The question is which song is queerer to you! Queerer can mean whatever you want it to mean; you might consider a song queer because you think it was written that way, or because of Swiftian lore. It might be queer to you because of how you relate it to your own life. Maybe you think from a purely literary standpoint the lyrics have queer themes; maybe you're just thinking about vibes.

Call It What You Want lyrics

My castle crumbled overnight

I brought a knife to a gunfight

They took the crown but it's alright

All the liars are calling me one

Nobody's heard from me for months

I'm doing better than I ever was

'Cause

My baby's fit like a daydream

Walking with his head down

I'm the one he's walking to

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

My baby's fly like a jet stream

High above the whole scene

Loves me like I'm brand new

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

All my flowers grew back as thorns

Windows boarded up after the storm

He built a fire just to keep me warm

All the drama queens taking swings

All the jokers dressing up as kings

They fade to nothing when I look at him

And I know I make the same mistakes every time

Bridges burn, I never learn

At least I did one thing right

I did one thing right

I'm laughing with my lover

Making forts under covers

Trust him like a brother

Yeah, you know I did one thing right

Starry eyes sparking up my darkest night

My baby's fit like a daydream

Walking with his head down

I'm the one he's walking to

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

My baby's fly like a jet stream

High above the whole scene

Loves me like I'm brand new

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

I want to wear his initial on a chain 'round my neck

Chain 'round my neck

Not because he owns me

But 'cause he really knows me

Which is more than they can say, I

I recall late November, holding my breath

Slowly I said, "You don't need to save me

But would you run away with me?"

Yes (would you run away?)

My baby's fit like a daydream

Walking with his head down

I'm the one he's walking to

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

My baby's fly like a jet stream

High above the whole scene

Loves me like I'm brand new

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

(Call it what you want, call it)

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

Call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want

This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things lyrics

It was so nice throwing big parties

Jump into the pool from the balcony

Everyone swimming in a champagne sea

And there are no rules when you show up here

Bass beat rattling the chandelier

Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year

So why'd you have to rain on my parade?

I'm shaking my head and locking the gates

This is why we can't have nice things, darling

Because you break them

I had to take them away

This is why we can't have nice things, honey (Oh)

Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?

This is why we can't have nice things

It was so nice being friends again

There I was, giving you a second chance

But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand

And therein lies the issue

Friends don't try to trick you

Get you on the phone and mind-twist you

And so I took an axe to a mended fence

But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately (Mm-mm)

If only you weren't so shady

This is why we can't have nice things, darling (Yeah)

Because you break them

I had to take them away

This is why we can't have nice (Nice things) things (Baby), honey

Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?

This is why we can't have

Here's a toast to my real friends

They don't care about the he-said, she-said

And here's to my baby

He ain't reading what they call me lately

And here's to my mama

Had to listen to all this drama

And here's to you

'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do

Haha, I can't even say it with a straight face

This is why we can't have nice things, darling (Darling)

Because you break them

I had to take them away

This is why we can't have nice (Uh-uh) things (Oh no), honey (Baby, oh)

Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?

This is why we can't have nice things, darling

(And here's to my real friends)

Because you break them

I had to take them

(And here's to my baby)

Nice things, honey

(They didn't care about that he-said, she-said)

Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?

This is why we can't have nice things

[centralperkchenford]

Chenford + Chris comments that the only reason Tim and Lucy ever got together was because of their doppelganger.

Bonus points! He insinuates Tim would never be attracted to her.

Sorry I'm painting Chris horrible

I never liked Chris so you are all good!

Chenford + Chris comments that the only reason Tim and Lucy ever got together was because of their doppelganger.

Bonus points! He insinuates Tim would never be attracted to her.

Chenford + I’m not your type (she’s not your type)

you know I did one thing right starry eyes sparking up my darkest night

Tim normally loves having his own office, its private and he can shut the door. Everyone usually knocks save for Lucy who he usually knows is coming or Angela who is well Angela. He doesn’t usually get a lot of people coming in and out but it happens.

So when there is a knock on his door while he’s doing paperwork he doesn’t think twice he calls out come in absently and goes back to doing the day’s paperwork. The door opens and he looks up briefly and then stares because it’s the last person he ever thought would be at his office door.

