Song based on Gansey and Blue's relationship from "The Raven Cycle" series.
SPOILER WARNING FOR THE SERIES!!
lyrics
Sometimes I wonder if I'd been nearly as intrigued
By the spirit I saw walking to the church on St. Mark's Eve
If I'd known this “Gansey. That's all there is.” was the type
To wear deck shoes without a lake anywhere nearby
I mean, honestly
He's condescending with the kind of earnest intent
That means he honestly thought he was giving a compliment
He spends money with oblivious naiveté
That makes me want to smack him and then he goes to say
He goes to say:
CHORUS:
Jane (Jane)
I like you an awful lot
Did you know I can fall asleep
On those nights we talk
Oh, Jane (Jane)
I wish you could be kissed
Cause I would beg just one off you
Under all this
I mean, honestly
His words are unerring tools of destruction
And he unequipped with the ability to deconstruct ‘em
He rich enough to have everything that he desires
He thinks polo shirts and khakis count as casual attire
I mean, honestly
The kitchen, laundry, and bathroom are condensed into one space
At the hipster paradise abandoned factory of his place
Not to mention his ostentatious, unreliable excuse for a car
The most atrociously Aglionby by far
But then he says:
CHORUS
I mean, honestly
See, when he’s reading, there’s a different Gansey on his face
One so earnest, so fragile, so unsure of his place
Who would move all of heaven and earth to help his friends
Who met death face to face, when he was only ten
I mean, honestly
He’s the kind of king who only rules once he’s earned his crown
Who is astonished and amazed the people he’s around
What happens to the court when the king leaves them behind?
After all, a single year gives us such little time
Cus then he’s saying:
CHORUS
I mean, honestly
I can’t help wondering if fate just had it out for me
And that spirit I saw walking to the church on St. Mark’s Eve
Because I love him and he’s – God, haven’t we been here before?
Saying “It’ll be okay. I’m ready.” as it starts to pour
But Gansey’s saying:
Jane (Jane)
It’ll be okay
Jane (Jane)
It’ll be okay, it’ll be okay
I mean it honestly:
Blue, kiss me, it’s okay.
It’ll be okay, it’ll be okay
It’ll be okay
