-shipper1.livejournal.com]

I know I've been mistaken
But just give me a break and see the changes that I've made
I've got some imperfections
But how can you collect them all and throw them in my face?

But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if you chose to walk away, I'd still be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting

I hope you're not intending
To be so condescending
It's as much as I can take
And you're so independent
You just refuse to bend, so I keep bending till I break

But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting

I've made a commitment
I'm willing to bleed for you
I needed fulfillment
I found what I need in you

Why can't you just forgive me
I don't want to relive all the mistakes I've made along the way
But I always find a way to keep you right here waiting
I always find the words to say to keep you right here waiting

But you always find a way
To keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if I chose to walk away, would you be right here waiting?
Searching for the things to say to keep me right here waiting