Chris Sanford

He has to admit he really doesn’t know what went down between him and Lucy the night she broke up with him and then came back to the station so Tim could ask her out. And he really doesn’t care because he’s happier than he’s ever been with Lucy, and he doesn’t need an ex overshadowing that.

“Uh hi?” Says Tim furrowing his brows at the shorter man. Chris is frowning at him and standing in front of him with his arms crossed his chest.

“Cut the bullshit Bradford.” Chris snaps. “I know the only reason you and Lucy got together was because of your doppelgängers.” Tim’s mouth fell open. He knew Chris was bitter, he had heard it from Wesley but he didn’t know he was this bitter.

“What are you talking about?” Tim asks calmly.

Chris stares at him before he answers. “I saw the documentary. I know you and Lucy are dating. And I know the only reason you are is because of Jake and Sava or whatever the hell you called them.” Chris snaps at him again. Tim is starting to get pissed because Chris has no idea how he and Lucy got together. He has no idea that their feelings started way before the UC op.

“You don’t know what you are talking about Sanford. Lucy and I didn’t get together just because of two people who look like us. We got together because we wanted to. We have feelings for each other and we acted it on it.”

Chris’s face does something funny as he stares at Tim some more. “Oh yeah? So Lucy didn’t cheat on me?”

“Do you think Lucy cheated on you?” Tim asks sharply. Chris thinks about it for a minute and then shakes his head. “No.”

“Well you are right. She didn’t. Nothing happened between us until after she broke up with you.” Tim says. “Have some damn respect.”

Chris frowns at Tim’s words but before he could reply Lucy comes bouncing into the office. “Hi babe— oh.” She says when she sees Chris, her smile instantly falling.

“Hi Chris.” She says and she stands awkwardly in the doorway. Chris all but ignores her and then turns back to Tim.

“She’s not your type.” Chris says. Tim’s eyes go to Lucy’s face which remains passive but he knows her well enough that she’s trying not to lose it.

“You are an ass.” Says Tim. “You have no idea what my type is. I’m not sure why you thought it was okay to burst in here and start making assumptions about my relationship with Lucy.”

“You aren’t attracted to her.” Chris says bravely ignoring Tim’s last statement. “You are attracted to the idea of her. You want someone good and fun and smart so you went for my girlfriend.”

Tim let’s out a loud breath trying to calm himself before he speaks again. But Lucy beats him to it. She comes further into the office and stands next to Tim so she can face Chris. When she speaks her voice is steady and calm.

“You don’t know what you are talking about Chris. You have no idea what Tim and I have gone through together. And starting to date was no easy task, it was a risk and we were both willing to take it. I know what Tim feels for me is real. I know he doesn’t just like the idea of me I know he likes me. I am with Tim so I would know. You aren’t on the inside of our relationship and you never will be.” She says breathlessly. Tim looks at her proudly.

Chris glares at her no doubt angry about her answer. “It doesn’t erase the fact that you—” He starts but Lucy cuts him.

“That I what? Broke up with you? Didn’t want to buy a house with you?” She snaps at him.

He opens his mouth to reply but then shuts it. “You need to move on Chris.” Lucy tells him gently. “I’m not the one you are suppose to be with. But I’ m sure you will find the right one someday. It’s just not me.”

Tim wraps himself around Lucy kissing her on top of the head. Chris looks between them and the spins on his heels and stomps out.

There is silence for a few minutes before Tim speaks again. “He’s wrong you know. You are my type.”

“I know Tim.” She says quietly.

“And I’m not with you because of Jake and Sava.” He says. Lucy turns in his arms so she can look up at him.

“I know that too Tim.” She says smiling at him. “Believe me.” Tim takes a shuddering breath.

“I love you.” He says and her eyes widen. He thinks she knows that too they just have never said it before.

“Well that is new information.” She says trying to joke but her voice hitching a bit.

“Well it’s true. I do. I love you and you don’t have to say it back but—”

“I love you too Tim.” She says in one breath and he grins.

“Well that’s just perfect huh?” He asks mischievously.

“Yeah.” She says grinning up at him and giving him a quick kiss. “Yeah it is.”

Ominis x MC x Sebastian post game Summer of 1892 fic. Theme: Call It What You Want by Taylor Swift.

All my flowers grew back as thorns Windows boarded up after the storm He built a fire just to keep me warm *

Slowly I said, "You don't need to save me But would you run away with me?"

