Today on 'Edits I Would Make if I had the Skill or Time'
Another Heated Rivalry idea courtesy of this song appearing on my shuffle during my morning commute.
I feel like every lyric works super well with Shane and Ilya. Detailed thoughts and analysis in the read more
Bolded Italics for some notable lyrics.
We stayed up all night
Talking to each other, whispers under covers
You told me your life
Wasn't always easy, I said I know the feeling
I told you all about the scar on my shoulder
And you told me you're terrified of getting older
We stayed up all night
The first night of a million more 'cause
I'm gonna love you, love you inside out
I'm gonna love you, love you inside out
Nothing you say is gonna scare me now
Still gonna love you, love you inside out
Hudson Williams has a fairly notable scar on his shoulder... such that it's a pretty visible part of Shane... so it's like a slam dunk of a reference.
We laughed 'til we cried
Made fun of each other, lost in one another
You held me so tight
And it felt like I was home, just the two of us alone
Made fun of each other--the whole banter back and forth with each other.
Two of us alone--a cute nod towards Shane inviting Ilya to come to the cottage ('Be completely alone... together').
You said you don't wanna end up like your parents
I said, "Don't you worry, I'm not gonna let us"
Ilya doesn't want to succumb to depression like his mother... nor does he want to be like his father.
So what do you say, babe?
'Cause I wanna know, oh
Can I be there babe
Through your highs and lows? Yeah
Just a good reference to Shane wanting to be their for Ilya in an emotional matter/something deeper.
Q.E.D. this is just a great song for them, thank you for maybe indulging in this insanity
