this took almost 2 hours 😭😭
midnight rain by taylor swift has been stuck in my mind through out the day, so i originally just added four lines to the bridge, because the song is shorter than the other midnight tracks. i also had changed the pronouns from he to she, because *next paragraph*
i was thinking, how one of the last times i talked to an online friend, i asked how she was like after 2 years. she went on to say she's the same, but older. i went on to babble on how i had changed so much these past 2 years. so she stayed the same, and i changed like midnight rain.
unlike her, i stayed on wattpad because i was making my own name. not just by writing books on here, but i yearn to be a singer-pop songwriter- while music isn't exactly her life. i'm honestly not sure on what she's majoring on, cause i never got the chance to ask, but i'm sure it's not crazy like my music career dream.
she's 2 years older- obviously more mature and wiser, while i'm 16 and honestly think too much like a teen. i'm young, i'm dumb. i don't know what the real world is like. i'm chaos, she's calm.
some of it are the original lyrics, while others are lyrics i myself wrote flowing with the same midnight rain melody.
maybe you've had an online friend you no longer are in touch with too. this is for them then, cause they're somewhere out there. just maybe, they still think think of you too :')
INTRO / CHORUS:
( separate ways )
she wanted calm
i wanted to evolve
she wanted that simple life
i was making my own name
chasing that fame
she stayed the same
and so we went our separate ways
1ST VERSE:
3 am when we talked most
was a combo of random convos
and several distinct oaths
of how we'd never let go
but we did anyways
like a bomb that went off
never too long, defying all odds
love that deeply went wrong
and forever left behind
CHORUS:
she was empathy
i was carefree
she wanted calm
i wanted to evolve
she wanted simple life
i was making my own name
chasing that fame
she stayed the same
and so we went our separate ways
2ND VERSE:
it took over so frivolous
frantic timezones, so much distance
it's always her that i'm missing
how inconvenient and out of reach
so i peer through a window
daylight savings, stars aligning
the sky is suddenly so darkening
like how when we our separate ways
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE:
BRIDGE:
i guess sometimes we all get
just what we wanted
but not in august
and she never thinks of me
except on may 13th
i guess sometimes we all get
some kind of haunted
it's become my bad habit
and i tend to think of her
during swerved summers
and now, she's off in college
overwhelmed with course assignments
and watching over her relative's kids
but does she ever wonder
what could've happened
without that loss of connection
is it really all over?
CHORUS:
i took the road less traveled
and so did she
but moving on is never easy
she stayed the same
i wanted change
it all came down like midnight rain