Fig's left his estate to the MC and since Feldcroft isn't home anymore, the three of them go there for two months.

They feel broken, but with two months of freedom, they plan to rebuild. To find themselves again, and to find each other. Because they agreed that whatever they do, they do it together. But they're jagged edges and nightmares and tears and feeling like Ominis and each other should hate them and none of them hate each other(loves me like I'm brand new). And one day the three of them are out in the garden and it just feels like rebirth.

And they're together. Stronger together. Because they went underground for summer and focused on what mattered: Themselves. (Nobody's heard from me for months/I'm doing better than I ever was). And after that afternoon in the garden, they spend every moment together. Reestablishing their bond, making new ones. (I'm laughing with my lover/making forts under covers/trust him like a brother/you know I did one thing right/starry eyes sparking up my darkest nights and I want to wear his initial on a chain round my neck/not because he owns me/but because he knows me/which is more than they can say)

No one but Deek hears from them that summer. The muggle villagers see them, though. They wonder about the three teens, seemingly living together unrelated(As my MC was female, it would be very scandalizing), going into town for food, but never talking to anyone other than when completely necessary(My baby's fit like a daydream walking with his head down/I'm the one he's walking to). And they don't care about muggles but they don't care what they're saying when this summer is just for them.

And when they go back to school, they feel more content than they've ever been. They're now a package deal. And they've never been happier.

i really really really hate this. like not to be parasocial or whatever but I Hate This 💜

I look at Joe, Mr. Starry Eyes Sparking Up My Darkest Night, Mr. Fit Like A Daydream, Mr. Hands Around A Cold Glass…. And then I look at Mr. Eats Raw Meat Onstage And Looks Like Kevin Jonas After Not Brushing His Teeth For 10 Years And Getting Hit In The Head With A Frying Pan… and I JUST.

Lee Kitae: A Playlist

Second Hand Love - Cassadee Pope

"My heart has no pride standing here Good thing I can take the tears Sew you up as I'm tearing at the seams It's so good yeah while it lasts Go ahead and strike the match Burn me down make ashes out of me I breathe you in, breathe you in, like my first cigarette Breathe you out, breathe you out, turning off the regret Don't worry baby cause it's all my fault I'll take the parts that she doesn't want Breathe you in, breathe you in, take the spark with the smoke Breathe you out, breathe you out, feel the rush as I choke I know it's worth it baby even if it's just secondhand, secondhand love"

Paper Rings - Taylor Swift

"In the winter, in the icy outdoor pool When you jumped in first, I went in too I'm with you even if it makes me blue Which takes me back To the color that we painted your brother's wall Honey, without all the exes, fights, and flaws We wouldn't be standing here so tall, so Kiss you once 'cause I know you had a long night Kiss you twice 'cause it's gonna be alright Three times 'cause you waited your whole life I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings"

Cruel Summer - Taylor Swift

"So cut the headlights, summer's a knife I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know I'm drunk in the back of the car And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh) Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you And I snuck in through the garden gate Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh) And I screamed for whatever it's worth "I love you, " ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"

Violet Chemistry - Miley Cyrus

"Stay awhile, stay awhile with me Stay awhile, don't deny the violet chemistry Stay awhile, stay awhile with me Stay awhile, put your arms around me Put them around me Fingers start to dance along the figures and the shapes Mixing all the colors like we're making a Monet There's something between us that's too major to ignore May not be eternal but nocturnal nothing more"

All Too Well (10 Minute Version) - Taylor Swift

"They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new Hell Every time you double-cross my mind You said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine And that made me want to die The idea you had of me, who was she? A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you Not weeping in a party bathroom Some actress asking me what happened, you That's what happened, you You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes Sipping coffee like you're on a late-night show But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one""

Mamacita - Chase Atlantic

"Kind face with a cruel heart She can do it better than a pornstar She don’t carry no more xan bars She can work that product on her lonesome Look her in the eyes and go insane She been kicking shit, get out the fucking way She can take away all of the pain MAMACITA there is nothing left to say"

Call it What You Want To - Taylor Swift

"And I know I make the same mistakes every time Bridges burn, I never learn, at least I did one thing right I did one thing right I'm laughin' with my lover, makin' forts under covers Trust him like a brother, yeah, you know I did one thing right Starry eyes sparkin' up my darkest night My baby's fit like a daydream Walkin' with his head down, I'm the one he's walkin' to So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to"

constellations in his eyes 🤝 Starry eyes sparking up my darkest night

Suggesting, well, that there’s a link between High Infidelity and CIWYW 👀

Could be, you know there’s different interpretations of this line. This Is What You Came For was released on April 29th, we all know lighting strikes every time she moves. And then there’s the April 29, 2012 interpretation, in which case I don’t think “starry eyes sparking up my darkest night” is about the same person.

