Lyrics
I'm fighting too hard to win
Back on the ground again
I feel like giving in
But you're my second wind

Don't you ever tire
Facing all my fires
I don't need no one but you right now
So, I say

[Refrain:]
Oh, my friend, you're holding out your hand
I take it like an oar from the depth
Hey, Lifesaver, I'm drowning in despair
But you're fighting for me right until the end.
You pull me back to land and save me once again

You help me wash away
The insane mistakes I made
And I see it in your face
My only source of grace

No, I don't take for granted
All the time you've wasted
Making sacrifices for a fool
So, I say

[Refrain]

You lift me higher,
You hold the fire,
You make me strong enough to stay
You lift me higher,
You hold the fire,
Made up stand tall
But without you I'd fall

[Refrain]

You lift me higher,
You hold the fire,
You make me strong enough to stand

Oh my goodness, I'M HAVING SO MANY KATE AND DOUG FEELS RIGHT NOW. Thank you dear Festividder for making such a lovely vid that wonderfully captures the growth of Kate and Doug's relationship. A lot of the lyric matches were spot on, and there's some terrific musicality throughout. And I particularly enjoyed how you really stuck with Kate's POV. Thank you so much!

Beautiful! I especially love the moments that cut between action shots and close-ups of their faces -- it really amplified the emotion.

I enjoyed the build you had going on throughout the song, and you really stuck the landing - er, ending! :)

Hahah. Thanks!

I have a lot of inexpressible feelings now, but the top one is joy.

Awww! Great use of the skating choreography. This feels like it could have been filmed to go with this music.

[barkley.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[deirdre_c]

Yay! That was a joy to watch. Loved how you paired the lyrics with the skating footage, how it shows the relationship and the development between the characters.

Oh, what a lovely song choice for this vid! Wonderful job, I really enjoyed it.

[barkley.livejournal.com]

I heard the song on the radio a lot the past year. I knew it was only a matter of time before I found a source to vid to id. :)

[tassosss]

This is so good! It brings back all the feels I have about the movie. I really love how you capture the struggle and the joy and, guh, everything!

This is great! Is it available for download somewhere? I don't see it on the website.

[barkley.livejournal.com]

RIght now it's not available. I will probably amend that at some point in the future.

And thank you very much! :)
