Spike sat on his cot in the basement just thinking. He knew he didn't deserve everything that Buffy did for him, because let's say it he hadn't treated her all to great before he got his soul. He hurt her and expected her to love him, gosh was he stupid. He just wanted to kick himself, but of course he knew that if he did he'd get a lecture from Buffy and he didn't know if he could handle that. After what seemed like hours, although it was only half of one, he decided he'd turn on the handheld radio Buffy had let him use when things were getting to noisy upstairs and he needed something to help calm him. When he turned it on country music poured from it and Spike's first instinct was to change it, but then he heard the song.

Every now and then I get a little lost
My strings all get tangled, my wires all get crossed
Every now and then I'm right up on the edge
Dangling my toes out over the ledge
I just thank God you're here

'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
'Cause when I'm a firecracker comin' undone
Or when I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me

It's hard lovin' a man that's got a gypsy soul
I don't know how you do it, I'm not sure how you know
The perfect thing to say to save me from myself
You're the angel that moves me like nobody else
And I thank God you do

'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me

I know I don't tell you nearly enough
That I couldn't live one day without your love

When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves
Up on a highwire that's ready to break
When I've had just about all I can take
Baby you, baby you save me

When I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me

He turned the radio off after the song ended. It described his life or unlife at the moment. Buffy was always there, ever since he got back she was there for him. She saved him from the First and was just there. Spike sat there and just let the tears that had been threatening to flow, flow. He curled up on the cot and just cried himself to sleep, just thanking God for letting Buffy be there when he needed her most.
