We could light a bunch of candles And dance around the kitchen, baby Pictures of when we were young would hang on the wall We would sit on the stoop I'll sing love songs to you when we're eighty See, I finally got you now, honey, I won't let you fall Look in my eyes, they will tell you the truth The girl in my story has always been you I'd go down with the Titanic, it's true, for you, lover

after he moved to his office, wilbur couldn't just bust out his guitar whenever he wanted. so whenever his chat saw his guitar in his streams now, they knew it meant something.

"softboy release?" he chuckled as he read out a message. "no, sorry, chat, this is something else." he fiddled with the tuning pegs, strumming absentmindedly as he tried to make sure it sounded right.

he was nervous about this. he knew that his chat would lap up whatever content he fed them, but he was more worried about the implications behind the song.

he finally got the guitar in tune, and he started rambling before he could stop, knee bobbing up and down with nerves. "so, chat. this is a bit of a special song, and it's a bit different than usual. i'm only sharing a bit, but i promise you'll hear the whole thing. i wrote it… i wrote it with my girlfriend,"

he watched as chat whizzed by, trying his best to read it. a lot of people were asking if it was one of his ex girlfriends, so he spoke up again. "she and i have been dating for a few years now. we never really cared much about telling people, it just like wasn't something important to us. of course, i love you guys, but you're all aware that i'm a pretty private guy. i'm a secretive man," he cracked a grin, trying to keep his tone light despite his growing anxiety. so far, all the comments he'd seen were super supportive. "but, we wrote this together, and our vibe was- we were going for a 70s wedding reception, and i think we really managed to capture it. i'm only sharing a bit, so i hope you enjoy."

he adjusted his mic, and began strumming. "we could light a bunch of candles, and dance around the kitchen, baby. pictures of when we were young would hang on the walls. we'll sit on the stoop, i'll sing love songs to you when we're eighty. i've finally got you now, honey. i won't let you fall."

he finally looked up at chat, subtly changing the chords he was playing as he spoke. "uh, so that was one of the verses, and here's part of the bridge,"

chat was freaking out as much as he'd expected, but a majority of them seemed to love the song. it wasn't like his other songs, wry sarcasm shining through lines about his misery. this one, everyone could see that it came from a place of pure love. there was nothing funny, or witty about it, because he didn't want to take away from the message of the song: he loved you.

"look in my eyes, they'll tell you the truth. the girl in my story has always been you. i'd go down with the titanic it's true for you, lover," his voice broke a little on the name of the boat, but no one noticed.

your entire timeline was filled with videos of him singing. captions of screaming, talking about how focused he was. his eyes were shining as he looked at the camera. "how are we feeling, chat?"

the stream continued. he spent a lot of it just chatting, but right before he joined a call with phil he got a text from you.

you did so good, i love you <3

weeks passed. wilbur's viewers moved on to the newest memes, started screaming about his newer lore streams. your timeline would be filled with screenshots from tommy's vlogs.

that was, until your song dropped. wilbur's fans didn't notice right away, but you remember the first tweet you ever got.

am i the only one who thinks that lover sounds like that one song wil sang on stream a few weeks ago????

that's how it started, and soon there were pictures of you and wil separately, posted side by side on twitter at the same location. an instagram photo of you wearing sunglasses that he wore a few months later. someone even edited his vocals onto your song's backing track to compare.

it ended with you posting a picture on instagram, with wilbur reposting it on his socials. you were sitting in his streaming chair, beside the neon sign of his name.

your hands were framing the sign, wilbur soot. the caption you both put on the picture was the same; my, my, my, my lover.

Taylor Swift songs (and their lyrics) that remind me of my ships

this is just my opinion:))

bellamy/clarke - you are in love

"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"

evangeline/elane - lover (remix)

"we would sit on the stoop i'll sing love songs to you when we're eighty see, I finally got you now, honey, i won't let you fall"

fallon/liam - peace

"but there's robbers to the east, clowns to the west i'd give you my sunshine, give you my best but the rain is always gonna come if you're standing with me"

harry/hermione - fearless (taylor's version)

"and I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress, fearless"

james/lily - how you get the girl

"remind me how it used to be pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks and say you want me"

mare/cal - dancing with our hands tied

"people started talking, putting us through our paces i knew there was no one in the world who could take it i had a bad feeling"

zuko/katara - daylight

"luck of the draw only draws the unlucky and so I became the butt of the joke i wounded the good and i trusted the wicked"

-REMIX:

“We could light a bunch of candles

And dance around the kitchen, baby

Pictures of when we were young would hang on the wall

We would sit on the stoop

I'll sing love songs to you when we're eighty

See, I finally got you now, honey, I won't let you fall

Look in my eyes, they will tell you the truth

The girl in my story has always been you

I'd go down with the Titanic, it's true, for you, lover”

[fallininyou]

I still can’t believe these lyrics exist “We could light a bunch of candles and dance around the kitchen, baby. Pictures of when we were young would hang on the wall. We would sit on the stoop, I'll sing love songs to you when we're eighty. See, I finally got you now, honey, I won't let you fall” it’s so freaking sweeeeeet 😩

[omg-just-peachy]

Are you a fan of the lover remix? I’m not really a fan of Shawn Mendes, no disrespect.

I actually love it! I’m not usually a Shawn Mendes fan myself, but their voices sound SO good together I’m not okay! Also this part specifically makes me 😭🥰:

Pictures of when we were young would hang on the wall

We would sit on the stoop

I'll sing love songs to you when we're eighty

See, I finally got you now, honey, I won't let you fall

Ahhh it’s just SWEET!
