With You (Song Inspired Contest.... #1)

With You 
-Billy Klippert 

Who knows what tomorrow will bring,
All we have is today
Maybe this is the calm before the storm
Who can really say, who can really say

(Chorus)
I want to be with you at the end of the world
And breathe my last breath in your arms
I want to be with you at the end of the world
And burn across the sky like two shooting stars

There's no place that I'd rather be
Than with you here today
Maybe this is the dark before the dawn
Who can really say, who can really say

(Chorus)

Wherever you are you're what I need
Wherever you are that's where I want to be

(Chorus)

 

Now, give me a story inspired by those lyrics.

No suicide/cutting stories
No erotica
No poems

 

Here's a 'live' version of the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZBYdf8LFPw ...kind of not too good, though. It's recorded in a mall, with those lovely acoustics. Undecided

  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100
  • Final notes:
    I thank you all for entering. Although the stories were based on the same lyrics, I got some very unique entries. This was a tough one to judge, and I think the top three switched places at least four times while I read and reread.....

      Although the lyrics are sort of standard, the studio version of the song is amazing.

    I think I might try to write something for this...
    Do you accept GBLT stories?

      As long as it's not erotica.
