"THE" SONG FOR 4 OTPS (INARGUABLE)
You ever love to roll around in your fandoms and find songs that fit your OTPs and make and share fanmixes? Sure.
But then there's ONE PLATONIC IDEAL of a song that so ridiculously fits that OTP that you can't stop thinking of it every time you hear it, even years or decades later? Maybe even if you don't actively ship it anymore, or never shipped it super-strongly? But still?
So you sign into Tumblr after like ten years of silence just to share?

"Portal" by Lights

If I could, I'd cut through the cables and cords
But I'd never be able
My life's at the table with yours
Immortal
Nothing is sacred and nothing is sure anymore
Except all that you are and stand for
Guide me toward your portal

When you're flying high, take my heart along
I'll be the harmony to every lonely song
That you learn to play
And I'll be on the other end, to hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly, and if you get too high
I'll catch you when you fall
(And Sulu replies with Harbor.

"Amazed" by Poe

You change the equation I add up to
And all of the things that I thought I knew
You turn it around [<- "turnabout"??]
At all of the things I know you have done
This time I think that we've really won
The tables have turned [<- "TURNABOUT"?????],
Now I'm taking my hat off to you
Said "we'll see"
But darling, it's all clear to me
I'm amazed
Last of all let's go allllll the way back to preteenagery with the first (and perhaps strongest?) OTP of all, Cloud/Tifa.
"And So It Goes" by Billy Joel

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self-defense
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break.
THERE. That surely meant something to at least some person, somewhere, someday. Now I have to remember everyone's smushnames for the tags