It’s kind of like her saying do I have to give you the coordinates of the sky? You know I was with her. Whatever her you choose to believe she’s speaking about✨

Poignant Lyrics: The Enchantress, Taylor Swift — Reputation Album

This series shall contain my personal preferences relating to lyrics. I’ll start with those of one of my contemporary muses, the legendary Tay-tay, and I’m selecting the Reputation album, for it is my favorite of hers and reminds me of my own metamorphosis phase. In sync with the drama-ousting and the effervescent darkness of overflowing love, here is the result of our mutual skin-shedding.

1# ...Ready For It?

“And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor Every love I've known in comparison is a failure”

2# End Game

“Reputation precedes me; they told you I'm crazy I swear I don't love the drama, it loves me And I can't let you go, your hand prints on my soul It's like your eyes are liquor, it's like your body is gold You've been calling my bluff on all my usual tricks So here's the truth from my red lips.”

3# I Did Something Bad

“I can feel the flames on my skin He says, "Don't throw away a good thing." But if he drops my name Then I owe him nothing.”

4# Don't Blame Me

(Almost quoting the entirety of it. By far, my favorite Rep’ track)

“Don't blame me Love made me crazy If it doesn't, you ain't doing it right Oh, Lord, save me My drug is my baby I'll be using for the rest of my life

My name is whatever you decide And I'm just gonna call you mine I'm insane, but I'm your baby (your baby) Echoes (echoes) of your name inside my mind Halo, hiding my obsession I once was poison ivy, but now I'm your daisy 

And, baby, for you I would fall from grace Just to touch your face If you walk away I'd beg you on my knees to stay”

5# Delicate

“Long night, with your hands up in my hair Echoes of your footsteps on the stairs Stay here, honey, I don't wanna share.”

6# Look What You Made Me Do

“The world moves on,  another day, another drama.”

7# So It Goes...

“See you in the dark All eyes on you, my magician All eyes on us You make everyone disappear, and Cut me into pieces Gold cage, hostage to my feelings Back against the wall”

8# Gorgeous

“And you should think about the consequence Of you touching my hand in a darkened room”

9# Getaway Car

“It was the great escape, the prison break The light of freedom on my face”

10# King Of My Heart

“The taste of your lips is my idea of luxury”

11# Dancing With Our Hands Tied

“I'm a mess, but I'm the mess that you wanted Oh, 'cause it's gravity Oh, keeping you with me”

12# Dress

“Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo”

“Inescapable, I'm not even gonna try And if I get burned, at least we were electrified”

“Even in my worst times, you could see the best in me Flashback to my mistakes My rebounds, my earthquakes Even in my worst lies, you saw the truth in me And I woke up just in time Now I wake up by your side My one and only, my lifeline”

#14 Call It What You Want

“Starry eyes sparking up my darkest night”

15# New Year's Day

“I want your midnights”

[mooosicaldreamz]

Hello! I just read your track by track of Lover and really enjoyed it - did you do one for Rep? I’d love to read it!

i’m sure i have before but i will again for FUN. 

since i’ve had years now to listen and dissect reputation i’d like to give my overall opinion that this is a concept album about fame that, in the process of its production, became about something very real which i think is why the album has a bit of a sea change from song to song sometimes. anyway

ready for it: this song is a fuckin bomb, can’t wait for her to sing it at the super bowl let’s go taylor let’s go. it reminds me unequivocally of college football bc the first time i heard it was for that and i cried. let’s fucking GO IRISH

endgame: this song bores me. it has a rapper, which is like, what? and ed sheeran which is like……fine. this is what i mean when i say this album is a concept bc this song does not scream taylor swift in the way that i think 1989 before this (a poppy step for a country princess) and lover after this (a country princess realizes she can be whatever she wants to be and not give a shit) are more centrally her creations. which is not to say that these songs are coming from deeply inauthentic places - i think it’s likely that htey are still more authentic than most other pop outfits - but this song is sort of a nothing even when it’s trying to say something

