my problem is that kent parson’s story is just inherently more compelling to me than jack and bitty’s. like jack and bitty are cute but kent is mean and pathetic and heartbroken. so like. u can see who wins.

In honour of Red (Taylor's Version) Release day is it finally time to for a Red Angst & my favourite problematic fave Kent Parson Ted Talk to make its way into existence?
Because I am in fact currently spending a Law and Economics lecture overanalysing lyrics and drawing tenuous links between angsty Parse headcanons and more Taylor Swift lyrics...

OK but coney island is definitely a kent song! especially if you read such a delicate thing that we do by moeexyz a year ago and still think abt it every month. if i was good with words I'd write a whole analysis length talking about each verse but alas
This took me wayyyyy too long to respond to but I'm so glad someone was also thinking about this! I completely forgot that fic existed but YESSSS I could scream about this until I lost my voice and I still wouldn't be done

Parse and Evermore: A Ted Talk
Finally posting this incomplete draft in honour of Red (TV) Release Day pls enjoy my rambling :)) [100% currently spending my Law and Econ lecture typing up a Red version of this post because I have no self control]
It’s that time of 2020 when Taylor Swift drops another album (because why not?) and I decide to overanalyse it in an effort to make myself even sadder.
You maybe have seen my previous post of parts of Folklore that gave me KP feels. If you haven’t and you feel like joining me in feeling sad, you can find that here: Parse and Folklore: A Ted Talk.
I may have written that post and then disappeared from Tumblr but I’m back with more potential sadness based entirely on projections and headcanons yay.
Evermore definitely doesn’t scream Parse as much as Folklore did but that’s definitely not gonna stop me and at some point I really wanna go back and do this with her previous albums. But for now, I’m listening to Evermore on repeat and these are some immediate thoughts mostly based on individual lyrics rather than the themes or stories of the songs overall. So gather round kiddos and join me in having emotions about fictional characters!
1) Happiness - literally just Kent coming to terms with him being allowed to be happy after everything that happened with Jack? The slow progression from thinking that Jack was the reason he was happy and realising that it wasn’t a great time for them but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t any happiness then either. I actually don’t have that many coherent thoughts just... Kent Parson x Happiness okay. My problematic fave deserves it and I’ll forever be annoyed with how canon went because that was not that satisfying soz.
Lyrics (damn there are so many):
There'll be happiness after you
But there was happiness because of you
Both of these things can be true //
There’ll be happiness after me
But there was happiness because of me
Both of these things, I believe
Beyond the terror in the nightfall
Haunted by the look in my eyes
That would've loved you for a lifetime <-- Don’t try to tell me Kent wasn’t actually in love with Jack or at the very least convinced he was and was willing to stay with him no matter what, even though they’d go to separate teams
Tell me, when did your winning smile
Begin to look like a smirk?
When did all our lessons start to look like weapons
Pointed at my deepest hurt? <-- Where did it go wrong and when did all their wholesome teen moments of friendship turn to the anger and spite we end up seeing when Kent turns up at Samwell :( How did it turn to what happens whenever the Falconers play the Aces :(
I hope she'll be your beautiful fool
Who takes my spot next to you
No, I didn't mean that
Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury
You haven't met the new me yet <-- Fully just Kent being angry at Jack for how things went wrong, he got cut out from his life and then he goes to visit him at Samwell and sees Bitty who low(high)key looks like a mini-him, but he’s learning and growing and one day he’ll be able to move past it and find his own happiness
I can't make it go away by making you a villain
I guess it's the price I paid for seven years in Heaven
And I pulled your body into mine
Every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties
No one teaches you what to do
When a good man hurts you
And you know you hurt him, too <-- Neither of them are the villains in the story, not really. They were just kids and things went wrong and they both got hurt for it but Kent got cut off from his support mechanisms and thrust into the NHL as a kid and no one ever taught him how to deal with the fallout of what happened between them
2) Closure - (we’re ignoring that ‘canon’ interaction between Bitty and Kent for this one because I hate it lol) Ahh don’t think about the the possibility of the actual anger/spite Kent could feel about the situation and everything that happened with Jack. He just got cut out of his life after the overdose, left to deal with the aftermath of watching his boyfriend/best friend nearly die and sent off to a foreign city as basically still a kid and to Jack it apparently didn’t mean as much as it did to Kent. And Kent keeps turning up in Jack’s new life trying to make things go back to normal but Jack just wants to push the past away and move on and have his new life in Samwell and beyond. So I totally hear this and think of Kent feeling so angry about Jack’s false niceties and attempts at ‘closure’ that Kent really doesn’t want. Bonus points if you consider the possibility that Jack never actually spoke with Kent post-rehab and all Kent got is a letter/messaged probably passed on by Bob & Alicia.
