Song: With or Without You by U2
Pairing: Shannon and Boone (from Boone's POV)

I heard this on the radio today and thought it fit so well for Shannon and Boone. I see someone has used it for Charlie and Claire, but I think this would be great too. It could follow their love/hate relationship, especially as it has affected Boone. As I was hearing it I could imagine scenes from the show. "You give it all but I want more" fits with their affair. All the "with or without you" lines could go along with scenes of them being happy alternating with the fighting. The end fits well with the end of Boone's life, the "hands are tied" is almost too easy with Boone being tied up. "body bruised, nothing to win and nothing left to lose" goes along well with him dying. These are just some ideas to use or not. I'd love to see someone take this on.

Here are the lyrics:

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

Chorus repeats
