lo, a derek/stiles fanmix!

that title should really read “lo, a poorly constructed derek/stiles fanmix,” since largely what happened here is that i dumped a bunch of songs in no particular order into a derek/stiles playlist for my own nefarious purposes and then was like, “hmmm, i wonder if i should put this on the internet!” i believe that, in layman’s terms, this is known as the point of no return, but who can tell. tracklist and link above cut, lyric selections below cut for those who want to check them out, happy listening :D

Grab it here <3

Half Moon Rising | Yonder Mountain String Band

now the shoes on my feet, those soles broken down
and my coat is tattered and worn
and the hunger in my belly, and the fever in my head
will vanish ‘ere my first glimpse of home
and even though the rain may now be fallin’
the passion is deep and pushes me on

there’s a half moon rising in the southeastern skies

My Brain Says Stop But My Heart Says Go | FM Static

it moves fast like it is whiplash
everybody run and get a season pass
you think you understand it but you come up last
should’ve just passed
now you’re standing in a big disaster
i’m here to let you know
can’t trust what you think you know
don’t follow that yellow brick road
when your brain says stop but your heart says go

Out On The Town | Fun.

i knew there’d come a day
when all was said and done
when everything i was
is everything but gone
all my big mistakes
are bouncing off your wall
the bottles never break
the sun will never come
so come on let me in
i will be the sun
i will wake you up
i am who i was
just open up your heart

A Better Son/Daughter | Rilo Kiley

and sometimes when you’re on you’re really fucking on
and your friends they sing along and they love you
but the lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap
and it teases you for weeks in its absence
but you’ll fight and you’ll make it through
you’ll fake it if you have to
and you’ll show up for work with a smile
and you’ll be be better and you’ll be smarter
and more grown up and a better daughter
or son and a real good friend

Save Me | Aimee Mann

‘cause i can tell
you know what it’s like
the long farewell
of the hunger strike

but can you save me
come on and save me
if you could save me
from the ranks of the freaks
who suspect they could never love anyone

Cross Oceans | First Aid Kit

there’s something about you that i’m never gonna find out
i want to live that life again, i want to live that life again

the way that you say things so they sound so right
i want to cross oceans, i want to cross oceans

but everything i say i keep in the wrong side of my mouth
and when the words come out they don’t sound anything like
i imagined, ‘cause i imagined

Keep It Together (So I Can Fall Apart) | Ben Harper & Relentless7

i know you’ve grown tired of trying to feed me
and i know by now my reputation precedes me
i know you’ve grown tired of trying to fix me
and i know by now my best years, they are no longer, no longer with me

please keep it together
you gotta keep it together

This Is War | Ben Kweller

always stuck up in a daydream
can’t focus on the other team
hunted you all day and night
now I’m ready for a fight

this is war
yeah yeah yeah
this is war

Run-Around | Blues Traveler

tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking
and i’ve got some news for you
it seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
and there ain’t a whole lot that you can do

oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind’s gotten colder
perhaps i’ve grown a little cynical
but i know no matter what the waitress brings
i shall drink it and always be full
yeah, i will drink it and always be full

Dreams | Brandi Carlile

dreams, i have dreams
when i’m awake, when i’m asleep
and you, you are in my dreams
you’re underneath my skin, how am I so weak?

and now, in my dreams
i can feel the wait i can just come clean
i keep it to myself, i know what it means
i can’t have you but i have dreams

Freak | Urban Cone

i’m living in the shadows, i’m living on the street
if you try to get me, i’ll fight you back
they treat me like a monster, they treat me like a freak
don’t try to get me, i’ll fight you back

don’t leave footprints in the snow, footprints in the snow
cause they will track you like a freak, track you like a freak

Trust | Neon Trees

you, you got your head in a swing, yeah
and i, i’m trying to give you salvation
you appear as a devil, like a wolf in the woods
but you’re acting exactly as we expected you would
i said you, you read the words that i sing, it’s a shock to the system

falling down can feel strange, no one remembers your name
you’re losing the game, that’s the thing about trust
it’s always the same sad story again
you lose all your friends, that’s the thing about trust

Little Talks | Of Monsters And Men

i don’t like walking around this old and empty house
so hold my hand, i’ll walk with you my dear
the stairs creak as i sleep, it’s keeping me awake
it’s the house telling you to close your eyes

some days i can’t even trust myself
it’s killing me to see you this way

‘cause though the truth may vary
this ship will carry
our bodies safe to shore

Steady Ready Strong | Rockwell Church

me at a quarter century
chasing the ghosts of my family
they won’t let go of me

don’t bend don’t break don’t crumble
the only kingdom i’ll ever make
these are little earths
these are little quakes
so don’t tremble when i shake
‘cause i’m steady, i’m ready, i’m strong
i’m strong

Magenta Radio | Rusted Root

well can i say something just a little more
i bet you we could talk into the morning honey
i bet you we never see the morning without a hornet
buzzing around our door

cause every time i look in your mirror i see smoke from your gun
we both got itchy triggers and we wear them for fun
we got two stories to tell
and one of them must be wrong

Comeback Kid | Sleigh Bells

i know it’s hard but you’ve gotta deal with it
one look around, show me what you’re made of
don’t turn around, go get your gun ready
everyday there’s a way to do it just right

don’t run away ‘cause that’s a dealbreaker
you gotta turn around, never let your guard down
i’ll see you but i know it’s gonna save you baby
you always run around breaking all the rules baby

i know you try so hard, but you carry that weight
you gotta try a little harder, you’re the comeback kid

Walkie Talkie Man | Steriogram

well you’re walkin and a talkin
and a movin and a groovin
and a hippin and a hoppin
and a pickin and a boppin
those bods are being bad
you better take a stand
you gonna wake up that thing in your hand
you’re looking all around
there is trouble to be found
make sure when you find it you get to say it loud
gotta code three, need back up, bring me
my bright red fluro jacket

Take Care (Drake Cover) | Florence & The Machine

i’ve asked about you and they’ve told me things
my mind didn’t change, i still feel the same
a life with no fun, please don’t be so ashamed
i’ve had mine and you’ve had yours
we both know we know

they don’t get you like i will, my only wish is i die real
cause the truth hurts and those lies heal
can’t sleep thinking that he lies still
so you cry, tears on the pillowcase
let’s all get a little taste
pushing me away so i give you space
feeling with a heart that i didn’t break
i’ll be there for you, i will care for you
i keep thinking you just don’t know
try to run with that, say you’re done with that
on your face but it just don’t show
when you’re ready just say you’re ready
when all the baggage just ain’t as heavy
and the party’s over just don’t forget me
change the pace and just go slow

Honey And The Moon | Joseph Arthur

we’re made out of blood and rust
looking for someone to trust without a fight
i think that you came too soon
you’re the honey and the moon
that lights up my night

but right now everything you want is wrong,
and right now all your dreams are waking up,
and right now i wish that i could follow you
to the shores of freedom
where no one lives

Wolf Like Me (TV On The Radio Cover) | Lera Lynn

got a curse we cannot lift
shines when the sunset shifts
there’s a cure comes with a kiss
the bite that binds the gift that gives

now that we’re got gone for good
writhing under your riding hood
tell your grandma and your mama too
it’s true, true, true
