EVERY GAVIN JAMES SONG IS ABOUT NARRY (PART I)

[saysthemagpie]

every single goddamn song on gavin james's album Bitter Pill is about narry, and also the more i listen to it the more i hear little echoes of it in Flicker, like it's obviously 1000% the album that niall listened to in 2016 to get through the breakup (or the not-breakup, since they weren't a Thing, they were just... a thing, a forever and ever soulmates thing, a best friends in love thing).

IM JUST GONNA DO THIS IN MULTIPLE PARTS SO THAT YOU CAN FULLY ABSORB THE PAIN OF EACH SONG


nervous
i promise that i'll hold you when it's cold out
when we lose our winter coats in the spring
'cause lately i was thinking i never told you
that every time i see you my heart sings

'cause we lived at the carnival in summer
we scared ourselves to death on a ghost train
and just like every ferris wheel stops turning
oh i guess we had an expiration date
so i won't say i love you, it's too late

'cause every time i saw you i got nervous
shivering and shaking at the knees
and just like every song i haven't heard yet
i didn't know the words in front of me

but i don't want to know
who'll take you home
who'll take you home
if i let you go

now that you're on someone else's shoulders
the winter winds are colder on my own
maybe we'll meet when we get older
maybe we won't
so i won't say i love you if you don't
and no you don't
so i won't say i love you if you don't

remember me

would you remember me
when we were only seventeen
when we were living in our dreams
when we were young

and all of those midnight skies
swallowed up our childish eyes
everything we thought was a lie
when we were young

and I know when your world it shakes
it can make you ache
it can bring you to your knees
it's not where you go it's just where you're going
and who's the company

through the tears we cry let them pass us by,
and get washed into the sea
won't you just remember me when I was your life?
I was yours and you were mine
and we were never scared at all

coming home

'cause i was never good at running away
till you ran away
nothing feels the same

when are you coming home?
i'm tired of missing you when you're gone
if distance makes our hearts grow stronger
we'll live longer
but i'm dying to know, when are you coming home

when are you coming home?
when are you coming home?

God everytime i think about narry this weight hits my chest and i have to physically lie down to work through the emotions ... and i wasn't even in the goddamn relationship ! and these lyrics especially bring out those same feelings. i really hope that 2018 brings niall and harry solace in what used to be...

i'm gonna be honest when scrolling past this post i misread gavin james as gavin degraw and didn't even bat an eye. i was just like 'yeah, yeah chariot is totally a narry song. can't remember the lyrics but it's definitely narry. nice.'
