![Lifeline [fanmix]](https://fanfictionbook.net/img/nofanfic.jpg)
I was very, very close to finalizing my Illyana playlist, Tether, when I started hearing songs and thinking, "oh man, this is such a Kitty-POV Katyana song, it's too bad I'm not making a mix for her..." but then of course I started collecting those tracks too and here we are today. I'm actually happy I gave in and made this one as well because I feel like it's a nice balance to Tether. Coming from Kitty's POV, there is still some angst and tough times but this mix is more optimistic overall than Illyana's. This one also has more teenage romantic/sexual longing, which is always fun! Even through the dark times (Illyana is an angst magnet, after all), Kitty's devotion to Illyana is unwavering. I love these girls. <3
1. I Really Like You - Carly Rae Jepsen
It's like everything you say is a sweet revelation
All I wanna do is get into your head
Yeah, we could stay alone, you and me, in this temptation
Sipping on your lips, hanging on by thread, baby
Late night, watching television
But how'd we get in this position
It's way too soon, I know this isn't love
But I need to tell you something
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too
2. Starry Eyed - Ellie Goulding
So we burst into colors, colors and carousels
Fall head first like paper planes and playground games
Next thing, we're touching
You look at me, it's like you hit me with lightning
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And everybody glows
Oh, everybody's starry-eyed
And my body goes
Whoa oh oh
3. Style - Taylor Swift
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
4. We Looked Like Giants - Death Cab for Cutie
We looked like giants
In the back of my grey subcompact
Fumbling to make contact
As the others slept inside
And together there
In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
Began to pass from every pane of weathered glass
And I held you closer than anyone would ever get
5. Hiding - Florence + The Machine
I know you've tried
But something stops you every time
You cry a little, so do I, so do I
And it's your pride
That's keeping us still so far apart
But if you give a little, so will I, so will I
I know that you're hiding
I know there's a part of you that I just cannot reach
You don't have to let me in
Just know that I'm still here
I'm ready for you whenever, whenever you need
Whenever you want to begin
6. Guns and Horses - Ellie Goulding
It's time to come clean and make sense of everything
It's time that we found out who we are
Cause when I'm standing here in the dark
I see your face in every star
But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain, maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you, I would
7. Roman Holiday - Halsey
Could you imagine the taste of your lips
If we never tried to kiss on the drive to Queens
‘Cause I imagine the weight of your ribs
If you lied between my hips in the backseat
I imagine the tears in your eyes
The very first night I'll sleep without you
And when it happens I'll be miles away
And a few months late
Didn't know where I was running to
But I won't look back
8. Talking Body - Tove Lo
Day drunk into the night
Wanna keep you here
‘Cause you dry my tears
Summer lovin' and fights
How it is for us
And it's all because
Now if we're talking body
You got a perfect one so put it on me
Swear it won't take you long
If you love me right
We fuck for life
On and on and on
9. Night Sky - CHVRCHES
I can hear you in the overtones
Just an echo of the promise we made
Change the future, we can travel time
Or make us blind so we can never look back
I'm the night sky
I'm the fire in your eyes
And I want you
Now and for all time
10. Devotion - Ellie Goulding
Open up and let me in
Show the bruises on your skin
Let the fires all burn out
I can hear the silent shout in you
Let it go, don't be so scared
Find the love you lost again
Let the chaos disappear
Don't you know I'm always here for you
‘Cause this is devotion, I am lost
You're the only one I see
Our bodies in motion, I am caught
Floating in your gravity
Whenever you break, I'll fix it for you
I'm the one who drives to you at night
And maybe we'll fall a little deeper
I think our little hearts will be alright
11. Third Eye - Florence + The Machine
Hey, look up
You don't have to be a ghost
Here amongst the living
You are flesh and blood
And you deserve to be loved and you deserve what you are given
And oh, how much
'Cause there's a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And oh my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why
12. Flaws - Bastille
There’s a hole in my soul
I can’t fill it, I can’t fill it
There’s a hole in my soul
Can you fill it, can you fill it
You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve
And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground
Dig them up, let’s finish what we started
Dig them up, so nothing’s left unturned
13. Silhouettes - Of Monsters And Men
There's nothing that I'd take back
But it's hard to say there's nothing I regret
Cause when I sing, you shout
I breathe out loud
You bleed, we crawl like animals
But when it's over, I'm still awake
A thousand silhouettes dancing on my chest
No matter where I sleep, you are haunting me
But I'm already there, I'm already there
Wherever there is you, I will be there too
14. Photograph - Ed Sheeran
Oh you can fit me
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul
And if you hurt me
Well that's okay, baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
When I'm away
I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on 6th Street
Hearing you whisper through the phone
Wait for me to come home
15. The Hat - Ingrid Michaelson
I remember the first time we danced
I remember tunneling through the snow like ants
What I don't recall is why I said
I simply can't sleep in this tiny bed with you anymore
I should tell you that you were my first love
We were seventeen again together
16. Still Into You - Paramore
Some things just, some things just make sense
And one of those is you and I
Some things just, some things just make sense
And even after all this time
I'm into you, baby, not a day goes by
That I'm not into you
I should be over all the butterflies
But I'm into you
And baby even on our worst nights
I'm into you
Let 'em wonder how we got this far
'Cause I don't really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time
I'm still into you