Lyrics that stand out to my angsty heart:
It's been a long time
And seeing the shape of your name
Still spells out pain
It wasn't right
The way it all went down --> Kent definitely doesn’t get over what happens quickly, probably has a lot of trauma associated with Jack. Eventually he realises that he’s not the one at fault for what happened (maybe in some ways but he was just a kid in a secret relationship doing a stressful sport in a homophobic environment), Jack cutting him out may have been good for Jack’s mental health but it was still unfair on Kent in many ways
Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
It cut deep to know ya
Right to the bone
Yes, I got your letter
Yes, I'm doing better
I know that it's over
I don't need your "closure"
Your "closure" <-- Kent is doing better at this point but there is clearly still trauma there, also you can think about when Kent visits Jack at Samwell and he pushes him away trying to tell Kent that they’re over and it won’t be the same as it was before because that sure hurt me to think about as Taylor sings ‘closure’ :(
Don't treat me like some situation that needs to be handled
I'm fine with my spite
And my tears
And my beers and my candles
I can feel you smoothing me over <-- I can definitely see Jack as thinking that Kent need to be handled (’I miss you’ ‘you always say that’), also this is so Kent and unhealthy coping mechanisms and anger at the situation and Jack and wanting to hold on to that anger and spite
I know I'm just a
Wrinkle in your new life
Staying "friends"
Would iron it out so nice
Guilty, guilty reaching out across the sea
That you put between you and me
But it's fake
And it's oh so unnecessary <-- Would Kent trust Jack if an attempt was made to be friends again? Or would he feel unwanted and like it’s all fake and Jack is just trying to make sure he doesn’t cause problems in his new life? I like angst and making myself hurt so you can guess what I think
3) Coney Island - don’t think about Kent wondering what he did to make Jack overdose and cut him out. Don’t think about Kent questioning if he’s to blame for Jack’s anxiety and if he pushed him over the edge and that’s why he cut him out from his life and why they’re no longer even friends. And definitely don’t think about Kent just being alone in Las Vegas wondering whether Jack will ever forgive him or what he’s supposed to do if he doesn’t even know Jack anymore.
Lyrics:
If this is the long haul,
How'd we get here so soon?
Did I close my fist around something delicate?
Did I shatter you?
And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island wondering where did my baby go?
The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go
Sorry for not making you my centerfold --> I can totally see Kent thinking that he’s too blame for what happened because he didn’t focus enough on Jack and his problems :(
The question pounds my head
"What's a lifetime of achievement?"
If I pushed you to the edge
But you were too polite to leave me --> wondering if going first in the draft and being the Ace’s record book is worth it if him going first meant he lost Jack
Will you forgive my soul
When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?