i did something bad: i have never had very deep feelings for this song. but that reeee duh dud duh duh noise is the best and such a fascinating bit of production. what happened sonically on this album, despite the fact that i think it was an intentional and maybe too-far step outside of taylor’s ouevre, is fascinating. she’s so dark. i’m not even sure you realize how dark she is until you compare it directly to lover. 1989 clearly starts to pick up the grey feeling of this album but it isn’t overwhelming. anyway. this album is so interesting

don’t blame me: like i said earlier, this song started out as a concept and this song is a continuation on that theme. for the most part, most of the rest of the album becomes at least one measure more authentic. this song, btw, is so dramatic. the beat drops on some of these are bomb. i love this song on the rep tour video “my name is whatever you decide” just a messy bitch. god

delicate: this song is a crown jewel and i think any pop artist or singer songwriter would kill for this song to be theirs, genuinely. imagine stevie nicks singing this song in 1970. it’s a BEAST, because it’s authentic in a way that the songs preceding it and most of the songs after it are not. i love the beat dropping away on the break down “is it cool that i said all that?” it’s so gentle. i think you can put a lot of sound in a song and not say anything in the end, but if you control yourself and produce something that’s lyrically and sonically compact, you can write a song that hits people where it hurts. “he must like me for me / can’t make any promises now can we babe? / but you can make me a drink” GOD this song is a bomb

look what you made me do: i’m often surprised that this song is not the like, second song on this album, but it’s a mean song. if you watch the music video of this (which i do, constantly, because i love it), she’s so mean in it. she plays a villain in this song that i don’t think she’s really content with. “all i think about is karma / and then the world moves on but one thing’s for sure / maybe you got mine, but you’ll all get yours” is so vindictive and so…….sad. 

…so it goes: this is the outro song on the rep tour video and i think it’s hitting on the same chord delicate hits without digging as deep. i think this song has grown on me a lot. but it’s kind of boring.

gorgeous: i love the lyrics of this song. the first line is a bomb, and the noises of it are so fun and light, and i think this song is one of the combo breakers on this album, like - taylor wanted to make an album about being so famous that you want to just hide away and be alone and feeling so scared that you just have to be loud, and the album suddenly became. not about that. it’s a journey. “you should think about the consequences of you touching my hand in a dark room”

getaway car: rip calvin harris 

king of my heart: this is the best performance of the rep tour movie and it is the thesis of the album it has the wings of fresh love “you try on calling me baby like trying on clothes” my god she should get a poet laureate for that one and it’s sonically big but has this heart that’s so apparent and bold and that synthy voice work on the bridge is such a good palette cleanser before the break to the drums THE DRUMS are the best part of this song. it’s so propulsive and it carries you so well. “your love is a secret that i’m hoping, dreaming, dying to keep” ugh shut UP. 

dancing with our hands tied: i always thought this song was about karlie kloss and i think it ties a direct line to like, out of the woods. i think those two songs could be pure sequels. i love the big wall of sound on the chorus and the urgency of the verses leading up to that. the minor quality of the tone, too, really makes you feel the dread. “i kissed you as the lights went out / swaying as the room burned down”

dress: this song……..takes me to the shed and kicks my fucking ass. i’ve spent a lot of time thinking of reputation as the soundtrack to stn which i’m sure you’re all tired of me talking about, but this song…………….my god. every inch of it is so different. i’d think it was one of the last ones produced if i had to guess “i’m spilling wine in the bathrub / you kiss my face and we’re both drunk” ugh god. it betrays so much feeling in a dreamy vocal quality and sound - the key repetition on the choral break is just blah BLAH i could cry. “flashback when you met me / buzzcut and my hair bleached.” this song is real in a way that some of these songs don’t have specifics - this one sits in the center of your stomach bc you know it’s real.

this is why we can’t have nice things: in a former life i worked for years at a retail store and i don’t anymore which is why i’m hardly ever here bc i work a real job that exhausts me all the time and the taylor swift reputation album played often and this song grated me and it still does. on the rep tour movie it’s very fun! and i enjoy it! but it feels petty.

