Theme Songs

Anthem - Alana Yorke
"We've been growing up" They are still in this world but not living the same And we'll hold to our dreams we won't give them away We'll just try and we'll try and we'll try and we'll try and again We'll just keep on singing"  "Cause all that we want is to love along the way" "And oh, if you ask me I can tell you Keep trying We will break through You know we will break through"  "Cause all that we want is to give our love away There are times in this life we are willing to change We will ask for the world, we will ask for the world And we'll try and we'll try and we'll try and again We'll just keep on singing" This song describes Carson's desires and motivations.

"And how many friends have we lost along the way? / They are still in this world but not living the same"   A reference to the friends they've actually lost (Carson and Josh) but also a loss of innocence or personhood, due to an event that caused a dramatic change in personality/worldview, e.g. Sasha's drug addiction, Carson's diagnosis, Ethan's childhood bullying, Mia's anxiety, Blair's parents separation, Lizzie's loss of her parents

Letters to God, Part II
"And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die I found out the truth is it's all a big lie I find that the words are hard to describe I tell you I'm lost here, awaiting reply" "All the phones have rung and rung Theyre off the hook, all but one And all the mail stacked up inside Up from the floor, a mile high" From Carson's POV. Carson is reminiscing over the events in her life as well as the events in the lives of the people she cares about, questioning why such traumatic events happen. She comes to grips with the fact that awful things happen for no reason.

Switchfoot - "All I Need"
"i was thinking about a poly cuddle when i heard this song honestly this is basically Carson's love song to both Sasha and Lizzie asking for both of them to trust that her feelings are genuine for them" -Cas, 2019/07/24
