Taylor Swift songs I associate with Riordanverse couples
(Inspired by @thedamwaterboy)
“Do you remember, we were sittin’ there by the water? You put your arm around me for the first time”
“You learn my secrets and you figure out why I’m guarded. You say we’ll never make my parents mistakes”
“Braced myself for the goodbye, Cause’ that’s all I’ve ever known. Then you took me by surprise. You said, ‘ I’ll never leave you alone ’
Jump Then Fall (Fearless)
“Every time you smile, I smile. And every time you shine, I’ll shine for you”
“The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet, I'll catch you, I'll catch you. When people say things that bring you to your knees, I'll catch you. The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry, But I'll hold you through the night until you smile”
“Whoa oh, I need you baby. Don’t be afraid, please jump then fall, jump then fall into me.”
“Morning, his place. Burnt Toast, Sunday. You keep his shirt, he keeps his word. And for once, you let go. Of your past, and your ghosts. One step, not much, but it said enough.”
“One night, he wakes, strange look on his face. Pauses, then says, ‘You’re my best friend.’”
“And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars. And why I’ve spent my whole life trying to put it into words. ‘Cause you can hear it in the silence. You can feel it on the way home. You can see it with the lights out. You are in love, true love.”
New Year’s Day (Reputation):
“Don’t read the last page. But I stay, when you’re lost, and I’m scared, and you’re turning away. I want your midnights, but I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day.”
“I’ll be there if you’re the toast of the town, babe. Or if you strike out and you’re crawling home.”
“Please don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh I can recognize anywhere.”
I Think He Knows (Lover):
“He got that boyish look that I like in a man. I am an architect I’m drawing up the plans. It’s like I’m 17, nobody understands. No. One. Understands.”
“I think he knows he’d better lock it down, or I won’t stick around, ‘cause the good ones never wait.”
“Lyrical smile, indigo eyes, hand on my thigh. We could follow the sparks, I’ll drive.”
“Once upon a time, the planets and the fates and all the stars aligned. You and I ended up in the same room, at the same time. And the touch of a hand lit the fuse. To a chain reaction of countermoves.”
“I laid the groundwork, and just like clockwork, the dominoes cascaded in a line. What if I told you I’m a mastermind? And now you’re mine. It was all by design. ‘Cause I’m a mastermind.”
“All the wisest women had to do it this way. Because we were born to be the pawn in every lovers game. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Strategy sets the scene for the tale.”
“No one wanted to play with me as a little kid. So I’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since, to make them love me and make it seem effortless.”
“And I swear, I’m only cryptic and Machiavellian ‘cause I care.”
