Types of People: My Favorite Songs in Lover
Cruel Summer “what doesn’t kill me makes me want you more” vines crawling up a gate, rosebushes, a cool breeze, a loose bun, walking barefoot on grass, the clear night sky, picnics in the dark, wanting something forbidden
It’s Nice to Have a Friend “school bell rings, walk me home, sidewalk chalk, covered in snow” passing notes in class, plaid skirts, ties, sleepovers, fairy lights, trading secrets under the covers, pinky promises, secret languages, seeing each other grow
Daylight “step into the daylight, and let it go” waking up at sunrise, golden bobby pins, white turtlenecks, a bowl full of jewelry, neatly organized closet, ornate daggers, full eyelashes, finding peace after chaos
Afterglow “I’m the one who burned us down, and it’s not what I meant” ashes in your hands, the metro at midnight, tear tracks down your cheeks, messy buns, dark eye circles, rewriting a text fifty times, wondering how you lost something so good
Death by a Thousand Cuts “I ask the traffic lights if it’ll be alright they say ‘I don’t know’” lights turning on at a club, crying in heels, drinking in your bathtub, ripped up lingerie, choppy hair cuts, impulsive tattoos, pretending you’ve gotten over it