call it what you want: this song is very related to king of my heart and so it goes in my mind. but it has connections into lover as well that. “starry eyes sparking up my darkest night” it makes me SO HAPPY that taylor was clearly, towards the end of the 1989 production and then into tour in a bad place and then in a worse place when she started this album and accidentally fell in love and started to feel a precious happiness that i think is all over lover. GOD I M SO HAPPY

new year’s day: this song fucks me up hardcore it’s a stn beast boy and if we could rename the fic i think this song might make a hardcore run to get the title like “i want your midnights” maybe. this song. is so soft. and so real. the evolution and devolution of sound that happens over this album deserves this culmination

Call It What You Want lyrics

My castle crumbled overnight

I brought a knife to a gunfight

They took the crown but it's alright

All the liars are calling me one

Nobody's heard from me for months

I'm doing better than I ever was

'Cause

My baby's fit like a daydream

Walking with his head down

I'm the one he's walking to

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

My baby's fly like a jet stream

High above the whole scene

Loves me like I'm brand new

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

All my flowers grew back as thorns

Windows boarded up after the storm

He built a fire just to keep me warm

All the drama queens taking swings

All the jokers dressing up as kings

They fade to nothing when I look at him

And I know I make the same mistakes every time

Bridges burn, I never learn

At least I did one thing right

I did one thing right

I'm laughing with my lover

Making forts under covers

Trust him like a brother

Yeah, you know I did one thing right

Starry eyes sparking up my darkest night

My baby's fit like a daydream

Walking with his head down

I'm the one he's walking to

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

My baby's fly like a jet stream

High above the whole scene

Loves me like I'm brand new

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

I want to wear his initial on a chain 'round my neck

Chain 'round my neck

Not because he owns me

But 'cause he really knows me

Which is more than they can say, I

I recall late November, holding my breath

Slowly I said, "You don't need to save me

But would you run away with me?"

Yes (would you run away?)

My baby's fit like a daydream

Walking with his head down

I'm the one he's walking to

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

My baby's fly like a jet stream

High above the whole scene

Loves me like I'm brand new

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

So call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want to

(Call it what you want, call it)

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

Call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want

Dress lyrics

Our secret moments in a crowded room

They got no idea about me and you

There is an indentation in the shape of you

Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo

All of this silence and patience, pining and anticipation

My hands are shaking from holding back from you

Ha, ah, ah

All of this silence and patience, pining and desperately waiting

My hands are shaking from all this

Ah, ha, ha, ha-ah

Say my name and everything just stops

I don't want you like a best friend

Only bought this dress so you could take it off

Take it oh, ha, ha, ha-ah

Carve your name into my bedpost

'Cause I don't want you like a best friend

Only bought this dress so you could take it off

Take it oh, ha, ha, ha-ah

Inescapable, I'm not even gonna try

And if I get burned, at least we were electrified

I'm spilling wine in the bathtub

You kiss my face and we're both drunk

Everyone thinks that they know us

But they know nothing about—

All of this silence and patience, pining and anticipation

My hands are shaking from holding back from you

Ha, ah, ah

All of this silence and patience, pining and desperately waiting

My hands are shaking from all this

Ah, ha, ha, ha-ah

Say my name and everything just stops

I don't want you like a best friend

Only bought this dress so you could take it off

Take it oh, ha, ha, ha-ah

Carve your name into my bedpost

'Cause I don't want you like a best friend

Only bought this dress so you could take it off

Take it oh, ha, ha

Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah-ah

Only bought this dress so you could take it off

Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah-ah

Only bought this dress so you could take it off

Flashback when you met me

Your buzzcut and my hair bleached

Even in my worst times, you could see the best in me

Flashback to my mistakes

My rebounds, my earthquakes

Even in my worst lies, you saw the truth in me

And I woke up just in time

Now I wake up by your side

My one and only, my lifeline

I woke up just in time

Now I wake up by your side

My hands shake, I can't explain this

Ah, ha, ha, ha-ah

Say my name and everything just stops

I don't want you like a best friend

Only bought this dress so you could take it off

Take it oh, ha, ha, ha-ah

Carve your name into my bedpost

'Cause I don't want you like a best friend

Only bought this dress so you could take it off

Take it oh, ha, ha, ha-ah

There is an indentation in the shape of you

Only bought this dress so you could take it off

You made your mark on me, golden tattoo

Only bought this dress so you could take it off

Chapter 2

“I’m laughing with my lover, building forts under covers, trust him like a brother, yeah you know I did one thing right. Starry eyes sparking up my darkest night.”