4) Marjorie - okay so I probably have some very odd thoughts about this specific song but bare with me. Obviously the connection isn’t *clear* and it doesn’t follow the direct idea of the song, but if we ignore Marjorie being Taylor Swift’s dead grandmother, this song makes me think of KP in two ways. So fun fun fun double the angst double the fun. Basically just think of this song as everything Kent lost right before the draft. If you don’t think about the death as literal you can totally see this being about how when Jack overdosed and cut Kent out of his life, Kent also lost the support mechanism he might have had from Bob and Alicia. So definitely don’t listen to this one and think about Kent thinking of the little bits of wisdom he got from Jack’s parents before he lost them too. And don’t think about Kent thinking about all of the things he should have asked them about but won’t get the chance to anymore not he’s not friends with Jack...And also don’t think about Kent knowing Jack almost died, and even though he didn’t actually die he still left him (but he’s still there haunting him in his head because traumaaaa :( )
Lyrics:
Never be so kind, you forget to be clever
Never be so clever, you forget to be kind //
Never be so polite, you forget your power
Never wield such power, you forget to be polite
And if I didn't know better
I'd think you were talking to me now
If I didn't know better
I'd think you were still around
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, you're alive in my head
What died didn't stay dead
What died didn't stay dead
You're alive, so alive
I should've asked you questions
I should've asked you how to be
Asked you to write it down for me
Should've kept every grocery store receipt
'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me <-- thinking about all the things he should’ve done and held onto because he lost so much after they fell apart
5) ‘tis the damn season - yikes. So ignoring the context of the actual song and just think about Kent coming to see Jack and thinking about how much he misses him and if only they could just reignite whatever they had for old times’ sake (because of course Kent still has feelings for him). Just that scene of Kent trying to kiss Jack in Samwell, saying he misses him before Jack pushes him away. And then it’s Kent going back to Vegas, which isn’t really home in his mind because in his mind home is still this ideal he has of Jack and him together and playing their best hockey.
Lyrics:
If I wanted to know
Who you were hanging with
While I was gone, I would've asked you --> Cue image of Kent insulting Jack’s team because he doesn’t care about Jack’s new life if it doesn’t involve him
Just for old times' sake
I won't ask you to wait
If you don't ask me to stay
So I'll go back to LA
And the so-called friends who'll write books about me if I ever make it
And wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I'm faking
And the heart I know I'm breaking is my own
To leave the warmest bed I've ever known --> Hi. LA=LV. I’m sad now.
Messy as the mud on your truck tires
Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
We could just ride around
And the road not taken looks real good now
And it always leads to you and my hometown
It always leads to you and my hometown --> PSA Jack = Parse’s hometown at this point in time
6) Ivy - The actual story of this song doesn’t fit in the slightest but damn do some of the lyrics really hurt me and make me think of Parse being sad about Jack. I can’t stop my brain from making these connections so please feel free to join me in my sadness
Lyrics to particularly think about:
And the old widow goes to the stone every day
But I don't, I just sit here and wait
Grieving for the living --> Jack didn’t die from his overdose but Kent still had to grieve the loss of his friend/boyfriend and probably his whole support mechanism
I'd live and die for moments that we stole
On begged and borrowed time --> Why do lyrics about infidelity always end up making me sad about Parse and Jack and their secret relationship in the Q, living on borrowed time knowing that it has an ending and everything will be over as soon as the draft happens?
7) Tolerate it - hello, for this song I like to cry thinking about Jack telling Bitty that his ‘thing’ with Kent didn’t actually mean anything when Kent 100% thought it meant so much until it apparently didn’t and that’s just it. The song is
Kent loving Jack and Jack just tolerating him and that love instead of celebrating it. :( Perspective is everything so even though Jack might not legitimately feel this way, my headcanon Kent’s feelings are still valid.
Lyrics:
I sit and watch you reading with your head low
I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed
I sit and watch you, I notice everything you do or don't do
If it's all in my head tell me now
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
I know my love should be celebrated
But you tolerate it
I take your indiscretions all in good fun --> my mind just goes to Jack being self-destructive because of his anxiety and all the pressure going on in the Q and Kent thinking it’s all just him having fun and blowing off some steam (obvs I know that’s not what indiscretions refers to in the song)
While you were out building other worlds, where was I?
Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire?
I made you my temple, my mural, my sky
Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life
Drawing hearts in the byline
Always taking up too much space or time
You assume I'm fine
But what would you do if I
Break free and leave us in ruins
Took this dagger in me and removed it
Gain the weight of you then lose it
Believe me, I could do it
If it's all in my head tell me now
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow
I know my love should be celebrated
But you tolerate it
I sit and watch you -> -> just this whole goddamn bridge section excuse me how dare Miss Swift do this to me? Yeah so Jack goes and builds a whole new life for himself, turning over a new leaf and getting better which is very good for him but very sad for one Mr Kent Parson who just wants to be in Kent’s life. And ofc Jack assumes that Kent is perfectly fine because he went first in the draft and is playing in the NHL and doing well and living their dream even though that doesn’t mean he’s fine at all...
