not me on the dash for the first time in decades
Below is a collection of lyric starters taken from Taylor Swift’s eighth album ‘folklore’.
The album holds references to: sex, alcohol, blood, depression, warfare, toxic relationships, medical failure, death as well as lines that could be taken as suicidal thoughts and parental abuse — so please be mindful if you are sensitive to these subjects. All lyrics are posted as written on the album, but feel free to change pronouns or words to fit your purposes.
i’m doing good, i’m on some new shit.
i thought I saw you at the bus stop
the greatest films of all time were never made
if you wanted me, you really should’ve showed
we were something, don’t you think so?
if my wishes came true, it would’ve been you
in my defense, i have none for never leaving well enough alone
it would’ve been fun if you would’ve been the one
you know the greatest loves of all time are over now
if one thing had been different would everything be different today?
when you are young, they assume you know nothing
i felt like I was an old cardigan
a friend to all is a friend to none
to kiss in cars and downtown bars was all we needed
you drew stars around my scars but now I’m bleedin'
i knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs
cause i knew everything when I was young
i knew i’d curse you for the longest time
i knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired and you’d be standin’ in my front porch light
i knew you’d come back to me
the wedding was charming, if a little gauche
there goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
who knows, if she never showed up, what could’ve been
she had a marvelous time ruining everything
there goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen
i had a marvelous time ruining everything
i can see you standing, honey, with his arms around your body
it took you five whole minutes to pack us up and leave me with it
you were my town, now I’m in exile
i can see you starin’, honey, like he’s just your understudy
I’m not your problem anymore, so who am i offending now?
there is no amount of crying i can do for you
you didn’t even hear me out
you didn’t even see the signs
cause you never gave a warning sign
i gave so many signs
if I’m on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too
even on my worst day, did i deserve, babe, all the hell you gave me?
cause i loved you, i swear i loved you til my dying day
i didn’t have it in myself to go with grace
if I’m dead to you, why are you at the wake?
you wear the same jewels that i gave you as you bury me
you know i didn’t want to have to haunt you
when i’d fight, you used to tell me i was brave
and i can go anywhere i want just not home
you can aim for my heart, go for blood but you would still miss me in your bones
you had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
i’ll show you every version of yourself tonight
i want you to know i’m a mirrorball, i can change everything about me to fit in
i’m still a believer, but i don’t know why
are there still beautiful things?
and though i can’t recall your face i still got love for you
love you to the moon and to saturn
i think your house is haunted. your dad is always mad and that must be why
i think you should come live with me
never have i ever before
will you call when you’re back at school?
i remember thinkin’ i had you
for me, it was enough to live for the hope of it all
so much for summer love
you weren’t mine to lose
i can see us twisted in bed sheets
i’ve been having a hard time adjusting
i didn't know if you’d care if i came back
i just wanted you to know that this is me trying
pulled the car off the road to the lookout, could’ve followed my fears all the way down
they told me all of my cages were mental, so i got wasted like all my potential
my words shoot to kill when i’m mad, i have a lot of regrets about that
it’s hard to be at a party when i feel like an open wound
that’s the thing about illicit affairs and clandestine meetings and longing stares, it’s born from just one single glance but it dies a million little times
you showed me colors you know i can’t see with anyone else
don’t call me “kid,”
don’t call me “baby”
you taught me a secret language i can’t speak with anyone else
you know damn well, for you, i would ruin myself a million little times
were there clues i didn’t see?
isn’t it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string, tying you to me?
time cutting me open, then healing me fine
what did you think i’d say to that?
fuck you forever
every time you call me crazy, i get more crazy
when you say i seem angry, i get more angry
it’s obvious that wanting me dead has really brought you two together
i’m taking my time cause you took everything from me
sir, i think he’s bleeding out
you dream of some epiphany, just one single glimpse of relief to make some sense of what you’ve seen
doc, i think she’s crashing out
some things you just can’t speak about
i won’t make assumptions about why you switched your homeroom but i think it’s ‘cause of me
the worst thing that i ever did was what i did to you
would you trust me if i told you it was just a summer thing?
