Would I turn you off or away? If I pull you in Would I push you out Of something here you care about? I'm at a loss for what to do I'm drawn to you I wish I was a sweater wrapped around your hips And when it got too cold into me you'd slip And when the sun came back you would hang me up And I would watch you while you undress I'm not a song I am not a sweater I'm not a fire I am something better I'm a man in love writing you a letter Will you take it Will you keep it Will you read it Believe it I love you I'm sorry[/i][/center] [hr] I'm apparently back to my angsty teenage years of basing RPs off songs. But hey, let's give it a go. Been listening to this song on repeat lately, and I think it'd make for a pretty cool story. I know I want it to be in a historical setting, but exactly when is up for grabs. Could be pre-Civil War Antebellum era, could be WWI-era...willing to work on this bit. The big 'plot point' here is the classic trope of classism. A man who develops strong feelings for a woman he can't have, for a variety of reasons. I'm picturing a farmer's/plantation owner's daughter, and maybe some kind of hired farmhand or local handyman. Maybe she's already seeing someone or betrothed to someone, maybe their pedigrees are just too different, etc. There can be a lot of different ways to insert some drama into it, and that's what I'd like to brainstorm with you!
