‘ pov : you’re the protagonist of a coming of age film ‘ plots .
the suburbs – arcade fire ;
we’re both about to leave our hometown and part ways but before that , let’s look back and reminisce on everything we went through here ( and maybe create some new memories ) . sometimes , i can’t believe we’re moving past this feeling .
we’re best friends , and even though i’ve had feelings for you for a while i’m too scared to confess because a ) i don’t want to mess up our friendship and b ) you’re dating someone else … who isn’t exactly great , according to me , your parents , and everyone ever . sometimes i think you might feel the same way i do , though ; i’m trying to understand these days .
why do you feel so down – declan mckenna ;
we were best friends as kids but as we grew up , we ended up being different people and drifted apart . a couple years later we have a chance meeting ( high school reunion , old friend group meetup , etc ) and i want to reconnect . i know i’m not a very good friend , but i miss you .
anna sun – walk the moon ;
after moving out and becoming independent , we end up as roommates in a rundown apartment building . like , really – this house is falling apart . even though we didn’t know each other before , we quickly become attached at the hip and i know i wouldn’t trade this for any luxury apartment .
trouble – cage the elephant
after living a mostly troubled life up until this point , we cross paths somehow . i’m distant and unsure of this whole thing , but you’re like the sun and you don’t let that stop you . we’re two very different people , but we end up growing so close that you can have my heart any place , any time .
the adults are talking – the strokes
we’re the youngest children of two wealthy families who tend to have plenty of parties and other events . we never seem to fit in with them – you’re picture perfect , yet still heavily criticized by your family , while i stopped caring long ago about what mine says . dinner party after dinner party we end up bonding ; i assure you that you don’t have to try so hard to please them , and then you did something wrong and you said it was great .
