Impossible Nothing But Thieves Lyrics Novels & Stories

“I used to be so tough Never really gave enough And then you caught my eye Giving me the feeling of a lightning strike. Look at me now, I’m falling I can’t even talk, still stuttering This ground I’m on keep shaking Oh oh oh now! All I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah Is somebody to you All I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah Is somebody to you! Everybody’s tryna be a billionaire But every time I look at you, I’m just don’t care

Without you, I've got no hand to hold. Without you, I feel torn. Like a sail in a storm. Without you, I'm just a sad song. You're the perfect melody, The only harmony I wanna hear. You're my favorite part of me, With you standing next to me, I've got nothing to fear. Without you, I feel broke. Like I'm half of a whole. Without you, I've got no hand to hold. Without you, I feel torn. Like a sail in a storm. Without you, I'm just a sad song.

With no one to share With no one who truly cares for me Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you, baby If I ain't got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you, you, you Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you, baby If I ain't got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you, yeah If I ain't got you with me, baby Said nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing If I ain't got you with me, baby

For a moment, I felt that putting a diamond ring on her finger wouldn't be such a bad idea. … After Cole fell asleep, Victoria quietly got up and headed to the basement. The dim room was filled with a foul, rotting stench. On the floor lay two figures—none other than the missing Carrie and Gabe. Admiring her freshly done nails, Victoria gave a casual command, "Begin." Two people stepped forward with tools in hand. Soon, the basement echoed with screams. Carrie and Gabe were subjected to inhuman torment, passing out from the pain, only to be splashed awake with cold water and dragged into another round of suffering.

She was still wearing the bracelet I'd given her two years ago on her birthday. That day, I had driven for hours through a storm to find the exact one she'd once mentioned in passing. I skidded off the road twice and was soaked to the bone. When I finally handed it to her, muddy and shivering, her eyes welled up with tears. Her voice was raw as she made promise after promise. "Mateo, I swear I'll marry you. If I ever betray you, may I be struck by lightning." As her words echoed in my head, I looked at her in disdain. "But I don't like coffee. You forgot, didn't you?" I met her eyes, speaking slowly and clearly.

The lyrics of the song drifted through my head. We spent some time together walking Spent some time just talking about who we were You held my hand so very tightly And told me what we could be dreaming of There's nothing like you and I "There's nothing like you and I," I whisper sang to Maxxie. "There's nothing like you and I," he sang back.

Feeling the wetness that was building up. I never felt this with Elvis, was that saying something? ”Tell you what,” he said and raised his head from looking in my bag. ”You do this job for me-no questions asked- or I take you and your bag to the cops.” I gulped, feeling worry stir in the pit of my stomach. The cops. They could choose to tie a lot of thefts to me. ”So, sweetheart,” he said, stepping closer once more.”What will it be?” * * *

I said, trying to steady my voice despite the storm of emotions raging within me. Victoria’s cold smile didn’t waver. “Threat or not, you should know that I’m not your average person. I always get what I want, by hook or by crook. You’re a nobody in my world, and I’ll be damned if I let you stand in my way. The best thing for you to do is resign, disappear, and never look back. Maybe then I’ll let you live.”

Her eyes darted shrewdly before she leaned in and whispered something into Leo’s ear. Just as I was about to leave, he lunged forward and grabbed my arm tightly. His face was flushed with shame, and behind him, Betty’s urging voice grew more and more impatient. He stumbled over his words as he tried to speak to me. “Lend me some money, Naomi! I’ll pay you back once I get it from my parents!” I shot him a look like he was the dumbest person I’d ever seen. “And why would I do that?” Leo hesitated.

I was eight, and she was ten, already bold as brass. We’d lifted a couple of apples from a market stall. It was nothing grand, just enough to quiet the gnawing in our bellies, but the rush of success had felt like victory, like proof we could survive on our own terms. And now here we were, those same scrappy petty thieves from King’s Street, racing away from the boldest score we’d ever pulled. “Hold on tight,” I shouted over the roar of the engine, leaning forward on the bike, the night breeze blowing my hair over my face.
