I've added the song lengths to the description of the songs, btw!🫶

Alright! It's time for the next song!

Everyone got quiet, ready to see what the next song is, when the sound of people still talking cut through the silence and everyone looked over to see Taylor and Travis laughing and talking with each other.

"Hey, thing 1 and thing 2, maybe pay attention?" Calvin said, snapping his fingers in their direction. "How are you guys not a little worried or anxious at all?"

"Because we have nothing to worry about." Taylor shrugged. "She doesn't have anything bad to say about me."

"And my songs are both love songs." Travis replied. "I don't even have any break up songs."

"For now." Jake muttered under his breath.

"What?" Travis replied.

"Nothing." He shrugged.

Anyway, here's the information.


Song: Dear John
Album: Speak Now
Year: 2010
Song length: 6:45
Muse: John Mayer

"Fuckin' dammit." John groaned.

"Damn, almost seven minutes? She had a lot to say about your ass." Travis chuckled.

John just groaned.

You really thought we weren't gonna get to it?

"I just didn't expect you to get to it so soon." John replied.

Of course we were. Any excuse to hate on you works, really

John rolled his eyes.

Anyway, on with the song!

                          *the song starts*

Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you. Counting my footsteps, praying the floor won't fall through again.

And my mother accused me of losing my mind but I swore I was fine.

"Her mother was valid for that." Joe Jonas commented, and everyone agreed. Except John, of course.

"I would've been pissed off and shocked too if my nineteen year old daughter was dating a thirty two year old man." Taylor said.

You paint me a blue sky, then go back and turn it to rain. And I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules everyday.

Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone, tonight. Well, I stopped picking up, and this song is to let you know why.

"That lyric alone lets me know that she's getting ready to destroy you, man." Harry said.

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone. Don't you think nineteen's too young to be messed with? The girl in the dress cried the whole way home. I should've known.

"That's actually a good question. Did you not think nineteen was too young for your thirty two year old self?" Tom questioned.

"I mean. I've dated younger women before?" He shrugged.

"Yeah, that didn't make it better." Tom sighed.

Well, maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame. Or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love and take it away.