8) Dorothea - It’s Kent’s POV and Jack = Dorothea except Jack didn’t go and leave town to chase his dreams, he left Kent and their shared dreams to go to Samwell and cut him out of his life. But it’s not too late to join him in the NHL and they can be the dream team again...
Lyrics:
You got shiny friends since you left town
A tiny screen's the only place I see you now
And I got nothing but well wishes for ya
It's never too late
To come back to my side
The stars in your eyes
Shined brighter in Tupelo
And if you're ever tired of being known
For who you know
You know, you'll always know me -> Kent was the first person to see Jack as Jack and not his father’s son and you can try and pry that headcanon from my cold dead hands
9) Champagne Problems - not me thinking specifically about this idiom and how Kent would consider his very real mental health issues as just champagne problems and would also probably think the correct way to deal with his issues is to drink them away... But yeah it’s just a lot of Kent thinking he hurt Jack and that he’s the one at fault for what went wrong and just thinking on how one day Jack will find someone new who will help him with all the issues that were caused by Kent being a part of his life (yo me projecting so many angsty headcanons onto KP, this version of Kent really needs a hug)
Lyrics:
You booked the night train for a reason
So you could sit there in this hurt
Bustling crowds or silent sleepers
You're not sure which is worse
Champagne problems
Your heart was glass, I dropped it
Dom Perignon, you brought it
No crowd of friends applauded
Your hometown skeptics called it
Champagne problems
Your Midas touch on the Chevy door
November flush and your flannel cure
"This dorm was once a madhouse"
I made a joke "well, it's made for me" how
Evergreen, our group of friends
Don't think we'll say that word again
And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls
That we once walked through
One for the money, two for the show
I never was ready, so I watch you go
Sometimes you just don't know the answer
Till someone's on their knees and asks you
"She would've made such a lovely bride
What a shame she's fucked in the head", they said
But you'll find the real thing instead
She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred
You won't remember all my
Champagne problems

I very rarely go on Tumblr these days but this is utter perfection and all I want to do is add my KP Folklore songs from this post and my soon to be made Evermore sequel post to it and feel sad about Pimms ahh
i don’t want you like a best friend: a tswift-pimms playlist
i don’t want you like a best friend: a tswift-pimms playlist
link
this is the pimms playlist i spent more than a year working on from like, 2018 to the end of 2019! as such, it only contains music up through lover, not anything from folklore or evermore. @permets-2 finally poked me into posting the liner notes, which I gave up on because tumblr formatting was fighting me, so please know i haven’t actually looked at them since 2019 and there might still be missing things? idk.
this playlist is absolutely dedicated to my beloved @faiasakura, who did her own version of an all-tswift pimms playlist completely independently (we actively avoided comparing notes, lol), which can be found here!
i don’t really go here lately but i hope this is of interest to someone!

How dare a certain Miss Taylor Swift release an album which gives me far too many Kent Parson feels and then decide it’s okay to drop a sister album and not expect me to try and overanalyse it to find ways to be sad about omgcp again.
Evermore definitely doesn’t scream KP as much as Folklore did but if nothing else, this will be fun procrastination.
Check out my very rushed Folkore/Parse post here if you’re interesting in feeling sad today.

Since Folklore was my ‘be sad and try not to think about Kent Parson’ album, you can bet I’m about to overanalyse Evermore to find how this album can make me feel sad about my favourite problematic fave as well.

Parse & Folklore: A Ted Talk
Alright everyone, settle down and come have emotions with me about how many of the lyrics from Folklore could apply to Parse. This is a long one so buckle in kiddos. I’m not usually a omgcp blog and I haven’t actually used tumblr in ages but I needed to share my emotions. Someone please yell at me if they have any more thoughts - I’m always here for Parse &/ Taylor rants!
1. The 1 - let’s be real you could read the entirety of this song as Kent, hopefully having now finally managed to move on from Jack, wistfully thinking back on how nice it would’ve have been if he had indeed been ‘the one’.
