When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Ehm. Yep.

I hit a complete blank with the background. I really had no clue what to do with it, so there you are.

Rip and the "Panda Shepherd" girl I adopted on dA. She still needs a name - any ideas?

I also found a slight problem with this little pairing/friendship. Rip lives in the 1940s and Panda German Shepherds only appeared in the 2000s. Hmm. Oh, well.
