Separate Ways

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