Lyrics that kind of hurt:
We were something, don’t you think so?
And if my wishes came true
It would've been you
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
Rosé flowing with your chosen family
And it would've been sweet
If it could've been me
In my defense, I have none
For digging up the grave another time
2. Cardigan - So the concept of this song doesn’t directly relate to Kent but a few of the lines stick out to me a lot and I guess just generally this idea of ‘when you are young they assume you know nothing’ in the context of what Jack and Kent would have been going through when they were in Juniors.
Lyrics that stand out to my angsty heart:
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew everything when I was young
I knew I'd curse you for the longest time <--literally just Kent not being able to let go of Jack despite how long it’s been since the draft
3. My Tears Ricochet - Definitely don’t think about the idea of Kent loving Jack and being cut out and ignored following his overdose while listening to this song. ‘I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace’ when thinking about Kent visiting Jack at Samwell and being rejected, then lashing out is particularly painful okay. You could totally interpret a lot of this song as Kent lashing out at Jack and reminding him that he can cut him out and claim he’s moved on but he’ll always be a part of him and it just makes me sad to think about how that might not actually be true...
Lyrics that make me sad:
Even on my worst day
Did I deserve, babe
All the hell you gave me?
'Cause I loved you
I swear I loved you
Till my dying day
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
And you're the hero flying around saving face <--Jack getting to look like Kent attacked him for no reason as if he doesn’t also owe apologies
'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave
And you can aim for my heart, go for blood
But you would still miss me in your bones <-- also kind of reminds me of Kent, in his anger when he turns up at Samwell, lashing out and saying that it’s people like him who still care about Jack no matter what
4. Mirrorball - okay literally just one line really sticks out to me and makes me sad so definitely don’t think about Kent having to hide who he is around the Aces, especially when Jack and Bitty kiss on the ice and he’s in the bar and someone whose name I’ve forgotten is being a homophobic dick, while Taylor sings “I'm a mirrorball
I can change everything about me to fit in”
5. AUGUST - like the entire song basically? But like specifically these two boys have a month in the summer between winning the memorial cup and the draft and maybe Kent thinks it’s perfect and he’s so hopeful and he knows it has to end because they’re going to be on separate teams but maybe for him, just wanting them to be together is enough, at least for now. But everything goes wrong and Jack slips away and then they lose contact because Jack cuts him out and all Kent knows is that he should have known because he was never really his no matter how much he hoped that would be true. So now he just has those memories of the two of them together that one summer and maybe that kind of makes me want to cry?
Lyrics and sadnessss:
I never needed anything more
Whispers
Of "Are you sure?"
"Never have I ever before" <-- just really hammering in that reminder that they were just kids before the draft
But I can see us
Lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away
Like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Will you call when you're back at school?
I remember thinking I had you
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case you'd call
So much for summer love, and saying "Us"
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
6. This is Me Trying - Yikes, isn’t the title just a hypothetical Parse anthem though? Once again, not really exactly in the spirit of the actual song but I feel like so many of the lyrics apply? I mean, Kent turning up at Samwell vibes and once again he lashes out because he feels hurt but he’s trying. He doesn’t even know if Jack wants to see him but he’s hopeful so he turns up and he’s trying to be helpful and to reconnect but he’s still hurting even if Jack doesn’t seem to care? Also definitely don’t think about Kent in his first year in the NHL when he’s supposed to be living his dream and enjoying life, celebrating victories with his new team but all he can think about is Jack and how he may have hurt him and that he’s living the life he’s missing out on.
