jolex as taylor swift lyrics
as usual we can blame @odd-birds-and-booksellers @angry-slytherin and @freshcopapricotdream for inspiring this. sorry not sorry.
after our back and forth jolex playlist that just turned into us exchanging taylor swift songs, i decided to go through some of her songs and pick out lyrics that made me think of jo and alex. at first it was all angst BUT i decided to be nice to the fandom today and do angst AND fluff so you’re welcome.
angsty
And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low you cant feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
- forever & always
So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are
- last kiss
This is the last time I'm asking you this
Put my name at the top of your list
This is the last time I'm asking you why
You break my heart in the blink of an eye
- the last time
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts
- death by a thousand cuts
Hey, you call me up again just to break me like a promise
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
'Cause I remember it all, all, all too well
- all too well
I bet you think I either moved on or hate you
'Cause each time you reach out there's no reply
I bet it never ever occurred to you
That I can't say "Hello" to you
And risk another goodbye
- i almost do
And I hope the sun shines
And it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you
You wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in weather and time
But I never planned on you changing your mind
- last kiss
Could've loved you all my life
If you hadn't left me waiting in the cold
And you got your share of secrets
And I'm tired of being last to know
- you’re not sorry
I wish you would come back
Wish I'd never hung up the phone like I did
I wish you knew that
I'd never forget you as long as I'd live
- i wish you would
Hey, all you had to do was stay
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in
Stay, hey, now you say you want it
Back now that it's just too late
Well could've been easy
All you had to do was stay
- all you had to do was stay
And what once was ours
Is no one's now
I see you everywhere, the only thing we share
Is this small town
You said it was a great love
One for the ages
But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?
- death by a thousand cuts
Taxi cabs and busy streets
That never bring you back to me
I can't help but wish you took me with you
- come back, be here
Please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
- new year’s day
sweet
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks, like passing notes in secrecy
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you
- enchanted
And all my walls
Stood tall painted blue
But I'll take 'em down and open up the door for you
- everything has changed
He keeps his word
And for once you let go
Of your fears and your ghosts
One step, not much, but it said enough
You kissed on sidewalks
You fight and you talk
One night he wakes, strange look on his face
Pauses, then says, you're my best friend
And you knew what it was, he is in love
- you are in love
And it's not theirs to speculate,
If it's wrong and,
Your hands are tough but they are where,
Mine belong in,
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you.
- ours
Flash forward, and we're takin' on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
- mine
My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
All's well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover
-lover
Don't read the last page
But I stay when it's hard or it's wrong or we're making mistakes
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day
- new year’s day
I want you for worse or for better
I would wait for ever and ever
Broke your heart, I'll put it back together
I would wait for ever and ever
- how you get the girl
My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me
We can't make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
- delicate
Breakin' down and comin' undone
It's a roller-coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
- the way i loved you
You took the time to memorize me
My fears, my hopes and dreams
I just like hanging out with you
All the time
All those times that you didn't leave
It's been occurring to me
I'd like to hang out with you
For my whole life
- stay stay stay
I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
That’s right, you're the one I want
I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
Darling, you're the one I want
- paper rings
You come around and the armor falls
Pierce the room like a cannon ball
Now all we know
Is don't let go
- state of grace
