I want something
That’s purer than the water
Like we were
So there they stood, face to face, walls finally crumbling down. “Why’d you do it, Kate?” Jack asked, staring her straight in the eye. “Why did you follow us when I told you to stay?”
“I don’t know.” Kate replied simply, trying to avoid his gaze and stare at the cell wall. She was cornered now. He was pressuring her for answers and she had no where to run this time.
It’s not there now
Ineloquence and anger
Are all we have
“For once, why don’t you try tell me the truth.” Jack said. “Stop hiding inside yourself and just tell me the truth for once.”
Kate frowned at him. “I said that I didn’t know.” she replied, her gaze turning to him. It was hard to see through the dim light, but she could make out the anger on his face. Why couldn’t she just tell him the truth?
Like Saturn’s rings
An icy loop around me
Too hard to hold
Jack sighed deeply. Why did she have to do this? How was he supposed to get close to her? What was she so afraid of? “Why did you kiss me?” he tried to change it to a different question.
Lash out at first
At all the things we don’t like
Or understand
“Because I was upset and you were there!” Kate told him. How she wished he’d just leave her alone. “I was upset and you were there….That’s it, okay!”
And it’s beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and the sea
Than I do of what’s in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed
Jack nodded his head slightly, searching her eyes for anything. Any emotion that she wasn’t showing. Everything was clouded by fear though. He didn’t understand her. But that was because she wouldn’t let him understand her.
Kate rubbed her forehead and closed her eyes. “I’m sorry.” she said, quietly. She opened her mouth to speak, but shut it again, shaking her head. “I just…I don’t know.” He was trying to break her. She could feel it. “Everything is just too much.”
Are you beginning to get my point
They’re always fighting with aching joints
It’s doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight’s about
Jack nodded and moved closer to her, lifting her chin when she looked down. “Everything is going to be okay.” he told her. “I’m going to get us out of this….Everything’s going to be okay.”
The answer phone
The lonely sound of your voice
Frozen in time
Kate nodded slightly and looked up at him. She held his gaze for a moment before looking down again. “Just don’t let them take me away from you again.” she whispered almost pleadingly. “Please don’t let them take me again.”
I only need
The compass that you gave to me
To guide me on
“I’m not going to let them take you again.” Jack assured her. They needed out of this place. He needed to get them out. He needed to get Kate out. The need to get her out of here made him try to think of a plan even harder than usual. “I’ll get us out of here and they won’t take you.” he told her.
And it’s beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and the sea
Than I do of what’s in your head
Barely touching in out cold bed
She looked down with tears filling her eyes and he stared at her in confusion. “Kate, why can’t you talk to me?” he asked
Are you beginning to get my point
They’re always fighting with aching joints
It’s doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fights about
“You wouldn’t understand.” Kate told him, shaking her head.
“How do you know?” Jack asked. “The only reason I don’t understand right now is because you won’t let me understand.”
It’s so thrilling but also wrong
Don’t have to prove that you are so strong
Cos I can carry you on my back
After out enemies attack
“Because if I open up to you, I’m afraid that you’ll leave me.” Kate whispered, her eyes glued to the cold cell floor. Her walls came crumbling down. It was because she was afraid he’d leave her. The tears began to flow and he pulled her into his arms. “I’m not going to leave you.” he whispered. “Ever.”
I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screaming under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense
“I love you.” Jack told her. He’d finally said it. Finally admitted he loved her. He’d wanted to do it for so long. Since he’d first met her. “I wanted to tell you that since we met.”
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under it’s weight
I’m gasping for air to fill
My lungs with everything I’ve lost
Kate pulled away slightly. She stared at him, not sure what to say. She wanted to say it back, but it was hard. Too hard. Love was something she wasn’t sure she could do.
Jack looked at her then sighed and looked away. He’d never get through to her.
Kate didn’t want to ruin this though. She opened her mouth. “I love you too.” The words left her.
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under it’s weight
I’m gasping for air to fill
My lungs with everything I’ve lost
That was it. ‘I love you’. It had been that easy. She scooted closer to him and looked into his eyes. It had been that easy. Their eyes closed and their lips pressed together in a slow passionate kiss. All along. It had been that easy.
