Hey,
I know I don't post here much, so I hope it's okay with the mods that I do this, but here goes:
Oh, I'll settle down with some old story
About a boy who's just like me
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
You're so naive!
After a while they always get it
They always reach a sorry end
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
With a winning smile, the boy
With naivety succeeds
At the final moment, I cried
I always cry at endings
-Belle and Sebastian, "Get me away from here, I'm dying," If you're feeling sinister
What book/story do you think of when you hear that? Can you please share it with me? Because I heard those lyrics and desperately needed to read a book like that. I have no gender preference for the protagonist (who is described in the lyrics as male).
Please, please, please: if you can help me with this, I will forever be in your debt.
Thank You!
-Nicole
