Title: For You to Notice
Warnings: Up until the season 13 finale.
Notes: A lot of these are post-season 13, what Ray might be feeling as he recovers in Baton Rouge away from Neela. I also didn't mean to have so many artist repeats but it was hard finding songs for every letter!
Almost Lover - A Fine Frenzyi never want to see you unhappy, i thought you'd want the same for me. goodbye, my almost lover. goodbye, my hopeless dream. i'm trying not to think about you, can't you just let me be? so long, my luckless romance, my back is turned on you. should've known you'd bring me heartache. almost lovers always do.
Become - Goo Goo Dollsthere's so much more about you that you never let them see. you turned away but not to me. and i know how they tried to take you. held you up and meant to break you down but you can't be. for so long i tried to reach you. i know i'm almost there, i'm close enough for you to see.
Can I Have a Kiss - Kelly Clarksondon't move, it's only a breath or two between our lips. i know why you left, i can't blame you myself. must be hard living with ghosts and such an empty shell.
Dreaming With a Broken Heart - John Mayerwhen you're dreaming with a broken heart, the waking up is the hardest part. you roll outta bed and down on your knees and for the moment you can hardly breathe. wondering was she really here? is she standing in my room? no she's not, cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
Elephant - Damien Ricewhat's the point of this song or even singing? you've already gone, why am i clinging? well i could throw it out, and i could live without and i could do it all for you. i could be strong, tell me if you want me to lie cause this has got to die.
For You to Notice - Dashboard Confessionali'm starting to fashion an idea in my head where i would impress you with every single word i said. would come out insightful, or brave, or smooth, or charming and you'd want to call me. and i would be there every time you'd need me, i'd be there every time. but for now i'll look so longingly waiting for you to want me, for you to need me, for you to notice me.
Go Away - Matt Morrisit's enough i let you hurt me but it's too much for me to bear the blame. please make this easy and go away. go away, i won't try and make you stay.
Honestly - Cary Brotherslookin for some hope, polished off the whiskey tonight. you turned a man to stone for lookin at you straight in the eyes. so i'll drive away with all my things though i've a faint belief in everything. i wished your love away, i wished your love away. honestly over you, honestly over you.
I'll Find a Way - Rachael Yamagatai used to think that anything i'd do wouldn't matter at all anyway. but now i find that when it comes to you, i'm the winner of cards i can't play. wait for me, wait for me. darling, i need you desperately, desperately here. and i'll find a way to see you again.
Just What I Needed - The Carsi don't mind you comin here and wastin all my time. cause when you're standing oh so near, i kinda lose my mind.
Killing Me Softly - The Fugeesstrumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words. killing me softly with his song. killing me softly with his song, telling my whole life with his words.
Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckleythis is our last embrace. must i dream and always see your face? why can't we overcome this wall? well, maybe it's just because i didnt know you at all. kiss me, please kiss me but kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation.
Maybe - Kelly Clarksonsomeday when we're at the same place, when we're on the same road, when it's okay to hold my hand without feeling lost, without all the excuses. when it's just because you love me, you let me, you need me. then maybe, maybe. all you have to do is hold me and you'll know and you'll see just how sweet it can be. if you'll trust me, love me, let me. maybe, maybe.
Nothing Compares 2 U - Stereophonicsit's been so lonely without you here, like a bird without a song. nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling. tell me baby, where did i go wrong? i could put my arms around every girl i see but they'd only remind me of you.
Old Apartment - Barenaked Ladiesbroke into the old apartment, this is where we used to live. broken glass, broke and hungry. broken hearts and broken bones. this is where we used to live...broke into the old apartment, tore the phone out of the wall. only memories, fading memories blending into dull tableaux. i want them back.
Picture - Sheryl Crow & Kid Rockliving my life in a slow hell, different girl every night at the hotel. i ain't seen the sun shine in three damn days. been fueling up on cocaine and whiskey, wish i had a good girl to miss me. lord i wonder if i'll ever change my ways. i put your picture away, sat down and cried today. i can't look at you while i'm lyin' next to her.
Quiet - Rachael Yamagataall the waves of blame arrange as broken scenery as they steal your best memories away. what if i was someone different in your only history? would you feel the same as i walk out the door never to see your face again? and it'll be just as quiet when i leave as it was when i first got here. it'll be just as quiet when i leave as it was when i first got here. i don't expect anything to change when i leave.
Ride - Cary Brothersyou are everything i wanted. the scars of all i'll ever know. if i told you you were right would you take my hand tonight? if i told you the reasons why would you leave your life and ride?
Stolen - Dashboard Confessionalwatch you spin around in your highest heels, you are the best one of the best ones. we all look like we feel. you have stolen my, you have stolen my,
you have stolen my heart.
Tonight I Wanna Cry - Keith Urbanalone in this house again tonight. i've got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine. there's pictures of you and i on the walls around me. the way that it was and could have been surrounds me. i'll never get over you walking away. i've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show. and I've thought that being strong meant never losing your self control but i'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain.
Used to the Pain - Keith Urbanand so i wrote this song for you. i think i know just what you're going through. did you believe you'd never change? nothin ever stays the same. i know it's hard holdin on, even harder trying to let it go. and so you're frozen like a stone but you are not alone.
Vienna - The Fraymaybe in five or ten yours and mine will meet again, straighten this whole thing out. maybe then honesty need not be feared as a friend or an enemy. this is the distance and this is my game face. there's really no way to reach me cause i'm already gone.
Weapon - Matthew Good Bandhere by my side, an angel. here by my side, the devil. never turn your back on me, never turn your back on me again. here by my side, it's heaven. here by my side, you are destruction. here by my side, a new color to paint the world. never turn your back on it, never turn your back on it again. here by my side, it's heaven.
X&Y - Coldplaytrying hard to speak and fighting with my weak hand. driven to distraction, so part of the plan. when something is broken and you try to fix it, trying to repair it any way you can. i dive in at the deep end, you become my best friend. i wanna love you but i don't know if i can.
You Could Be Happy - Snow Patrolyou could be happy and i won't know. but you weren't happy the day i watched you go. and all the things that i wish i had not said, are played in loops till it's madness in my head. is it too late to remind you how we were? but not our last days of silent screaming blur. most of what i remember makes me sure i should've stopped you from walking out the door. you could be happy i hope you are. you made me happier than i'd been by far. somehow everything i own, smells of you and for the tiniest moment it's all not true.