i don’t know anything but i know i miss you
if i just showed up at your party, would you have me?
our coming-of-age has come and gone
i never had the courage of my convictions
i could never give you peace
i’m a fire and i'll keep your brittle heart warm if your cascade, ocean wave blues come
all these people think love’s for show but i would die for you in secret
would it be enough if i could never give you peace?
your integrity makes me seem small
i’d give you my sunshine, give you my best but the rain is always gonna come if you’re standin’ with me
you know i left a part of me back in new york
you knew the hero died so what’s the movie for?
darling, this was just as hard as when they pulled me apart
don’t want no other shade of blue but you. no other sadness in the world would do

reblog and put in the tags which characters currently live in your brain rent free
“ what am i supposed to do when i can’t even trust my own mind? ” “ i have to believe death is the end. because all that waits for me in the afterlife is a debt of sin i don’t think could ever be paid off. ” “ what do you see when you look into my eyes? ” “ it doesn’t always have to be you, you know? your shoulders aren’t the only ones that can bear the weight of the world. ” “ i don’t think hearts break. shattered things can only be broken once. but torn things can be mended again and again until it’s all scars and stitching. ” “ i can’t remember what it’s like to be truly wanted. ” “ every time you look at me i feel invisible. ” “ loneliness is a slow and cruel poison. ” “ i’m afraid that if i let you see every side of me, you should shrink back in fear or disgust. ” “ for once in your life, what is it that you want. ” “ i’ve been wrapped in my sorrow for so long, i’m afraid i’ll feel too cold without it. ” “ i just want to see you smile again. ” “ can’t you stop running for one second? ” “ i’ll be here. when you’re ready to talk. ” “ being strong doesn’t mean never asking for help or admitting you’re in pain. ” “ don’t shut me out. please. ” “ don’t look at me like that. ” “ the world isn’t made up of heroes and monsters. just broken people balancing between the two. ” “ i just wanted to do something good for once. ” “ why can’t you tell me what’s wrong? ” “ just trust me. please. ” “ why can’t you let me in? what are you so afraid of? ” “ you’re so worried about losing me/them you’re missing everything in front of you. ” “ i’m not leaving you. ” “ you’re not alone. i’m here. ” “ you see everyone so clearly except yourself. ” “ don’t you understand? i love you. and nothing you’ve done, no matter how much of a monster you think you are, is gonna change that. ” “ i find broken things interesting. maybe that’s why i like you so much. ” “ i want to be whatever it is you think i am. ” “ you see the good in everything. that’s why i like it when you look at me. ” “ i’ll still be here when you wake. ” “ i promise i’ll never hurt you again. ” “ as long as i have you, the rest doesn’t matter. ” “ what did they do to you? ” “ i’m not sure i should leave you alone. ” “ i won’t hate you. i know you think that’s what you deserve but it’s not. ” “ i want to love the parts of you that you hate. ” “ i’m scared of what you’re becoming. ” “ i’m sorry, i’m not what you think i am. ” “ you’ll always have a home with me. ” “ what happened to you? ” “ i thought i’d never see you again. ” “ you’re such a fucking coward. ” “ i envy anyone who has the privilege of being loved by you. ” “ you scared me. ” “ please, don’t ever give up on me. ” “ i’m not giving up on you. not ever. ” “ i know you love me. but it’s not the way i want to be loved. ”

another groan accompanies her words, fitz turning his body to face jemma on the floor, only lifting up the pillow so he could see what she was doing, “ we’re out of prosciutto. “
“ oh, fitz, ” she sighed with a shake of her head. the fond smile broke through as she propped her chin up in her hand and looked up at him. “ is that really worth all the dramatics? we’ll get more soon, i’m sure. ”
“ you’re debating the interest of a documentary that you didn’t even watch ?! “ fitz shook his head, standing up from his space, “ it was very interesting & you would have enjoyed the sentimental drivel if you weren’t so bloody english. “ he sighed, clearly annoyed. but no disinterested in her proposal for how to spend their evening, “ nothing with plankton. “
“ if i couldn’t watch it, it wasn’t interesting! that’s just obvious! besides, i wasn’t going to SAY anything about it. because i’m considerate of your choices when it’s your turn to pick. ” arms crossed over her chest defensively as he stood. “ i resent that accusation. i can appreciate sentiment, fitz! ” she shook her head in disapproval, but she knew the disagreement would be forgotten within the next few minutes. “ what do you want for dinner? ”
i knew them all once upon a time. they were going to change the world, and then THE WORLD changed them.