Lyrics I have emotions about:
I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
I have a lot of regrets about that
Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
Could've followed my fears all the way down
And maybe I don't quite know what to say
But I'm here in your doorway <-- Kent turning up at Samwell not really knowing if Jack would want to see him but being so hopeful that he would just hurtssss
I just wanted you to know
That this is me trying
And at least I’m trying
And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
I have a lot of regrets about that
And it's hard to be at a party
When I feel like an open wound
It's hard to be anywhere these days
When all I want is you
7. Illicit Affairs - Ooooh boy, we’re back to entire songs that remind me of Kent and Jack and pre-draft sadness. So cannon Jack might claim that they never really dated and doesn’t that hurt even more if you consider Kent thinking they’re basically dating in secret only for Jack to overdose, then cut him off completely and deny that what they had ever involved any real emotions on his part? So here’s where illicit affairs makes me want to sob. Definitely don’t think about them having a secret ‘relationship’ that starts off because they’re just such close friends, the best friend either one of them has ever had, but they’re also both closeted professional hockey players and horny teenagers let’s be honest, and what starts off as raw moments of honesty and closeness between them get’s slowly corrupted because they have to hide it all, and they have the draft to think about, and Jack has his anxiety etc. And maybe Jack doesn’t call him kid or baby but he does call him Kenny like nobody else does and Kent would ruin himself if it meant he could have Jack back, would give him anything, would get him a spot on the Aces so they can finally play together like they were supposed to...This song makes me sad.
Lyrics that hurt especially (might as well post the entire song here tbh):
And that's the thing about illicit affairs
And clandestine meetings
And longing stares
It's born from just one single glance
But it dies and it dies and it dies
...a million little times /
They show their truth one single time
But they lie and they lie and they lie
...a million little times
So you leave no trace behind
Like you don't even exist
Take the words for what they are
A dwindling, mercurial high
A drug that only worked
The first few hundred times
And you wanna scream
Don't call me kid
Don't call me baby
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else
Don't call me kid
Don't call me baby
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else
And you know damn well
For you I would ruin myself
...a million little times
8. Invisible Strings - Is this song too happy for my feelings about Kent most of the time? Probably, but basically any ship that ends in Kent/Happiness could apply to this song and that’s the reason it stays on this list. So basically think about Kent being happy and moving on with someone who’s so so good for him and helps him heal and then reconsider this song with that in mine.
Lyrics to think about:
Time, Mystical time
Cutting me open, then healing me fine
A string that pulled me
Out of all the wrong arms right into that dive bar
Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire
Chains around my demons
Wool to brave the seasons
One single thread of gold tied me to you
Cold was the steel of my axe to grind for the boys who broke my heart
Now I send their babies presents <- the idea of Kent moving on and no longer having confrontations with Jack whenever they meet but instead being happy for him too makes me so happy
9. Betty - Okay once again the actual idea of this song, definitely doesn’t directly apply but hear me out. Kent turning up at Samwell wanting to be heard out by Jack. Maybe it doesn’t happen directly after the event so he’s not ‘only 17′ but he effectively is and he doesn’t know anything really. He didn’t at the time the overdose happened and he never got the chance to deal with it properly because Jack cut him out so he still doesn’t really know anything. All he knows is that he misses Jack and he wants to play with him again and wants them to get back to where they used to be, to where they’re suppose to be. And if he insulting Jack’s team isn’t James (Taylor’s POV) singing about Betty’s ‘stupid friends’ then idk what else to say. Why does this song scream Kent so much to me despite being about a random 17 year old boy who cheated on his girlfriend?
Lyrics I want to scream about:
Betty, I won't make assumptions about why you switched your homeroom
But I think it's 'cause of me <--so obvs not homeroom but please don’t think about Kent thinking that Jack overdosed and decided not to go to the NHL after her recovered because of him
But if I just showed up at your party
Would you have me?
Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
Or lead me to the garden?
I'm only seventeen
I don't know anything but I know I miss you <--maybe he’s not 17 but he’s basically still just a kid whenever Jack’s involved
Betty, I'm here on your doorstep
And I planned it out for weeks now but, it's finally sinking in
Betty, right now is the last time
I can dream about what happens when you see my face again
The only thing I wanna do
Is make it up to you
So, I showed up at your party
Will you have me?
Will you love me?
Will you kiss me on the porch in front of all your stupid friends?
If you kiss me
Will it be just like I dreamed it? Will it patch your broken wings?
I definitely have more to say on this but this is already so long so that’s it for now, might continue on some other time?

If you don’t wanna feel sad, don’t listen to the Folklore album while thinking about Kent Parson. And definitely don’t consider just how many of the lyrics could apply to him.
Or do and come scream about it with me, that’s an option.
