Title: My Favorite Place Is Me And You

I keep trying to make a fluffy mix about these two, but it always gets tragic by the end. Sigh.

Mostly Carmen's POV. More of the pairing here and at

where_inthewrld.

Beastie Boys | She's Crafty
Meet Carmen. You'll have fun, although you might regret it in the morning.

The girl is crafty, she knows all the moves
I started playing records, she knew all the grooves
He thought she was a thief and D. was right
But I just figured she'd spend the night

When I woke up late in the afternoon
She had taken all the things from inside his room
I found myself sleeping in the middle of the floor
She had taken the bed and the chest of drawers

The mirror, the TV, the new guitar cord
My remote control and my old skateboard
She robbed us blind, she took all we owned
And the boys blamed me for bringing her home

The Magnetic Fields | All You Ever Do Is Walk Away
And here's Waldo. He never manages to stay in the same place for long.

You have a language of your own, an unconnected road
The people you called your friends, the places you won't go again
The decades lost in finding them, you'll have to let them go
But all you ever do is walk away

Peggy Lee | I Love Being Here With You
It's like they were destined for each other.

I love the East, I love the West
North and South, they're both the best
But I only want go there as a guest
Cause I love being here with you

I love the sea, I love the shore
I love the rocks and what is more
You and they never be a bore
Cause I love being here with you

Journey | Nothin' Comes Close
Beats all the other things she's run off with, that's for sure.

I know where I'm going now
You are where I belong

I've been around the world, ain't much that I've missed
It don't get much better then this...Oh baby
Nothin' comes close to your kiss
I've thought I felt it all before
One taste and I want more...Oh baby
Nothin' comes close to your kiss

Kate Miller-Heidke | Space They Cannot Touch
Still, she might not be able to hang on to this one.

My favourite place is me and you...

Morning sun warms our skin
And distant sounds
The day begins
Soon their world will come calling for us
But this is the space they cannot touch

I just hope I am good enough to keep you

Simon & Garfunkel | America
She's used to being a fugitive, but it's making him existential.

"[Carmen]," I said, as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've come to look for America."

Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said, "Be careful, his bowtie is really a camera..."

"[Carmen], I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping
"I'm empty and aching, and I don't know why."

Ben Harper | Steal My Kisses
And he isn't exactly thrilled about her choice of career.

Now I've been hangin around you for days
But when I lean in you just turn your head away
I know you didn't mean that
[He] said I love the way you think but I hate the way you act

'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Fleetwood Mac | Go Your Own Way
Separation.

Loving you isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things that I feel?
If I could, baby, I'd give you my world
How can I when you won't take it from me?

You can go your own way, go your own way
You can call it another lonely day

Madonna | Miles Away
They still love each other, but it's easier this way.

When no one's around and I have you here
I begin to see the picture, it becomes so clear
You'll always have the biggest heart, when we're 6,000 miles apart

Too much of no sound, uncomfortable silence can be so loud
Those three words are never enough, when it's long distance love

You'll always love me more miles away
I hear it in your voice when you're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me miles away
I guess we're at our best, we were miles away

Great Lake Swimmers | Where In The World Are You
Even if she can't help looking for him in every scene.

I've been looking in churches and looking in bars
Thought that I saw you in the oncoming cars
It was your reflection cast off by the light
And into the sky of this dark city night

And I thought that I saw you in the tallest of trees
Swayed back and forth in the mid-autumn breeze
When the leaves reddened and left too
I knew then that it wasn't you

Where in the world are you now?

Chicago | Remember The Feeling
And his life is never going to be quite that exciting again.

Taking me places that I've never been
She had the beauty that comes from within'
Was dreaming was it too good to be true
I was a man all alone in the night
She came along and she showed me the light
I was confused then she told me the way
I was alone and I begged her to stay

She was alive, I was caught by the fire
She brought emotions that filled my desire
I should have noticed that something was wrong
When I was awoke she was gone

Bonus | Daft Punk | Around The World

Around the world, around the world
Around the world, around the world
Around the world, around the world
Around the world, around the world
