Melissa Etheridge ~♥~ Loved You Before
("Homura-chan, have we met somewhere...?")

When I think of how you know me
No doubts, no thinking twice...
I get this feeling
That I have loved you before

Were we lovers in an army
Marching all for Rome
Side by side in battle
Did we bravely leave our home?
Did I hold you in my arms
As you were taking your last breath?
Did shout to all the gods
That I would love you beyond death
Or more?
I swear I've loved you before

Billy Joel ~♥~ All About Soul
(Homura's reflection on the person she's loved more and more with every timeline.)

And so far she hasn't run
Though I swear she's had her moments
She still believes in miracles
While others cry in vain

It's all about soul
It's all about faith and a deeper devotion
It's all about soul
'Cause under the love is a stronger emotion

She's got to be strong
'Cause so many things getting out of control
Should drive her away, so why does she stay?
It's all about soul

Within Temptation ~♥~ Running Up That Hill
("This time, I want to be the one to protect her!"...no matter how long it takes.)

And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
So if I only could...

Yellowcard ~♥~ Afraid
(Homura, trapped in the rubble, despair approaching.)

I am afraid right now
I don't wanna let you down
And I am the one who can't be saved?
The only thing I say
I am afraid right now
What if I can't get out?
What if I don't want to be saved?
This is me afraid

The Classic Crime ~♥~ Flight of Kings
(Madoka realizes she's been protected by Homura all this time...but now she has to step up.)

Twenty two years have passed by
As I contemplate
I can recall you getting me out of every scrape
What comes first to my mind
Was the change that I so desperately needed to make...

I was brought up through the ashes
Like a phoenix birthing wings
And I will fight through my disasters
I will take the flight of kings
And if your life is ever torched
Or if you know the pain I sing
Then will you sing with me this chorus
And we will cut through people's hearts and free them

Default ~♥~ Count On Me
(For all the puella magi, there's someone to greet them at the end.)

I wonder why nobody's waiting on you
I'd like to be the one to pull you through
Your darkest times, I'd love to be the light that finds you
I see a silver lining on your cloud
I'll pick you up whenever you fall down
Just take my hand and I will help you stand...

Anytime you need someone
Somebody strong to lean on
Well you can count on me to hold you 'til the healing is done
And every time you fall apart
Well you can hide here in my arms
And you can count on me to hold you 'til that feeling is gone

AKINO ~♥~ Genesis of Aquarion
(But especially for Homura.)

Looking at everything that I've lost
And almost everything that I've loved
I'll hold them all tightly in my arms
Wondering where I am, so please tell me where to go...

In my wings are the powers of immortality
But by meeting you my whole life has changed
You give light to me, hope to me, strength into my life

All this time, these twelve thousand years, I know AISHITERU
Eight thousand years from the time that I've met you my love grows strong than ever before
Words can't say of this time I've been waiting to share my love with you
I'd give you my life, I would give you the world to see you smiling every day
One hundred million and two thousand years from now AISHITERU
I want you to know since you came in my life
Every day, every night you give light into the darkest skies

Blake Lewis ~♥~ End Of The World
(Homura on Earth, fighting, and waiting.)

Till these shadows disappear
I still wait to find you here....
Never forget what it's like
To surrender in your eyes
Holding on till the day you find me

So meet me at the end of the world, I'm waiting
Meet me at the end of the world, please save me
This could be the place where we start
The rest of our lives

Thriving Ivory ~♥~ Kiss The Rain
(Madoka, ascendant, but also waiting.)

Kiss the rain, whenever you need me
Kiss the rain, whenever I'm gone too long
If your lips feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain and wait for the dawn
Keep in mind, we're under the same sky
And the night's as lonely for me as for you
If you feel you can't wait till morning
Kiss the rain

Journey ~♥~ Beyond The Clouds
(Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is watching you.)

Sorrow seems endless
Now there's only so much
That a man can bear
Hold on so tender
To a glimmer of faith
Gets me half way there
I know it will shine again
With some prayer and some patience
We'll find our way home

Beyond the clouds
That's where my soul waits
She's waiting now
Just beyond

X-Ray Dog ~♥~ Angel's Flight
(Reunion.)

(Instrumental.)

~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Bonus ~♥~ Rihanna ~♥~ We Found Love (Extended)

Now we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive

It's the way I’m feeling I just can't deny...
We found love in a hopeless place
