Okay, Iām like half asleep and have no interest in proof reading this so please ignore any errors, but hear me out- How Many Things by Sabrina Carpenter but like compared to Will Byers
It turns out forks are - everywhere
There's no hidin' from the thought of us
I got ways to find you anywhereā
This is like Will being unable to move on past Mike, he is in a whole new state and yet he still canāt get over his best friend. He wants Mike to call him and his own sister reminds him of Mike constantly since they call and since they are dating, there is no escaping Mike for him.
āWe sat on the roof once
Conversation took us everywhere
And we talked until the sun came up
I wish we stayed just like we were up thereā
Will doesnāt want to grow up, he wants to stay in the basement and keeping playing games forever. He wants to keep being Mikeās best friend and the first person in Mikeās life, but Mike is too busy trying to act normal and grown up and Will feels left behind because he lost his childhood to the Upside Down.
āI consider you, I'm not trying to
It doesn't matter whether not I want to
I can't help it, it's a habit
Your corner in my mind is well establishedā
Will has always been in love with Mike, since before Mikeās relationship with El and likely he still will after it ends. Mike has been a constant in his life, heās always been there to support him when it matters and Mike was one of the first people besides his mom or Jonathan to ever actually show him care or love really, so for Will Mike is both a comforting thought as well as one that pains him bc in Willās mind Mike is something unattainable.
āI, I wonder how many things you think about before you get to me
I wonder how many things you wanna do
I feel myself falling further down your priorities
And I still make excuses for you constantly
I wonder how many things you think about
Before, before you get to meā
Will feels like heās being left behind like he is being left in the dust as al his friends get girlfriends and move on in a way he canāt. He doesnāt like girls and heās still stuck behind, one foot in the upside down because thatās not something you can just walk away from. Mike didnāt call or send letters during the entire year they were separated, Will waiting for a call and never getting one because El is the priority and not him. Yet he canāt move on because Mike will always be his person, even if he feels left behind and hurt constantly he canāt bring himself to move on because there will never be anyone like Mike for him. Itās Mike or nothing with Will.
āRemember when you left once?
That never made too much sense to me
Well it hurt you so bad, hurting me
You really came to me for sympathy
Oh, I consider you, I'm not trying to
It doesn't matter whether not I want to
I can't help it, it's a habit
Your corner in my mind is well establishedā
Will finds it in him to comfort Mike even when all Mike is talking about it El. He puts Elās and Mikeās feelings over his own and uses Elās name to voice his feelings to Mike. Will feels like thereās something wrong with him, and the one person who makes him feel like heās not a disgrace is dating his sister. Will forgives Mike time and time again because Mike will always be his person, even if he isnāt Mikeās.
