Lyrics
Don't stray

Don't ever go away

I should be much too smart for this

You know it gets the better of me

Sometimes

When you and I collide

I fall into an ocean of you

Pull me out in time

Don't let me drown

Let me down

I say it's all because of you

And here I go

Losing my control

I'm practicing your name

So I can say it

To your face it doesn't

Seem right

To look you in the eye

Let all the things

You mean to me

Come tumbling out my mouth

Indeed it's time

Tell you why

I say it's

Infinitely true



Say you'll stay

Don't come and go

Like you do

Sway my way

Yeah I need to know

All about you



And there's no cure

And no way to be sure

Why everything's turned inside out

Instilling so much doubt

It makes me so tired

I feel so uninspired

My head is battling with my heart

My logic has been torn apart

And now

It all turns sour

Come sweeten

Every afternoon



Say you'll stay

Don't come and go

Like you do

Sway my way

Yeah I need to know

All about you



Say you'll stay

Don't come and go

Like you do

Sway my way

Yeah I need to know

All about you



It's all because of you

It's all because of you



Now it all turns sour

Come sweeten

Every afternoon

It's time

Tell you why

I say it's

Infinitely true



Say you'll stay

Don't come and go

Like you do

Sway my way

Yeah I need to know

All about you



Say you'll stay

Don't come and go

Like you do

Sway my way

Yeah I need to know

All about you



It's all because of you

It's all because of you

It's all because of you

This is so lovely. <3

[anoel]

Awww this is so beautiful and sweet! I love how you focused on Alistair/Athena and really brought the journey to light.

[goodbyebird]

Oh this was absolutely lovely!

[chaila]

This is so lovely and delicate and full of empathy that it hurts me a little to watch it, in exactly the way that the show did. This makes me mourn the loss of the show all over again.

[bironic]

I'm sure I'm missing 90% of what was going on with Alistair/Athena (having never seen the source) but this vid still felt so gentle and empathic. Nicely done.

[(Anonymous)]

thanks so much, this is lovely! With the shippy song I kind of expected Alistair/Trent, so it was a nice twist for it to be largely addressed to Athena. Particularly "practicing your name so I can say it to your face" was perfect.

Awww, this is just beautiful and perfect.

[ghost_lingering]

Awwww, I'm glad that it ended happy! This is wonderful.

[daybreak]

So well done. Such a good view of Alastair's/Athena's journey.

I miss Huge!

[gool_duck]

This is so lovely and so sweet.

[streussal]

Oh this is lovely.

[isagel]

This is so sweet! :D

[bingeling]

I don't know anything about this show, but I'm really glad you introduced me to Alistair/Athena . Your vid is very precious and gentle and just lovely.

[sasha_feather]

This is very moving and beautiful.

[sanguinity]

And now that I've finished urgently rec'ing this to friends...

This was lovely and charming and hearfelt, and still makes me weepy after my fifth watch (and outright brought to tears at least one of my friends), and I am so glad you brought this vid into the world for us to see, thank you.