 Easy? Nope, not at all. Adrien was having a hard time. He was totally excited to be able to share freely with Mari, knowing she was also Ladybug. What was not so easy…not letting their nicknames slip. Not seeing threats in inoffensive objects from random people. Like that morning. Yeah, that morning was a good example.

10 hours earlier on that same day…

Adrien and Marinette always walked together. Usually he’d let Mari on her work place, and head on to his. They were pretty close. Both friends had circles under their eyes, which usually happened when they had sleepovers. They always stayed up late on their sleepovers. He was yawning a lot, which annoyed him. And Mari couldn’t help but laugh at him.

“You have no resistance to stay up late Kitty!” she’d say every time. He’d nudge her on her side, and try to contain his grin while she bursted in laughter.

Well, I was tired. Trying to blame his lack of sleep was his best defense for what happened that morning. They had just gotten to the tall building in which Marinette taught her fashion students, and worked on her designs.

Knowing she was Ladybug made him more aware, and more cautious about everything surrounding him. His Chat instincts were always analyzing their whereabouts. And he had always felt protective over Mari. And she was like that towards him.

So when they got inside, someone tried to approach Marinette, and the only thing Adrien’s mind processed on its sleepy haze, was the silver glimmer of something. Something coming towards Marinette. Towards his Lady.

“WOW! Be careful Ladyb—little miss, yoouuu…who are you?” Pointing his finger accusingly at the surprised boy who was trying to approach Marintte, Adrien was just about to burst into a pile of humiliation. Wide-eyed, Marinette tried to make sense of what was going on with Adrien, until she saw what caught his attention.

“Adrien, this is my student, Luke. And that, on his hand, is a pen. You’ve seen a pen before, right?”

“Pff, of course I’ve seen a pen before My La- Marinette. What do you take me for?”

“Oooookay then. Just hang in there for a sec. What do you need me to sign Luke?”

Looking back at his fashion teacher, the boy focused on the task at hand.

“Oh, sorry to bother, Miss Dupain-Cheng. I just need your signature to leave early today from the lecture. I’ve got a doctor appointment and I won’t be able to attend, so I need you to sign this please.”

“That’s just fine. I’ll email today’s lesson and your tasks. Remember you need to show me your new designs, ok?”

“Sure thing miss, I’ll bring it to you this Friday.”

“That’s fine. There you go Luke. See you tomorrow.”

“Thanks. Bye Miss Dupain-Cheng, and bye Mr...”

“Agreste.” Marinette replied with a grin. “ This is Adrien Agreste, my childhood friend. Adrien, this is Luke.

Recovering from the ridiculous situation, Adrien mumbled a reply.

“Nice to meet you Luke.” The boy nodded once in greeting, and left through the doors the two friends had just gone through to enter the building.

Marinette turned to look at Adrien properly. She pulled him towards the elevator, pushing the button to her floor.

“Are you okay Kitty?”

“I’m all write Mari. It’s just so difficult to remember to differentiate our nicknames now that I know you’re Ladybug. And it’s also hard to remember that not everybody is a threat, and that we’re not under attack. That was a pen for goodness’ sake!”

“First of all, that pun was awful. Second, yeah, you’ve always been pretty bad at keeping things Kitty, but relax, you’ll get used to it. And finally, I know we’re protective of each other, but you know I’m tough right? So stay calm. If you need anything, you know where to find me. Now go. Otherwise you’ll get late for that press-conference about your new article and you need to get there on time.”

“Right, I forgot about that! Gotta run, see you for lunch Mar!”

Marinette laughed. Adrien would only call her Mar sometimes, but she was pretty fond of the nickname. She parted from him when the elevator reached her floor. Waving him bye, she greeted her students.

Adrien was now in a hurry to get to his work place. As he walked, dodging from other people on the sidewalk, he started to think about his childhood days. About how caring thay had always been toward each other.

Ever since they were kids, Marinette took as her full-time responsibility taking care of Adrien, and making sure that he was happy, and was able to connect and bond with their classmates. He was kind of lost in the beginning, as the boy wasn’t an extrovert such as Mari, but he was getting better at it, little by little beginning to share jokes and puns with a few of his classmates. Things were going fine, and Adrien felt like he could leave the recent pain from his loss behind. The circumstances seemed to be only improving and the little boy felt like maybe, just maybe, he could abandon his walls.

