So if you’ve read my profile description, you know that I’m really passionate about music. If not, now you know. Anyways, lyrics inspire me, fuel me, make me happy. So while I was writing this story, if I listened to my iPod and came across a song that reminded me of Marygrace and Niall, I’d write it down. Sooner or later, it became this massive list, which was narrowed down to this slightly smaller, but still massive list. So, I thought I’d share it with you. I’ll explain a little about some, give the lyrics for some, but some may just be self explanatory.
You And Me by Parachute
Keep your head up, love,
Nobody here can stop us
If it was you and me against the world
Baby, they've got us under but
We'll take whatever we want.
If it was you and me against the world,
You get the car, I'll get the cash,
We'll take the money and run.
With all the paparazzi and news articles that bashed Niall and MG (her nickname), they didn’t let anything get between them. They still stayed together.
More Than This by One Direction
This song was kind of the background music for the scene in the Beacon Theater when Niall sees Marygrace with the guy.
She (For Liz) by Parachute
She, She is the words that I can't find
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive
And I couldn't speak
I couldn't breathe to save my life
All of my chances swim like sinking ships
This time it's it
I'll drown or make her mine
This has always been one of my favorite songs. The lyrics are absolutely poetic and if you can’t tell, I love this band. Anyway, this is kind of the beginning of their relationship when Niall is trying not to fall in love. He knows that he shouldn’t fall in love with a stranger when he’s famous, but he can’t help it.
I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz
Pretty much the same idea as “You and Me.” Even with all the obstacles in their way, they won’t give up on eachother (*cue the chorus of “aww”*)
Enchanted by Taylor Swift
There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired lonely place
Walls of insincerity,
Shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
This is me praying that
This was the very first page
Not where the story line ends
My thoughts will echo your name
Until I see you again
These are the words I held back
As I was leaving too soon
This song is just that entirely giddy feeling that Niall had after he met Marygrace, just wanting to be with her all over again and relive the date. Plus, this song kind of describes the entirety of their relationship. Niall was kind of lonely without her, they started talking and being playful, he hoped that she was single, you get the point.
Anywhere But Here by Hilary Duff
When I'm in a crowd
Or on an island by myself
Silent or too loud
Wishing I was somewhere else
And I can't believe
You hit me fast and hard
When you turn to me and say
Never change the way you are
When you look at me suddenly it's clear
You're burning up my dreams
Crazy as it seems
I don't wanna be anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
When Marygrace is stranded in the hotel and is upset at first, Niall cheers her up. Sitting with him on the couch changes everything. Despite the snow and being away from home, she wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. Also, when he turns to her in the Beacon and says that she really is beautiful, that changes so many things for her.
SuperStar by Taylor Swift
This is wrong but I can't help but feel like
There ain't nothing more right babe
Misty morning comes again and I can't
Help but wish I could see your face
And I knew from the first note played
I'd be breaking all my rules to see you
You smile that beautiful smile and all the girls
In the front row scream your name
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
I love this song so much and it’s pretty much the life of a fangirl. It does relate to MG and Niall, though. The beginning tells of how they really shouldn’t be together, but they both want to meet so badly. Then it kind of leads into the concert when she sees how amazing he sings and all of his fans, I don’t know, this song is just so daydreamy to me and I can’t get over it. The last line I quoted reminds me of Marygrace’s semi-low self-esteem when she’s talking to Niall in the Beacon. Kind of like her thinking “He has so many girls to chose from, but, why me?”
You Won't Feel A Thing by The Script
Just Niall’s protectiveness over Marygrace, this song is so perfect.
Today Was a Fairytale by Taylor Swift
If you don’t remember, this is the song that Marygrace tweeted the lyrics to after their date :)
Super Girl by Hannah Montana
I know it seems like a silly choice, but it really describes the pressure on Niall with his being famous.
Sparks Fly by Taylor Swift
The way you move is like a full-on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless that should send me running
But I kinda know that I won't get far
And you stood there in front of me
Just close enough to touch
Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain
'Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
My mind forgets to remind me
You're a bad idea
You touch me once and it's really something
You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you, I know it's no good
I'm captivated by you, baby
Like a fireworks show
Marygrace gets this feeling whenever Niall smiles or laughs, and vice versa. This song describes the tension in the air, the unspoken words, and their relationship as a whole (and the semi-forbidden love).
Our Song by Taylor Swift
This song just reminds me of all the jokes and laughs shared between the two, they’re such a playful couple.
Kiss Me Slowly by Parachute
;)
Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars
Niall and MG in the lobby of the Beacon and his unconditional love.
Superman by Taylor Swift
Tall, dark and superman
He puts papers in his briefcase and drives away
To save the world or go to work
It's the same thing to me
He's got his mother's eyes, his father's ambition
I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him
I hang on every word you say
And you smile and say, "How are you? "
I say, "Just fine"
I always forget to tell you, I love you, I love you... forever
I watch superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world, I'll be around
I watch superman fly away
Come back I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down
This song is really perfect for their long distance relationship. <3
Rhythm of Love by Plain White T's
We may only have tonight
but till the morning sun you’re mine
all mine
In Deep by Shere
They say the grass is always greener
But they wouldn't if they meet her
'cause she's got a way of
turning everything around
I see her through the big end of
a telescope although she seems so far away
I still have hope that maybe
someday we'll be close
And she's got me thinking upside down
Talking backward out the wrong side of my mouth
Making promises that I can't keep
That's how I know
That I'm in deep
All signs say stop but I say go
The light is red but even so
I won't slow down until we
find some common ground
There is no time to hesitate
'cause if I do she'll slip away
And then the hour will grow too late
For me to tell her how I feel
Love, Love, Love this quirky song. Niall stumbling over his feelings for her.
Love in a Coffee Shop by Landon Pigg
I won’t put all the lyrics here, but it’s kind of like the first time they met in person.
Truly, Madly, Deeply by One Direction
The feels this song gives me, I can’t even go into it. Just head-over-heels love, so much of it.
Come Back, Be Here by Taylor Swift
Stumbled through the long goodbye,
One last kiss, then catch your flight,
Right when I was just about to fall
I told myself don't get attached,
But in my mind I play it back,
Spinning faster than the plane that took you...
And this is when the feeling sinks in,
I don't wanna miss you like this,
Come back... be here, come back... be here.
I guess you're in New York today,
I don't wanna need you this way,
Come back... be here, come back... be here.
The delicate beginning rush,
The feeling you can know so much,
Without knowing anything at all.
Taxi cabs and busy streets,
That never bring you back to me,
I can't help but wish you took me with you...
I guess you're in London today,
I don't wanna need you this way,
Come back... be here, come back... be here.
This is falling in love in the cruelest way,
This is falling for you and you are worlds away.
New York... be here.
But you're in London and I break down,
'Cause it's not fair that you're not around.
PERFECT FOR THE LAST CHAPTER.
Begin Again by Taylor Swift
Marygrace’s romance with Brendan went sour and she was bitter, but Niall completely changes that.
Heart of Life by John Mayer
I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Niall comforting Marygrace on all the emails. <3
Hey There Delilah by The Plain White Ts
Hey there Delilah what's it like in New York City
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty, yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you, I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely give this song another listen
Close your eyes, listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Pretty much more of the long distance relationship.
