MEDIUM: Television
FANDOM: The Big Bang Theory
SUBJECT: Sheldon/Penny
TITLE: Gravity Is Not Responsible
WARNINGS: None, unless delusional fanon speculation needs a warning.
NOTES: This thing is the first fanmix I've put together in years and was born of my ability to fit a Rilo Kiley song to any situation. Seriously, nearly half of this mix is Jenny Lewis being her awesome self - but really, how could "Science vs. Romance" not be a Sheldon/Penny song? Schmoopy sappy indulgent fluff with an overabundance of science references ahead.

Gravity is not responsible for falling in love.

o1. Plane Crash in C [ Rilo Kiley ]

I have no idea what's been going on lately,
And I just wish you'd come over and explain things.

o2. My Hands Are Shaking [ Sondre Lerche ]

Penny was supposed to fall in love with Leonard; Sheldon wasn't supposed to fall in love at all.

My hands are shakin'
From carrying this torch,
From carrying this torch for you.

o3. Handle with Care [ Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins ]

Penny's weathered her fair share of bad relationships. Sheldon's a little fragile himself, if for different reasons.

I'm so tired of being lonely,
I still have some love to give;
Won't you show me that you really care?

o4. Drive You Home [ Garbage ]

Love is never easy, especially between two such radically different people - but Penny doesn't mind driving Sheldon home from the comic book store, if that's what it takes.

I never said I was perfect,
But I can drive you home.

o5. Supermassive Black Hole [ Muse ]

I thought I was a fool for no one,
Oh, baby, I'm a fool for you;
You're the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth?

o6. The Scientist [ Coldplay ]

One of the hardest things Sheldon has to learn is how to swallow his pride and apologize.

Nobody said it was easy,
It's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be this hard.

o7. Fear of Flying [ Picture House ]

So I'll wait
Till the fire stops,
Wait till the pressure drops,
Over your fear of flying.

o8. Science vs. Romance [ Rilo Kiley ]

Text versus romance;
You go and add it all you want,
Still we're not robots inside a grid.
