1. “Crush”- Jennifer Paige
I see ya blowin' me a kiss
It doesn't take a scientist
To understand what's going on baby
If you see something in my eye
Let's not over analyze
Don't go too deep with it baby
So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do
I'll play loose
Run like we have a day with destiny

Lois likes Oliver, but she’s trying not to get too serious with him. When he tried to kiss her in ‘Wither’, she makes him work for it.

2. “Ache”- James Carrington
Isn't it strange, the way things can change
The life that you lead, turned on it's head
suddenly someone, means more than you felt before
house and its yard, turns into home.

Oliver is instantly attracted to Lois when she opened the door, but as their relationship continues, he finds himself feelings things he has never felt before.

3. “Trouble Me”- Natalie Merchant
Trouble me, disturb me with all your cares and you worries.
Trouble me on the days when you feel spent.
Why let your shoulders bend underneath this burden when my back is sturdy and strong?
Trouble me.

Lois wants Oliver to be able to open up to her, because she cares about him, whether it’s about his past at Excelsior or anything else.

4. “Wherever You Will Go”- The Calling
So lately, I've been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face

Oliver knows that he won’t be staying in Metropolis forever and what he has with Lois probably won’t last after he’s gone.

5. “What You’re Made Of”- Lucie Silvas
If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You were willing but unable to give me anymore
There's no way you're changing,
Cause some things will just never be mine

During ‘Justice’, Lois realizes that Ollie will always put work first, and has to break-up with him. She tried her best, but now she has to walk away.

6. “Let Me Go”- 3 Doors Down
One more kiss could be the best thing
Or one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And you’re not something I deserve
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me
And you love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go, let me go

Oliver does love Lois, but she doesn’t know everything about him and his double life. Nor does he feel he can ever tell her. That’s why he lets her walk away.

7. “So Close”- Jon McLaughlin
A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close
So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close

When Oliver comes back, he and Lois end up kissing, but she finds out his secret as Green Arrow. He’s relieved that she is not angry later on and wants a second chance, believing they can make it work. But it turns out that she doesn’t feel she can handle his double life and leaves anyway.

8. “Already Gone”- Kelly Clarkson
I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

Lois wants to give Ollie a second chance because she hasn’t been able to get over him, but she knows that eventually, they’ll end up breaking up so instead of fading out then, she decided to walk away in ‘Siren’.

9 “Someday We’ll Know”- Mandy Moore & Jonathan Foreman (Switchfoot)
Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain...
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue...
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you...

Oliver and Lois did love each other, but they just never were able to make it work, and sometimes, they wonder why.

10. “Stolen”- Jay Sean
You were my eyes when I couldn't see,
you were my air when I couldn't breathe,
but you always knew what you meant to me,
You were my strength when I was down,
and you made me humble when I wouldn't bow

Ollie was going on a downward spiral, but in season 9, Lois was there for him and made sure he knew that she always would be.

11. “White Flag”- Dido
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?

Oliver realizes that he still loves Lois, and tells her, even though he knows it wouldn’t help their friendship. But he can’t help the way he feels and knows he needs to at least try.

12. “Breakeven”- The Script
Her best days will be some of my worst,
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first,
While I'm wide awake, she's no trouble sleeping,
'Coz when a heart breaks
no it don't break even, even no.

Unfortunately for Ollie, by the time he got his act together and professes his feelings, Lois has moved on to another- Clark, who was always there for her even when he wasn’t.

13. “Heart of the Matter”- India.Arie (cover)
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And all the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?
I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

Ollie has to work through his feelings and even though Lois doesn’t love him like the way he wants her to anymore, he just has to deal with it, because he does care about both Lois and Clark, and wants them to be happy.

14. “What Hurts the Most”- Rascal Flatts
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do

Ollie and Lois almost had it, but unfortunately, they were meant for other people. Lois had her regrets in s8 and Ollie in s9, but they just never had the perfect timing. But a part of their hearts will always belong to each other.

I've been meaning to comment on this for ages, but I've just been lacking in time to unzip and import the music, haha. But now I have, and I really like some of your choices. Especially Crush, gosh, such a nostalgic song for me (one of the first pop songs I fell in love with via the radio as a pre-teen) and so perfect for early Lois/Oliver. Super excited to see you getting into fanmixing, do let me know if there's anything I can help out with! ;)
