Mix - Fake News: I Like You (Too Much)
Medium: Television
Fandom: The Daily Show/The Colbert Report
Subject: Jon/"Stephen"
Title: I Like You (Too Much)
Warnings: Emotional abuse
A highly dysfunctional relationship, in two parts. In which Jon gets put through the emotional wringer, but cares too much about Stephen (and, for a time, too little about himself) to do anything but keep coming back for more.
This is Jon's POV; Stephen's songs can be found here. The songs are numbered so that you can either listen to the two mixes separately, or throw them together in one folder and let the views alternate throughout the story.
1 | TAYLOR SWIFT | I'D LIE
He sees everything in black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine
I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him
I'd lie
2 | SARAH JOHNS | HE HATES ME
But he's got these brown eyes that drive me crazy
And oh my god that smile of his just slays me
Yeah I love him, wanna have his babies
The only problem is, he hates me
5 | ALANIS MORISSETTE | NARCISSUS
Dear egotist boy, you've never really had to suffer any consequence
You've never stayed with anyone longer than ten minutes
You'd never understand anyone showing resistance
Dear popular boy, I know you're used to getting everything so easily
A stranger to the concept of reciprocity
People honor boys like you in this society
And any talk of selflessness
And any talk of working at this
And any talk of being of service
Leaves you running for the door
Why, why do I try to help you
When you really don't want me to?
8 | MORISSEY | I LIKE YOU
No one I ever knew
or have spoken to resembles you
This is good or bad
All depending on my general mood
Why do you think I let you get away
With all the things you say to me?
Could it be I like you?
It's so shameful of me, I like you
12 | MADONNA | BORDERLINE
Something in your eyes is makin' such a fool of me
When you hold me in your arms you love me till I just can't see
But then you let me down, when I look around, baby you just can't be found
Stop driving me away, I just wanna stay
There's something I just got to say...
Keep on pushing me baby
Don't you know you drive me crazy
You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline
14 | THE BEATLES | YOU LIKE ME TOO MUCH
Though you've gone away this morning
You'll be back again tonight
Telling me there'll be no next time
If I just don't treat you right
You'll never leave me and you know it's true
'Cause you like me too much and I like you
16 | MICHAEL STANLEY BAND | HEAVEN AND HELL
One more night without you
I don't think my heart's gonna take the strain...
All alone with the memories of nights
Your body beside me, I still feel the sparks
But now all that I can do is light another cigarette
And lie here in the dark...
I just want to be the one that you run to
'Cause I'm the one who loves you
And, baby, I've been up all night
Thinking about you
Wrong or right, kinda hard to tell
Got me walking the line
In between heaven and hell
18 | BACKSTREET BOYS | HELPLESS WHEN SHE SMILES
She keeps the secrets in her eyes
She wraps the truth inside her lies
Just when I can't take what she's done to me
She comes to me
And leads me back to paradise
She's so hard to hold
But I can't let go
I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
A reckless ride in the pouring rain
She cuts me and the pain is all I wanna feel
She danced away just like a child
She drives me crazy, drives me wild
But I'm helpless when she smiles
19 | DOLLY PARTON | HERE YOU COME AGAIN
Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And lie those pretty lies
And pretty soon I'm wonderin' how I came to doubt you
All you got to do is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
20 | SHAWN MULLINS | BEAUTIFUL WRECK
I've lost count of the times I'd given up on you
But you make such a beautiful wreck, you do
There's a tavern on the corner called the Milky Way
And you look so at home there it makes me afraid
And at the dark end of this bar
What a beautiful wreck you are
22 | BOWLING FOR SOUP | SCARING MYSELF
She took more than she gave to me
I gave my love, I got an STD
If she comes home, I hope that she'll marry me
I wanna tell her that it's over now
Hey look I'm arguing with myself
I think that my girlfriend is bad for my mental health
Now I'm scaring myself
The rollercoaster makes me sick and she knows it
That's why she always insists that I go on it
She told her friends that I need therapy, yea
I need a self-help group or a lobotomy
23 | DAVE MATTHEWS BAND | THE DREAMING TREE
I do not deny
I know in my mind
I would leave you now
If I had the strength to
I would leave you up
To your own devices
26 | SAVING JANE | COME DOWN TO ME
You're beautiful
Just the way you are
And I love it all
Every line, and every scar
And I wish that I could make you see
This is where you ought to be
Come down to me
29 | JOHN BARROWMAN | I KNOW HIM SO WELL
No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide...
Wasn't it good, wasn't it fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little more than me
More security, he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
30 | TAYLOR SWIFT | THE WAY I LOVED YOU
He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it’s like
I couldn’t ask for anything better...
He can’t see the smile I’m faking
And my heart’s not breaking
Cause I’m not feeling anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating intoxicating complicated
Got away by some mistake and now
I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it’s 2 AM and I’m cursing your name
You’re so in love that you act insane
And that’s the way I loved you
Breakin’ down and coming undone
It’s a roller-coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that’s the way I loved you