He was too young to understand them, but they were there. Blocking him from the rest of the world, from actually being happy. Marinette was the only one to break them, and actually see him. Adrien felt like his world might be getting its colors for real. When he was with Mari they came back all at once. But he finally felt like it might not be only him depending on Mari’s light. For the first time that year, he felt like he was getting his own light back. Too early though, they found out kids could be cruel.

11 years ago…    

Mari and Adrien were ten years old. It was Mother’s Day at school, and Marinette was trying to cheer her friend up. Pulling him by the hand, she insisted that he tagged along to meet their colleagues. The girl didn’t want her friend to feel lonely. She knew how much he missed his mom.

“Come on Kitty, it’s going to be fun! You know what, I’ll share my Mommy with you! My mommy is your mommy!” The little boy giggled a little, always wondering how his friend could be so positive and caring. Marinette was different from the other children. She didn’t ask him questions he didn’t want to answer, didn’t pry, but was always there to listen to whatever it was he wanted to share with her, whenever he felt like it.

He felt like, perhaps, that day wouldn’t be that bad. Some people just wanted to make sure he was wrong.

“Such a loser! Doesn’t have a mom! What sort of kid doesn’t have a mom? She must have left you behind. Freak! You’re so pathetic!”

Jay. He was two years older, and always teased the kids on Adrien’s and Marinette’s year. The younger boy withered, shoulders slumping, and eyes tearing up. He always tried to contain his tears, trying to be as strong as his father, but it just hurt a lot. It had been only one year since the car accident that killed his parents.

“Why are you so mean Jay? Just leave Adrien and I alone!”  Marinette hated what Jay did, and she knew his words could hurt just like knives. She already felt hurt, vulnerable and insecure. She didn’t want Adrien to feel like that too.

“Oh, so little Adrien can’t speak for himself? He has to be defended by a girl! A baker’s daughter, even worse!” Jay would howl with laughter, and the sound always made the kids want to cover their ears. But Marinette didn’t shy away. She shot the older boy a fiery look, crossing her tiny arms in front of her.

“What’s wrong with being a baker’s daughter?”

“You’re just weak. And you’ll always be weak.” Balling her hands into fists, the short ten year-old was able to shoot a reply, when a just as tiny hand clasped one of her fists, and she turned back to look at her best-friend. Adrien was just about to crumble apart right before her eyes. Her fiery look dissolved into worry. With a last burning stare toward Jay, she took Adrien’s hand, and walked to the other side of the street.

Hearing Jay and the other boy’s laughter made Marinette’s blood boil, but for her best friend’s sake, she just ignored them. Holding her Kitty’s hand tightly, she went straight to their house, and to her balcony.

Setting a plate with a chocolate croissant and a glass of milk, she took her favorite blanket, putting it around Adrien’s shoulders. He let the tears roll freely, the pain evident on his green eyes. Marinette just sat by his side. She couldn’t understand why some people were so mean. Jay seemed to find pleasure in terrorizing and inflicting pain on other children.  Adrien just didn’t deserve any of that. She hated to see him so sad. But she knew that he needed his space. During those moments, being by his side was enough. Sometimes he’d speak. Other times he’s just rest his head on her shoulder, or just hug her until his sobs subsided. And she was always there for him.

Many times since he moved to the Dupain-Cheng’s house, he would wake up in the middle of the night, from dreams in which his family was still whole. When they were all still happy. He loved living with Marinette and her parents, but the vivacity of the dreams always made him wake up feeling like the accident had happened right in that moment. The joy in the dreams seemed real. The pain when we woke up was real.

He would take his pillow and, silently, walk down the hallway to Marinette’s room. He’d open the door just a little bit, check if the coast was clear and lay down on her chaise. She used to talk during her sleep, and surprisingly, it usually soothed the little boy’s heart, which ached for the reality only present on his dreams.

“Kitty…it’s nice…so fluffy…” She would say the craziest stuff, but he didn’t mind. It always lulled him to sleep.

11 years later

He smiled fondly. He’d still do that sometimes. Many of them, he’d be surprised to wake while it was still dark to find Marinette sleeping on the floor, next to the chaise while holding his hand. When she did that, there were no nightmares for the rest of the night.