jemma hadn’t always been a light sleeper. it was just one of the many ways she came out of maveth a completely different person than she entered. getting a full night’s sleep without waking up in a cold sweat at least twice was impossible in the beginning, but eventually her nervous system calmed down enough that the slightest noise or movement of the bed didn’t wake her. especially when she knew fitz was at her side. but when he wasn’t, when he slipped out of bed to sneak off to the lab, it didn’t take long for her to wake with a start.
her eyes fluttered open when she reached out for him in her sleep and her hand hit empty space instead of finding his. she peered into the darkness, but it only confirmed her suspicions that he’d slipped away again. jemma sat up with a sigh, rubbing her palms into her eyes as she clumsily got out of bed. bare feet padded against the floor as she headed for the lab. she pushes the door open. “ fitz, ” she sighs, but there’s the faintest lazy smile on her lips, bleary eyes fondly taking him in as he worked. he was clearly too invested to even hear her, if the lack of acknowledgement was anything to go by.
she approached him carefully, resting a hand on his shoulder to signal her presence before sliding it down his back. there’s a small yawn as she wraps her arms around him, her forehead resting on his back and her eyes closing as she takes a moment to embrace him in silence. his familiar scent, his back against her chest, his warmth soaking into her, it all melted away the slight tension that had formed when she woke up alone. “ come back to bed, ” she murmured finally.
the refusal a few beats later was hardly a shock, but she frowned regardless. her embrace doesn’t break as she ducks under his arm so she was standing in front of him, resting her chin on his chest. eyelids are heavy as she looks up at him and she can see the exhaustion in his eyes as well. “ you’re tired, i can tell. you’re going to work yourself to death over this lightsaber, and i won’t stand for it. ” her words are stern but her bottom lip ever so slightly pokes out in a pout. “ i can’t sleep. are you making any progress, at least? ”
@simmcns asked !! Come back to bed fitz & simmons !! ask my muse to come back to bed. !!
oh this ! this was hardly a new scenario. sometimes some of his best work came to him in his sleep and that saw leopold fitz out of bed and into his work station. holotable on usually without the main lights, lit the work area and the features of the scottish genius up a harsh blue as he works on thoughts that could only ever come to him. ignoring hunger, ignoring tiredness , getting lost in his work.
he doesn’t hear it when the door opens, doesn’t hear the sigh of his name trying to get his attention as he scratches at the stubble on his jaw while his free hand twists the prototyped hologram of his latest invention before him. what he does feel first is the gentle slide of hands over his back before arms wrap around his chest and a forehead presses between his shoulder blades.
come back to bed.
jemma.
for a moment all fitz did was hum noncommittally, his brain racing to solve the problems of his work took slightly longer to realize what was being asked of him from the woman he loves. then the engineer freezes, just for a moment, a frown flickering across his face, before he reanimates once more. “ no, well, no, because I have to get this finished. ” and he says it like it’s obvious, like he’s not exhausted , but his words cannot come as a surprise —–it is his usual answer
GENTLE PSA; the best way to interact with me is through memes. you could send that thing @ me even though i’ve posted it five months ago and i’d still answer and appreciate it. it’s hard to think up starters out of the blue unless they’re plotted, but memes are just good and gives you a general idea of what’s happening. so please, if you see a meme on my blog, SEND THE MEME.

“ if i didn’t care, would i feel this way ? ”
“ there is bravery in being soft. ”
“ oh im sorry, did my back hurt your knife ? ”
“ i wasn’t born to be soft and quiet. i was born to make the world shatter and shake at my fingertips. ”
