I Think I've Seen This Film Before~ A Taylor Swift Reaction Book

Chapter Twenty-Three: Lover

Sorry for any typos<3

"I'm hungry." Travis stated. "Can I have a sandwich? With bacon, lettuce, but no tomato. I would instead like mustard on it but just a light drizzle and a slice of Swiss cheese and a coke on the side-"

"Can you shut up??" Matty groaned.

"When I get my sandwich, yes." Travis replied.

Can you wait three more songs?

Travis sighed, "I suppose."

Good. That being said, let's go ahead and get it started. This is a more lighthearted one to come back from the sadness of the last chapters.

"Ooh I like happy songs." Harry smiled.

                              Song: Lover
Album: Lover
Year: 2019
Song Length: 3:41
Muse: Joe Alwyn

"Oooh, is this only the second love song we've heard about Alwyn so far?" Calvin asked.

I think so, yep. We had So Long London, How Did It End, and False god, two of which were sad and the third one which was more of just a sexy song, but this is probably the first pure love one. It's also amazing and self written!

"Some of her best songs are self written." Lautner added.

Definitely! Now let's start it.

                         *the song starts*
We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January. This is our place, we make the rules. And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear. Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?

"Isn't that normal?" Calvin asked. "To leave your Christmas lights up until January?"

"Exactly!" John exclaimed. "That's what I said! But of course her chaotic fanbase had to come at me even though all I did was ask a question about it," He rolled his eyes.

Okay, that's not what you did. You basically just mocked the lyric and acted like it was the dumbest line, when in reality, she just means that her and her partner, who was Alwyn at the time, could take the Christmas lights down right after Christmas because it was her choice, it's her house so she can do small, mundane things like that, hence the lyric. "This is our place, we make the rules" right after.

"Yeah, that makes more sense." Conor nodded.

John just rolled his eyes. "Whatever."

Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close forever and ever? And ah, take me out, and take me home. You're my, my, my, my, lover.

We could let our friends crash in the living room. This is our place, we make the call. And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you. I've loved you three summers now, honey. But I want 'em all.

"Hm," Matty hummed, looking at Joe.

"What?" Joe asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

"I mean, I'm not fully believing that everyone who sees you wants you.' Like, you're not unattractive but you're not Jake or me or anything.

Okay, first of all, you and John are the most unattractive people in this room. Second of all, be nice.

"I didn't even say anything this time!" John exclaimed.

"And I don't understand why everyone can be mean to me but I can't be mean to anyone else??" Matty added.

Because you deserve it.

"Yep." Harry nodded. "Don't try to add yourself into the attractive people category that Taylor was obsessed with."

"And you think you should be in that category?" Matty snarked.

"Well," Harry shrugged, "Let's just say that she sang about how she wanted to jump off of a tall building so I'd come running to her and she also sang that she wanted you to go to jail."

Matty rolled his eyes, grumbling something that no one heard, and frankly didn't care about.

Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close forever and ever? And ah, take me out, and take me home(forever and ever) You're my, my, my, my, lover.

"Lover!" Lautner and Travis exclaimed at the same time it was said in the song, causing some glances and a few eye rolls.

"Oh please, don't object yourselves onto us because we use this opportunity to have fun and jam out while you all groan and pout." Lautner said and Travis nodded in agreement.

Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand? With every guitar string scar on my hand. I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover. My hearts been borrowed and yours has been blue.

"Awe, I loved that part!" Conor said. "It starts off just like the beginning of a wedding but y'know... Taylor's Version!"

"With every guitar string scar on my hand is probably one of my favorite lyrics of hers now." Tom said. "I interpret it as, like, 'I'll be strumming my guitar so much while writing songs about you that I'll have a bunch of scars but it's worth it 'cause I'm singing about you' or something."

"Your accent makes everything you say sound so much smarter." Travis said. "Matty makes you all look bad with his accent."

Matty went to say something before deciding if he started talking they'd just make fun of his accent more.

All's well that ends well to end up with you. Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover. And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me. And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover.

"You don't seem like a dirty jokes kinda guy." Jonas said.

"Really? I didn't think there was a specific look to it?" Alwyn replied.

"Kinda. Like Michael Scott, he just looks like he'd love dirty jokes. You're like a classy joke kinda person. Maybe it's the accent, I dunno."

"What really classifies as a 'classy joke'?" Alwyn asked.

Jonas shrugged. "Good question. Still don't know."

Alwyn just looked at him and sighed, turning back to the screen.

Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close forever and ever? And ah, take me out, and take me home(forever and ever) You're my, my, my, my.

Oh, you're my, my, my, my. Darling your my, my, my, my... lover.
                            *the song ends*

"That one was a great one." Harry said.

"Yeah," Conor agreed, turning to Alwyn. "Y'know, considering this song is about you, you've been awfully quiet about it."

"There's just," Alwyn sighed. "Nothing much to say, I guess."

"For you, maybe," John replied. "I've got a lot to say."

And no one wants to hear it! Right, guys?

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

John scoffed, crossing his arms like a child.

Alright, while John's pouting like a child, why don't we get on to the next one! It's a pretty juicy onnneeeee.

"Hell yeah, I love drama!" Lautner exclaimed.
