#I swear my music taste is more diverse - he's just got that certain Vibe

[tiny-banana-time]

@vorchas did that "5 songs, 5 lyrics" tag game thing, and then @mtreebeardiles shared songs for his boys, too, so I threw some for Jay below the cut. Trying to drown in Blorbo Thoughts and hopefully they'll help me write 😭

So: songs and their particular lyrics that describe and/or give me feelings about Jay (and probably Kaidan by extension).

So, I'm cheating right away and saying that the entire album No Closer to Heaven by The Wonder Years has Jay or JayKay feels... It's also one of my favorite albums ever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Most notable from that album: A Raindance in Traffic as it's applicable to almost every stage of his life I plan on writing.

I was just happy to be a contender / I was just aching for anything / And I used to have such steady hands but / Now I can't keep 'em from shaking.

Also: I Don't Like Who I Was Then

I think I'm growing into someone you could trust / I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks / I want to run until my lungs give up / If I could manage not to fuck this up / If I could manage not to fuck this up / I think enough is enough.

Then there's Breathe, Desperately by From Indian Lakes

I was once a quiet boy / Cleaning out my wounds but I / Never could keep my mouth shut / When I needed to

I could try to pry it loose / But the stone won't move / And I wanna try to rip it out / But I've grown to love this thing too much

And then Degausser by Brand New

Well take me, take me back to your bed / I love you so much that it hurts my head / Say I don't mind you under my skin / I'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in

When we were made we were set apart / Life is a test and I get bad marks / Now some saint got the job of writing down my sins / The storm is coming, the storm is coming in

Also from Brand New: Jesus Christ

Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die, / I'm a little bit scared of what comes after / Do I get the gold chariot? / Do I float through the ceiling?

Do I divide and pull apart? / 'Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark / And the ship went down in sight of land / And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?

There's... So many more I could probably add, but we'll end with one more.

Hollow by Stacked Like Pancakes

It's not an easy thing, you know? / When you think as much as you breathe / But sometimes I still fear I'll choke / On these feelings inside of me

If anyone else does this and wants to share, lemmie know :)
